Advice Needed - Puppy with Demodectic Mange

[LuckyNumber7]

Wanted to update this thread a bit...

We brought Molly to a vet here by our new house, because we were still seeing no improvement from the treament regimen that we were using for over a month. In fact, Molly's spots have been spreading She now has a big bald spot under her right eye, and the ones on her paws are not improving.

The vet took scrapings of every spot that she has, and said there were still a ton of mites - her exact words were "I stopped counting after I got to 7" So, she prescribed Molly liquid ivermectic to be taken every day - .3ml per day. She warned us that this was probably going to be a lengthy battle, and that it could take a while to see improvement. Poor Molly. The vet said that she looks great otherwise, and said "This is the most well behaved puppy I've ever met". My fiance looked like he was about to burst with pride. I wish we could say that she's well behaved from the hours spent training her - but we didn't....she has just always been like that.

We have to keep a close eye on Molly to make sure that she doesn't have a reaction to the ivermectin - we don't know if she has any collie mixed in somewhere. Here are some pictures of Molly where you can kind of see her patches - 1 is on her left front paw, the other under her eye. They look a lot worse now that the vet has done scrapings of the skin - but she had to obviously. This is Molly and our foster dog Rocky chilling out on the patio furniture
