Yeah It's benzoil peroxide
My vet gave me Ivermectin, I paid $40 when I got home I do my research about Ivermectin. I went back to my vet at the same day, return the Ivermectin and ask him for pyoben.
Pyoben works great on Xena
I can't find pyoben at petsmart, doggie style or monster pet (local pet store) around here.
Yup, but that is with a pretty narrow group of dogs. And the ivermectin dose for treating mites is about 50x the dose used for HW prevention. Ivermectin
So it it was me, I'd just skip the heartgard while my dog was undergoing mite treatment. But everyone needs to make a choice they feel comfortable with.
And FYI,the active ingredient in Preventic collars is amitraz. Amitraz is also the active ingredient in Mitaban dips used to treat demodex. I've heard that putting a preventic collar on the dog is an effective way to treat mild cases of demodex.
But also be aware that demodex is a sign of a weakened immune system - just about all dogs carry the mite on them, but outbreaks come when the dog immune system can't keep them in check - so you might want to be looking for ways to boost your dog's immune system so their body is able to fight the demodex on it's own.
Ivermectin scares the hell out of me in mixed breed dogs. Remember Ivermectin is TOXIC to collies, and collie mixes. That includes rough & smooth coat, borders, Australian shepherds, and old English sheep dogs. I believe it is apx 35% of Collies lack a ...P-glycoprotein(? I'm pretty sure thats what it is, need to double check) that prevents the ivermectin from reaching the CNS.
Just something to keep in mind, if it does turn out to be demodex.
stop with the cortisone. My thought was a dose or two to stop the licking.
Connie is right, if it is demodex the cortisone can make it worse.
Demodex is a wierd deal, most dogs have some demodex mites at all times, but it only causes trouble on some. It looked like the area was near his penis -- if so, perhaps he got a little urine there, began licking, and removed the hair.
I think you should PM Daniel as it sounds like he is dealing with an identical lesion and is having good luck managing it.
