But based on his symptoms i think were dealing with sarcoptic mange since he's itching like crazy and people who come in contact with him kay mangatol sab which is very typical of sarcoptic mange... The vet recommended lori soap and diphenydramine only for him to break out in 'hives' so wala na jd ko ni usab ug gamit sa soap and med. We're on our first week of treatment that ako giresearch day and night and i think its actually working. Basin maka help ni although lahi ra jud na bugs ang ga cause sa demodectic ug sarcoptic mange. 1. Changed dog food to a hypoallergenic formula. 2. Continued LC vit vitamins and added also IN diet nuggets for skin and coat. 3. Bathed him with Keto-C shampoo 3x a week. Lathered it twice kay ang 1st shampoo kay di pa kaau ka penetrate tungod sa mga hugaw ug abog sa coat. 4. Bought Revolution (Selamectin) and gi apply sa iya nape. Will be giving another 'dose' next week if gamay ra ang improvement. (Revolution as per manufacturer's advise be given monthly but since grabe2 ang condition sa ako pup, I might give another dose after 1-2 weeks depending sa response. ) So far he's doing well, eats and drinks a lot and the scratching episodes are minimal. Di na sab kaau tanto init iya lawas (init kaau ang skin kun naay something wrong sa iyang skin).
