My research indicates over and over that ALL dogs have demodectic
mange mites on their bodies. But some dogs have periodic breakouts of sores
because the mange mites get out of control in numbers. We once dog-sat for
someone, and their dog began to show signs of demodectic mange.
Our vet told us about several protocols to help the dog. The most
commonly-prescribed method required weekly "dips" in a toxic substance that had
side effects such as vomiting and lethargy.
However, he knew of another treatment that was easy, cheaper, and could be
done at home...without the side effects!
He prescribed (for a 25-lb dog) ONE cc of liquid Ivermectin 1% solution to be
given orally to the dog for 6 weeks, daily.
It worked. The total treatment cost me about $25.
A 1 cc syringe can be purchased from a vet or Wal-Mart, etc.
The 1% Ivermectin is a cattle or horse dewormer that can be purchased online
for the best savings, or from a vet at a higher price. City vets probably won't
have this stuff, and if they do, they'll charge an arm and a leg. But, still
probably less than the toxic dips!
Online
Example of the Ivermectin we bought at:
http://www.jefferslivestock.com/ Other sources can by found by
searching in Google for key words such as Ivomec 1% dewormer,
Ivermectin, Eqvalan, etc.
Do not overdose with Ivermectin products.
Please note that a few breeds of dogs, mainly herding breeds, can have severe reactions to Ivermectin. If
your dog is a sheltie, collie, or other herding breed, contact
your veterinarian to discuss whether your breed can be given
heartworm-prevention products such as HeartGard (Ivermectin) or
other similar treatments.
If you are giving your dog another medication at the same time,
talk to your vet before using the Ivermectin treatment. One drug,
Comfortis® (spinosad) in particular, causes an increased effect of
the Ivermectin, and should not be used concurrently with daily
Ivermectin.
