Demodex Mite found really worried

Since you give them so much fish oil, do you give them extra vitamin E or just one pill of vitamin E?

No, just one 400 IU pill a day. Vitamin E is a fat soluable vitamin, so I don't give any additional than the 1 per day (which si safe) and then whatever minor amount is in their food. And my boy does not get a lot of fish oil daily, he gets the recommended amount for his weight, my girl gets the max dose for weight due to her arthritis (1,000mg per 10 pounds), she's been taking that dose for, wow, at least 2 1/2 years now maybe closer to 3 with (1) 400 IU capsule of Vitamin E daily, has a full blood panel run every 3 months and is perfectly fine.

Anybody try D.A.P. Dog Appeasing Pheromone Electric Diffuser for relieving stress? I was reading that some believe that using something like D.A.P. Dog Appeasing Pheromone Electric Diffuser can also help with a dog that might get stressed easily, seperation anxiety or have problems sleeping and can help aid recovery of red manage

Is this shedding season for a boxer? I can't see a single sing of red manage on her, no bumps or anything, but she is shedding like crazy. It's not in a certain spot, but all over her hair is falling out, so I'm hoping it's a shedding season and nothing to do with red mange?

We're getting into winter, so no it shouldn't be shedding season for any dog (FYI there's no "boxer shedding season" it just goes for all animals). Possibly stress, not enough of a vitamin or mineral in the diet, too many chemicals (obviously she's been under a lot of stress medication wise), you said in another post that she's had diarrhea that can cause it, illness, there's a whole slew of reasons. But with the weather getting colder and going into fall and winter it should not be a seasonal shedding.

Well it's 91 or 92 degrees here today. We're having historical highs, so it's not normal and I think a lot of people would probably call this temperature summer for them.

Her hair shedding doesn't seem to be in any one single region and it's all over. She's been off of vitamins for a few days since she's had diarrhea, but I'm glad to say her diarrhea has completely cleared up and she had solid waste coming out of her yesterday and today. I'm hoping to slowly bring back the vitamins, which I bought better quality vitamin C for her, which I'm not sure was a problem, but it could have added to it. I ordered some buffer C vitamins as well as other vitamins and herbs for her.

Her Energy level is extremely high, she's actually eating more than I've ever seen her eat and I don't see any signs, except her face is still slightly red, but I'm a little worried about putting nu-stock/neem oil around her face too much and I'm not sure if it's even needed and besides that only heavy shedding.

I'd say the stress her body's been under and with all of the meds, antibiotics, the ivermectin shots, etc is PLENTY to make her shed. And even at 90 degrees, it isn't any hotter than it has been, you get shedding when you're coming into summer from winter as they shed the winter coat, she should have done that long ago. Just keep an eye on it, sometimes adding additional protein to the diet I've seen help with shedding. But in her case I'd say it's the serious stress her body has been under and the stuff that's been pumped into her (obviously necessary, not criticizing, just stating the obvious), and it'll take a lot of time for her body to bounce back from all of that stress.
