ask your vet for advocate mate it treats FLEA, LARVAE, WHIPWORM, HOOKWORM, DEMODEX, SARCOPTES, LOUSE, ROUNDWORM, ANGIOSTRONGYLUS, OTODECTES, AND HEARTWORM i use it all the time mate any skin troubles and it will clear it right up

1) get a skin scrape to tell you if its Sarcoptic Mange (fox) or not. If it is treat with what the vets recomeneds usually a spot on. Keep away from other dogs if it is sarcoptic mange.

2) makes sure the food is plain and straight forward, no high proteins, colourings and additives. Ideally a freh diet of white meat, veg and rice. Veg should be greeleaf pulped up.

3) Make sure the dog is sleeping or kenneled in a cool place free of dust in case its dustmite.

 

Hope these steps help, and diet in very important with skin, cheap complete foods will not be helping things..

shame you cant buy tetmasol any more (sheep dip).....Thats stuff would cure practically anything fungal or mite related.

GO TO THE CHEMIST ASK FOR BENZOBENZONATE SOMETIMES THEY HAVE TO ORDER IT, RUB IT INTO AFFECTED AREAS ADD 1\4 TEASPOON BICARBONATE O SODA TO ITS DINNER,THIS COOLS THE BLOOD TAKING THE ITCH OUT OF THE SKIN

IF YOU USE BOTH SIMULTAINIOUSLY SHOULD CLEAR IT UP IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS YOU CAN CONTINUE USING THE BICARBONATE ON A DAILY BASIS TO KEEP IT IN GOOD ORDER.HOPE THIS HELPS.
