Yes, at 5 months old he was diagnosed with demodectic mange. My vet gave me GOODWINOL OINTMENT to rub on the bald spots and a midaban dip 1 every 3 weeks. We were given some pills to help itching which gave him bad, runny poop.

My vet has said nothing about food, immune system or anything else. My vet did say that I can keep him on Hill’s Science Diet, Royal Canin or Purina.

All the information that I looked up on the internet says that I shouldn’t give him any vaccinations, flea or tick control or any medication at all. I’ve already read that he needs to be on a carbohydrate free or at least a grain free food with high protein and antioxidants.
