Demodectic Mites

Demi

Looking for any advice on demodectic mites/mange. Out EBT Demi has had it for about 5 months now...possibly since leaving litter? She has had 4 months of injections and still no good, having a good diet of meals with mutts dry food grain free, coconut oil, ACV and probiotic supplement fresh meat. She has terrible eye goop each morning which is yellowish and she has a not so pleasant odour even 1 day after bathing! We are so lost as to what to do with her!

I assume they were giving her ivermectin ?

I'm so sorry I hope she gets relief soon

Demi

Yes ivermectin shots with no improvement. Was hoping to hear of any other miracles maybe?

That's certainly a bad case. I understand that your Vet is adamant about prescription drugs, chemical shampoos, and a gamut of other medications and drugs. These medicines can often make matters worse.

Something you need to take into consideration is that mites, in general, are found on almost every dog. However, they don't have any ill effect on healthy dogs. For dogs with weak immune systems there's no question mites will cause issues like demodectic mange. I've had several Rescue Bull Terriers come to us with horrible skin issues like your dog. Many of them were on medications too. However, the best results I've achieved with solving the problem were by concentrating on strengthening the immune system through a proper diet, exercise, and a supplement to boost the immune system.

I encourage you to read our link on a proper Bull Terrier diet - http://bulliesofnc.com/bull-terrier-nutrition/

I'm confident if you provide a well balance grain free diet, bump up her daily exercise, and provide her with a NuVet vitamin each day you will see amazing results. The NuVet supplement has worked miracles for some of the Bull Terriers we've treated. There are no risks either because they have so much confidence in their product that they provide a money back guarantee. - http://bulliesofnc.com/online-store/supplements-vitamins/

Please try my suggestions. You have nothing to lose and I know you'll see results.

Thanks for the advice, we have had her on a good diet of grain free dry food and raw meat, vegetables and fruit, coconut oil, ACV and probiotic powder also. We have not seen a great deal of improvement with this even though her diet is great! She is deaf, also one blue eye and one brown eye which may be a contributing factor to her poor immine system? Currently on heat also ????
