To the OP, ivermectin is the name of the medication, the name on the bottle is just the brand name, thats all. Also, the hair loss is completely normal progression of this type of mange. It often recurrs and needs continued treatment until he has several negative skin scrapings. Colloidal silver applied topically also does wonders.
Demodex mites and the tendency for certain breeds to sucumb to them is NOT PART OF BEING A PUPPY. They get them only from their mother and it is an inherited trait. Often breeders are aware of this and continue to breed in order to make money, not taking into account that they are passing along sub-par genetic lines, often the case with puppy stores and back yard breeders. Bulldog breeds are more likely to inherit this than many other breeds but I want you to understand that this is not something that is just part of being a puppy, it is inferior genetic lineage and poor breeding practices.
