I hope the ointment works. Einstein had demodectic mange when he was a puppy, but he was on Promaris. It made him so sick. So glad he's done with that. But I'm a little concerned because he has a very small patch behind his ear where he's lost hair. Not sure if he was just itching his ear too much. Good luck!

That is how Gypsys started. With a small spot behind the ear. A week later we noticed another one on her neck and knew it was time for a vet trip.

[MENTION=2242]karenben[/MENTION] isn't that FRUSTRATING!!! I told the vet that I was so glad it was not some mystery skin affliction because at least we know how to treat it. Keep us posted on what is going on.

Food for thought...a little yogurt goes a long way to keep a Bullie's immune system up to par! Our Punkie Brewster had Demodex when we got her. Our vet put her on the oral med for Demodex and Fortiflora to boost her immune system. I give my babies two tablespoons of plain, unflavored yogurt each day...it's also good for their digestion. With Bulldogs a little prevention is worth a pound of cure...LOL!!

Princess Gracie gets a laaaaarge tablespoon of yogurt at least once a day. We feel it helps her digestive system.

i know i was wishing it was mange then at least she would be sorted,ive started her on cocanut oil topicaly and orally she loves the stuff,this morning after applying it last night this morning her belly and pits are not as red ,ive read great things about the healing powers of cocanut oil,also im giving her,zinc,dandelion,primrose oil,echenacea,all to support her immune system,im even considering breast milk,dont laugh or think im mad but breast milk contains luric acid which babies need for the immune system,now you may think its perhaps a step too far but its worth a try ,i know that if i can get her immune system back to full throttle lol then she will be able to handle this allergy,will keep you posted thats if i dont end up in custody first lol,karen

[MENTION=1906]GatorRay[/MENTION]...can you post photos? I think it will come in handy down the road when others are wondering what the start of mange looks like.

Brooklyn also has demodex mange and has been on the oral treatment for almost a month now, we'll be taking her in soon for a scraping to see how she is doing.
