Demodetic mange is caused by naturally
occuring mites on the skin that were
transferred there at birth or soon after.
They only become an issue when a dog has a
weakened immune system and can not keep
them under control. The best thing is get
them mitaban dipped multiple times and get
them on a medicine regimen to cure it.
Suzy, I though you accidentally ODed her
and THAT almost killed her. If that is
the case she would do ok on regular
dosing. Also, your doctor should NOT have
sent you home with the injection. It does
not need to be given often enough to
require you to do it yourself.

the vet said any dog that young and that
small givin a dosage that high of
ivermectin could kill them. but yes she
had too much
and the vet didnt send me home with it
she was givin the meds to me by the woman
whom i took her from at pawmatch rescue
theyve already had a lawsuit filed on them
for it by another rescue group too.
yeah shes going to get dipped. the vet
thought he minght be able to fight it off
herself but her system was too weak from
all the treatment she had to go through a
few months back or we would have gotten
her dipped sooner

Gone,
If that is the case then she could
probably take a few injections at the
proper dosage fairly well now.

Not off the top of my head. We normally
just have them drop off and do it as a
bath. I do not think it costs more than
$100 at MOST. it depends on the weight of
the dog. Their are also some at home
treatments you can do as well to help her.
You can im me on yahoo for some links.
