Demodectic Mange
We recently took our 8 month old French Bulldog to the vet and we were told she has Demodectic Mange. What do you recommend as treatment for her skin and immune system?

Allergies
I have 2 questions. I have 2 dogs, 1 is a purebred lab and the other is a mixed lab. Without doing testing is there a simple way to figure out what allergies they have? My dogs also have spots of scabs the size of dimes or bigger on the under part of their belly and neck and sometimes they itch at them. I have had each of them at the doctors, both different doctors, and they say it is not ringworm and scabies but an infection and have been on meds for over 2 wks and the spots and scabs are still there. What would you recommend doing since they are still there? Is there any info I could obtain on labs and some of their characteristics somewhere?
Shark Cartilage
I rescued an 18 week old Old English Bulldog that has demodex mange. He was in deplorable conditions. He has lost all of his hair. He still has scabs on the top of his head. I took him to the vet and they recommended a highly toxic dip with a 50/50 chance due to the condition that he was already in. I did my research on the problem and I found a site that recommended hydrogen peroxide and 20 mule team borax solution. I did use it and with a change in his diet of rice, sardines, jack mackerel, sweet potatoes, garlic and carrots he is doing so much better. I also rub him down 3x’s a day with pure Aloe gel and I give him enhance probiotic system capsules. He is doing so much better. He was so lethargic but he kept his appetite and I gave him distilled water with apple cider vinegar. My question is this: why has he lost so much weight? Is this something that is due to the demodex mange condition or should I take him to the vet? I don’t think that he has heartworms but I just want to make sure. I am very limited financially. I did order your product to help with his condition. I just want to make sure that his weight loss is normal for this disease.<

Mange
My dog was diagnosed with Sarcoptes mange about 6 weeks ago and we used a product prescribed by the vet called Revolution. Unfortunately, that didn’t do much so I switched to neem oil, which seemed to help when I put it in his shampoo. I was really hopeful! Now the dog seems itchy again. To make matters more complicated, the vet didn’t get a firm diagnosis — he thought he saw one egg with the scraping but found no mites. What if he’s wrong? And we’re also leaving for a family vacation in 9 days. I don’t want to leave the dog with a pet sitter when he’s not feeling well! What is your advice? Can the Defendex work that quickly to help him?
Arthritis and Skin Problem
My dog has arthritis in a crisis situation, and she also has minor skin problem. Can I give her Arthro-IonX twice a day for a crisis situation and Derma-IonX in a regular dosage at the same time?
Possible Demodex Mange
I have a two and a half year old german shepherd that is having itch and skin problems. Can she get demodectic mange after one year of age? If yes, I need a treatment that would work. Could you please look into this and let me know if you can help us. Having issues in the funding area so have to do my own analysis.
Mange Treatment
We have a 9 month old yellow lab,chow mix. He has had mange since we rescued him at 6 weeks old. The vet prescribed Ivermectin, antibiotics, dip etc.. over the past 9 months. The dog will start to look better after a month or so, but then within a week the mange is back. I’ve tried fish oil, essential oils, natural remedies, and they seem to help but I just can’t seem to rid him of it for good.
Shampoo for Mange?
I spoke to a Vet at Petsmart she says that there is “no shampoo” that removes mange from a pet, and that he would require treatment. Pet has small areas that appear to be infected. Please advise.
Defendex- Demodex?
Do you have any success with Defendex for demodex??? I have a 1 y.o. Australian Shepherd with a mild case around 1 eye. Can it be used around the eye?? Due to breed sensitivity to ivermectin, I will not use that and am looking for an alternative. Thanks for any information you can give me.
