The ivermectin is not being injected it is been giving to her orally the does rate is only 3.8 mls every morning

Malaseb is useless and the Advocate takes time. It often appears worse before it gets better and many a vet and owner hit the panic button and resort to an aggressive approach. What is demodex rinse and where can I buy it from ????

Hope they don't live in Victoria with an unregistered pet shop Stafford :cry: The petshop owner sourced them through a registered breeder, the owner of the pet shop has sinced spoken to the breeder and he says his dam has never had demodex yet my vet did the litters vac and pre purchase inspection and she is now treating 4 pups out of a litter of 6. I have also spoken to my local pound and they were sending the ranger out to find out more I know some might not argee with this but this is not the first little this dam has had and I just dont want anyone else to go through what we are going through as my vet has told me some people do not treat and this is just plain cruel to the pups

It has become expensive but with that being said thats not the issue. The issue is her health she is such a happy girl and I just hate seeing her like this she does not show that it bothers her but it has to be bothering her. As for location I'm in north Victoria

She is black brindle

This is the reason Roxi has started treatment Q: Is Demodex transmissible to my healthy dog from a dog that is infested? A: Healthy dogs are quite resistant to infestations and, as mentioned, may already have a number of mites residing harmlessly in the skin. It is best, though, to not allow your dog to have direct physical contact with a dog that has an active case of Demodex ... just to be safe.

I have no desire what so ever to breed from her (Pepper) we got her as a family pet I would like her to be spayed now but the vet has advised against doing it now. Weather her demodex was generalized or not it was to start of with she lost hair in patches on all her legs on top of her head as well as all her hair on her chest plate as for now she is full of hair once again she does have a few little spots with no hair on her back legs but she has came along way since we first started treatment and she is filling out quite nice I guess I'm just stressing but I only stress because we love her so much, we have come so far and I just dont want a set back for her. As for Roxi ( the one we rescued) she was quite shy to start of with but it is the 2nd week we have had her with us and she is full of life now I have noticed a few spots on top of her head but she was started on advocate last week and I have bathe her with malaseb also, both my girls are due for baths today

She has been on the ivomec for 11 weeks now I knew that coming into season would trigger of the mites with her hormone levels changing but the vet has advised against spaying until the mites are gone due to running the risk of the mites infestings the wound or internal organs which she tells me can be fatal

I had thought the same but it is like before she started to lose her hair from mites the first time round

She is in season at the moment the only thing that is new is our new puppie she has been biting my older one quite abit

She has stopped losing hair but it was 4 days ago that I noticed red crusty patches around her jaw. As for contact with the breeder I got her from a pet shop the owner of thhe pet shop has since spoken with the breeder and he says he has never heard of demodex yet my vet is treating 4 dogs out of the same litter ofv6 puppies. I also rescued a 3 month old stafford my vet has seen her since I brought her home and we started her on advocate since the vet tells me since living with a dog with mites the younger one might get them because of close contact bout dogs have

The more reading I have done say thhat demodex has to do with a weaken immune system so has anyone tried a colostrum powder as I have thought this might help improve her immune system thoughts please

The dry food I give her is Purina supercoat sensitive

Yeah she did a skin scraping when she first saw her but she also told me this will be a long treatment process I just cant see this as something that is going to end for her

Hi all Newbie here, I have a stafford dam she is 6 months old I got her at 8 weeks around 10 weeks I notice thining of hair around the jaw and on top of her head so I took her to the vet where we started her on advocate and malaseb baths weekly there were no results so the vet thought it best to start her on ivomec this seemed to be working quite good until 4 days ago she seemed to be scabing, crusty and red around the jaw again so I guess Im not to sure what is going on I have seem the vet and she gave another round of antibiotics I think the ivomec is not doing so good now and just hoping to hear from people who have gone through this she is such a beauitful girl and just want this over and done with for her. Her diet is raw meat ie lamb shanks beef livers and lamb livers meaty bone, dryfood vegies and I also add some flax seed to her food twice a week. She is not the first stafford I have owned but the first I have dealt with this.
