Question:
switch to a chemical free dog food to give your dog’s immune system a break I feed mine Solid Gold and I feel that it has helped her Lupus Discoid which is an immune disorder bev – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I have a small dog that has suffered from demadex and skin infections all of her life (10 years). We have been treating her by giving her Interceptor every week for the mites and Erythromycin (sp?) or Baytril twice a day for the infection. When the mites start to get out of control, in spite of the Interceptor, we have her dipped in Mitaban. This has been pretty expensive over the years as the vet must knock her out to do the dipping, but it has mostly worked too. Now this course of treatment seems to be gradually becoming less effective. Have any new treatments for this problem been developed in the last couple of years? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ask your vet about immuno therapy. Dogs thats suffer from demodex are usually immunosuppressed and thats when the mites take over. As far as the pyoderma is concerned Cephalexin is an excellent antiobiotic for the skin. By the way…. Why do they have to knock the dog out for a Mitaban dip? Gon
