Default Doberman Pup with Demodectic Mange Question

Hello,
We have a great Doberman male pup, found small bare spots on his coat,
after a scrape and a look under the microscope found that he has
Demodectic mites. We have scheduled the Vet to begin a regiment of
dips. Until then, I am curious of the "home remedies" course of action
and thought I'd see if anyone had treatments that have been successful
for them in this type of case.

I was told benzoyl peroxide might help some but it seems a bit weak
for that even at the strength of 10%.

Another question, what is the best way to increase a dog's immune
system Vitamins?? We have him on Science Diet Puppy Food for Large
Breed Dogs and we mix in a bit of Diamond Puppy Food for the best of
both foods and we have given him vitamin E and Fish Oil to help his
skin, our other Dobe had a skin rash early on and those vitamins
helped, plus we use a bit of sunflower or peanut oil on their food.

I thought about giving them some human vitamins till I get him some
for dogs....but I think they are about the same and might be better in
quality.

Any remedies?

Thanks!!

Hal
