Well I just got home from the vet with duke. My suspicions were confirmed- duke has demodectic mange. He's gotta take ivermectin orally for 30days. Also the vet told me to bath him once a week with a antifungal shampoo. Also duke has had a slight cough ongoing for about 3 weeks. Took him to a back up local vet for suspicion of kennel cough- he was negative- after it persisted I called my regular vet he said try Benadryl - well at the examination today the vet said his tonsils were inflamed and gave me temaril. He said its no big deal and kinda of like a kid when there tonsils flare up. He said it should be a non issue. Has anyone had experience with this? Well the good news is his eyes look good, his hips and knees are strong, and he was negative for coccidia! We have to go back for another scraping in 30days. Thanks [MENTION=2071]Davidh[/MENTION] & [MENTION=983]LariP[/MENTION] regarding the demodectic it was a big help. Those are nasty little suckers- the vet showed me the scraping under the microscope.- [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] curious about the tonsils you have any experience?
