Demodex Aka Mange.

My location didnt change correctly when i made my profile but i live in tasmania, think there would only be about 20 vets statewide.. and sadly ive gone off references from the canine association for the vet.. But Im not giving up

Oh, I think there's a few more than that! ;)

If you're in the southern region, then I would highly recommend giving David Boersma at Sandy Bay Holistic a try - http://sandybayvet.com.au/

You need to be working on your dogs immune system, and an holistic approach might be worth a go :)

Thankyou!

Perosnally, I'd be contacting a specialist and asking their advice on a local Vet who they can work with to help you.

Here are specialists in both Melb and Sydney who might be able to assist;
