Hi there
I have been following this thread.... I have had similar experiences with Sidnee.
She had mange and was prescribed dips every week. However, she reacted adversely to the dips. Probably due to the stress put on her. Her mange became worse and I had to shave her. Next she was on daily wipes with diluted Tahtic solution. It seemed to control her situation but at the same time I noticed her skin was turning hard. She was one unhappy fellow.
The medicine (antibiotics etc) were making her drowsy, she slept day and night - not even a single woof from her. When she is awake, she seemed so blurr.
In the end, I took her entirely off medication and tried the lemon tonic mentioned in this thread. At the same time, I slowly introduce her to probiotics and fresh food. I blend all her veges (to aid digestion) and feed her raw meat. Recovery was slow but definite. Now she is mange free and from her last visit to the vet, she has been given a clean bill of health.
Yes, ocassionally I still see some bumps here and there, but she is happy now and she smells better. No more bad odour -urgh! the smell of demodex.
So, from what I see, adding fresh food helps a lot. A few weeks ago, Sidnee had diarrhea and the skin on her tail errupted again. I tried ointment recommended by vet for 2 days, no result. Then I squeeze some fresh lemon drops on her tail and viola! the next morning it dried up.
Maybe you want to give it a try?
Take Care
