Demodex???
-
If she has localized demodectic mange she doesn't need any treatments. The outbreaks are usually cause by stress and in most cases subside on their own.
Here is a link to information about Demodex.

I dont think its localized. She has it on her neck, 2 spots, 2 tiny spots on each front leg, 6-7 on her face and about 10 near her rear on her back. the vet did say that her case was not bad at all. That makes me a littler happier. I have been reading that the ivermectin is basically the last resort and a lot of sites say to use benzoyl peroxide gel 5% once daily on each spot. Any opinons on that?? I am up for trying anything that is affordable at this point.

i was just looking at the pictures(the 2) on that page and she dose not have it anything like the 2nd picture but its a little more than the 1st one.

Here is a link to Goodwinol Ointment that is mentioned in the one link. I have never heard of using benzoyl peroxide for demodex.

that looks pretty good, i think if the benzoyl wont work we will try that cuz i have to get it treated soon cuz i am having surgery on the 18th and she will be with a friend for 2 weeks.

not that i have found and the vet didnt say anything about buying it. Im gonna take a trip to petsmart here in a little bit and see if there is anything there.

Well I have used the benzoyl for 2 days now, going on #3. I can see some hair regrowing in some of the spots but not all. So I am praying this is going to work for her. I just hate to see her this way :(
