good luck with your bully baby. Be patient, and try to make all these transitions slowly, as many other bullies have mentioned. It took my bully about 8 weeks for his hair to grow back after the treatment was complete. Ivermectin has been successful for many other owners I've met. Just be careful with all the new changes you are making, change in food, adding fish oil, various mange treatments. You might find that your bully has a negative reaction to one of these new elements - and you won't know which one, since you are making many changes at once. I would try your best to try and get your mange treatment as the priority. The doctor should be able to continue scrapes and see no more mites after your treatment. If they are still seeing mights than your treatments are not effective. Keep the dialogue with your vet going even a few times a week until you get the result you want. Also - food changes can be stressful on the system, but are a good idea to boost the immune system. If the food your trying is making your dog smell, and his coat oily, and poo's soft- you can try adding pumpkin or sweet potato to the food. This does wonders for too hard or too soft poo. I always keep some on hand for any tummy upsets that my Rocco might have. Ever since I finally found his new food he is doing so great. Nice glossy coat (not oily or smelly), no mites, and great firm poop. Every bully has different tolerance so this is a great way for you to get to know your bully. Keep trying and be patient. Sometimes it takes a while to find the right food, the right supplements and the right treatment for mange. Keep us all posted, as we will be here to help support you. I know this can be anxious time for you. It's as bad as a new born baby! Take care
