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 |
