Hi, everyone. Just joined this forum and have a question to ask. I'm from the US but am now living in Mexico. Where veterinarians are hard to find. Not in the sense that they are scarce but a lot are very "iffy" my female had demodectic mange back in September and did well with antibiotic and ivermectin for 6weeks. Skin scrape was done and everything went well. So we stopped treatment (vets advice). She has since relapsed and is losing a lot of hair. So we thought maybe allergies. Grain free definetly helped firm her stool. But she was never really itchy. So now we went to a specialist (dermatologist) and he wants her back on ivermectin for a few months, with a skin scrape every four weeks and antibiotics for 3 weeks. I will do what he says to get my baby better again. My question is that he recommends me put her on ivermectin called IVOMEC...he says that is the only "good" one out there but sells me a bottle of 50 ML for 350 dollars. Would there be an equivalent just as good, cause I feel he is charging way to much for that ivermectin...that is the problem here at times. When they know you are American....they charge you quadruple what they would anyone else (been through it many times here). He says the other brands of ivermectin don't contain the same thing and are too weak?
