Does my little Bullie pup have mange????? Pictures inside

[LillyBulldog]

I went to the vet and it is indeed demodectic mange. The hotspot on the head is definitly the most pronounced, but there are about 6-10 other smaller spots on her legs and chest. The vet gave me Goodwinol ointment to apply twice a day for 14 days to the areas affected. He said it was localized.. but it is starting to scare me that there are all of these other spots. Should I be concerned? I have an appointment next Wednesday to get the spay stitches out and mange looked at.

You can also give her about a spoonful of yogurt once or twice a day, this helps with the immune system.

Sorry, I'm late, when I blew it up, it looks like a staph or hot spot. Get close in there and give it a sniff. Staph will stink, and the area around it will be like a grey colored scab. These such areas should be dried out with a Medicated shampoo like Pyoben or a topical like MalAcetic Ultra. Keep me posted on how the vets meds rid the spots

thanks

Me too! My post disappeared too! We aren't crazy, are we?

I thought I posted on this?? Anyway.... is this 3 pictures of one spot or 3 different spots? I'm thinking beginning of a hotspot.
