You've had some good advice from others who responded. I'll add some things that I have had good luck with in treating both pups and adult dogs that have had demodex mange. I have had good success in using Immugen (by Thorne), which is an immune system support supplement. Don't know if I'm...

Sebastian was on the Ivermectin for about 50 - 60 days or so. Most of the dogs in our rescue that we treated were on it anywhere from about 45 to 90 days, but most were right around 60 days. Some of the dogs were on Cephalexin for 2 weeks but most that I can recall were on it more like 30 days...

His skin did return to normal. I could see that in areas where I knew for certain the skin had been pink. The face was the most dramatic as it was not only black but very leathery looking. The blackened areas on the rest of his body never looked like that. We use the small daily oral doses...

Thanks for the reply, Gary. Yesterday was Zeke's third obedience training class (1 per week). My understanding is that one major thing that prompted the family to start the training was that Zeke had begun to do the growling. They didn't feel at the time it was a huge issue but wanted to nip it...

I volunteer with a local Boxer Rescue. Back in April a family called a local Doberman rescue asking if they could surrender their female Doberman to them, and oh, by the way, they also had a male Boxer. Both dogs had been exiled to the garage once their baby was born 5 -6 months earlier. They...

I'm sorry that I found this thread so late. I volunteer with a local Boxer rescue, so naturally we have seen more than our share of demodex. In May we brought in a Boxer pup that had the worst case that I had ever personally dealt with. Sebastian was about 4 months old on the day I picked him up...

I was wondering if anyone has heard anything yet about this new food. It's being put out by Timberwolf and is supposedly based on the original Canidae formula. At least that is what I am hearing. In doing a bit of searching, I believe this to be the ingredient list for the original Canidae...

Last summer and fall I fought this same problem myself. Between my own 3 (2 Boxers, 1 mixed breed), a foster here and there and sometimes my 2 Boxer grandbabies, my yard turned into a disaster area. That's not to mention all those feet to clean and the constant carpet cleaning indoors. I tried...

Hello! I volunteer and foster for St. Louis Boxer Rescue and have been for close to a year now. I have two Boxers of my own. Gracie is a two year old fawn female that is a rescue. Rambler is a one and a half year old white, deaf male who is a "failed" foster. I also have a mixed breed, six year...
