Hi there!
Last month, bolota was losing his hairs in a weird way, i mean, he was losing hairs only in a single point (near chest).
After some tests, the vet said he got demodex.
We did the treatment, and now he is ok, but the vet advice us to neuter (not sure if this is the correct word in english) him, because this mange its like herpes, it will come stronger when he got the hormones peaks.
Well, I never really heard about that, and to be honest, i'll neuter him in case of last option, i dont rlly wanna do that.
I've got two questions.
1) I read something saying that this could be caused by use of cortisone, he was sting by a bee, and almost died, and then the vet gave him one or two cortisones shots, could this hair loss been caused by this shots (weak immune system)?
2) This is passed from mother to puppy, but the father can also transmit it? I mean, if one day he have puppies, will they have this mange becuse of bolota?
Thankz!
