Demodex Mange
Demodex is a parasite that lives in the skin of young dogs and puppies. It should come as no surprise that as these small parasites make the skin home the skin tends to change. In the most subtle cases dog hair simply falls out. In more advanced cases the skin will become infected, weep and make pustules. Yes parasites in your dogs skin is gross but we can kill the parasites with a month long course of an antiparasitic medicine. Demodex is a common case the vet can diagnose and treat. |
