Kooper has Demodex AKA MANGE MITES!!. :scared: Plus the vet thinks that he might have some elbow issues but thats a different story for a different day. The vet ( who is SO wonderful! ) prescribed him chephalexin/keflex 500mg, hydroxyzine/ atarax 50mg, and ivermectin 1% oral solution plus a medicated shampoo that has to be done once a week till directed. He is scheduled to go back in three weeks for a check up! wish him luck!

Poor baby. At least you now know what it is and have the tools to begin the road to recovery. Keep us posted as to how things are going.

Hope he gets rid of it soon, a spoonful of plain yogurt everyday will help.

:hug2:Zeus had Demodex too. We caught his early and he took Ivermectin and wore a flea collar. Every couple of weeks he went back to be checked. We had to change the flea collar one time and he took the Ivermectin for a couple of months. He was treated one more time after he had a negative scraping. We started with the NUvet and Greek plain yogurt and acidophilus and no problems in the past 8-9 months. We feed Fromm's Pork and Peas. Hope Kooper gets better soon. Remember "this,too, shall pass!"

Amelia has Demodex too. She's currently taking the oral solution of ivermectin daily. The vet gave her an injection the day she had her spay early in August then started the oral 10 days later. That's supposed to be done for 30 days then she goes back in for a recheck. The area of hair loss/irritation on her side isn't getting any better looking yet. He really isn't having us do anything topical but I'm wondering what might help.
Any suggestions from people who have treated it before?
