Demodex - Staffy Puppy

[kaztuz]

We are in touch with a Staffy charity who have a lovely 19 week old bitch for adoption. The only problem is she has been diagnosed with Demodex, it is not localised, but all over her body nearly. She is currently on antibiotics and is having regular Advocate treatments and special baths. I was just wondering if any other ABers had any experience with this skin problem and how long did it last?

Demodex is a form of red mange I think, havnt had experience of it, so dont know how treatable it is, have you asked a vet, or done some research on line?
