It's very gentle on skin, so it can be used as frequently as necessary, is also safe for puppies. I've also used a hydrocortisone spray (for dogs) that helps reduce itching.<br /><br />Vitamins, I'm not as sure about. The ivermectin has done the trick within a few months, so I've never had a need to use any extra vitamins. I've heard that things like fish oil and avocado are good for skin. But a good-quality food should have all the necessary vitamins.<br /><br />In my (limited) experience, the components for successful mange rehab include: daily ivermectin, clean environment and blankets, low stress, good-quality food, and weekly bath. Sunscreen (for babies) is also important if the dog's going to be out in the sun for any length of time, because burned skin is damaged skin.happypitbullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03607831951903607541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-21708643887439136592010-09-28T15:47:11.078-05:002010-09-28T15:47:11.078-05:00Hi, I got to meet Star at a softball game not to l...Hi, I got to meet Star at a softball game not to long ago. We talked about my dog Bella that has Demodectic Mange. She seems to be doing okay but I was wondering if there is a vitamin she can take to help with her immune system and is there a shampoo you use that would help at least with the dry skin that follows an outbreak. Did you find homes for all the puppies?<br />ThanksUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07231213329464558610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-17319376185353042212009-09-01T01:15:31.517-05:002009-09-01T01:15:31.517-05:00that is one cute pup. he is adorable and I am glad...that is one cute pup. he is adorable and I am glad to hear that his mange is not contagiousKari in Alaskahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08555458287778413718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-43736628257889711692009-08-27T00:01:48.072-05:002009-08-27T00:01:48.072-05:00I hate spiders.

In one of my classes last Spring, the professor was complaining that there are more animal shelters than womens' shelters. On any given day, I like animals more than most people, so this makes absolute sense to me. <br /><br />Lucky for Dubby, he had made it to a good place. Hopefully, he will feel better after he has a nice bath. <br /><br />What you are doing has inspired me. I am going down to our local no kill shelter tomorrow (they are closed on Wednesday) to see what I can do to help. I asked my husband if he would mind if I foster, but he reminded me that we decided not to get another dog after we lost Zeus because Luda is doing so much better as the only dog in the house. Hopefully, I will find other meaningful ways to helpLudahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07943494211159766139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-27325639621363928012009-08-24T23:51:57.204-05:002009-08-24T23:51:57.204-05:00Dennis stank when we got him from rescue, too.

Still, it sucks being so itchy!<br /><br />Mange definitely has an off-putting odor. If we can smell it, imagine how much different it would be for a dog with way better olfactory skills? I'm sure as he gets a little better, Star will warm up to him.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14977410602426080310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-58376017782727711312009-08-24T15:10:29.031-05:002009-08-24T15:10:29.031-05:00Great news!!!!Great news!!!!Kembreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06527566760127489135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25149175.post-48716055759417200542009-08-24T14:59:02.759-05:002009-08-24T14:59:02.759-05:00We love fostering too - we do it as much as Sweeti...We love fostering too - we do it as much as Sweetie allows - she needs time in between to relax!!<br /><br />we just saw the video and it was funny - poor star is all confused<br /><br />Wodorow - Sweetie - MJWoodrow, Luna, MJ Campanellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04712465590902677678noreply@blogger.com
