A recent post in here, that I saw, had me realising JUST how wrong it is to just cut & paste info from the internet without having dealt with the disease or researched it correctly.
You can give someone false/misleading information without meaning too,which I am sure is the case below
I have of course dealt during my time as a vet assistant (I wont say nurse as I am not qualified) with many different cases of localised & generalised Demodex, the 4 vets at our practice have all found with the various different cases that whilst Democodosis is a mite that "all puppies carry" it will only occur in pups with a low or suppressed imunological deficiency problems. Since Immune problems can be & generally are genetic it is a problem for litter mates. We have now started referring people with pups with demodex/demodectic mange/democodosis to holistic vets working on the principal of treat from the inside out working on increasing & improving the suppressed immune system, whilst treating with Advocate from the exterior as well.
and from Dr Mike Richards DVM
And for a final one as I could quote demodex research all day,
So what do you think is anyone up for and educational & enlightening discussion on demodex?
Opinions are very welcome
