??? I'd do $70 in a heart beat. The regular vet (not the allergist) told me he thought it was around $1,000. I'll call and confirm with them tomorrow. I'd expect to find out he's never done the test and was just pulling a figure out of thin air...grrrrrrr.
Yup, just follow the "Testing" link in my other post and you'll find the info that you need!
I think if the lime sulfur didn't help perhaps the ivermectin isn't going to be magic.
Lime sulfur is pretty deadly for mites.
Mange usually makes a "raw" place on the ear or face. Does he have that?
In your signature picture Falcon does not have a "mangy" look -his coat is full and shiny.
Nope, no bare spots or raw places. The only areas which are effected at all are the edges of his ears, and I don't know if he caused this himself from the scratching or if it is a symptom. His overall coat and skin is in excellent condition.
The dips were one week apart for six weeks; supposedly the life-cycle of mites is three weeks.
Yes, I understand that;
but if you "treat" the dog, is there any chance, it is Immediately getting re-infested? ie
laying on a bed that was not washed at exact same time as dog;
walking thru house on carpet that may be infected?
I was not given ANY directions on treating the environment, so THAT would tick me off big time. We did throw out the dog beds when we started and purchased new ones, but did no "bombing" etc...
My POST from page 5: Note MINIMUM of 4 weeks & Treating with Residual Insecticide.
You Have Probably already done this (treat environment), but the symptoms you describe sound so like, scabies, or mange:
From Dr Foster Smith:
"In addition to treating the dog, the environment such as the dog's bedding can be treated with a residual insecticide (e.g.; permethrin). Since Sarcoptes scabiei is easily transmitted between animals, all dogs in contact with an infected animal should also be treated. Because of the length of the life cycle and ability of the mite to live off of the animal, treatment must continue for a minimum of 4 weeks.
Because of the damage to the skin in sarcoptic mange, many dogs also have bacterial and or yeast infections. These need to be treated as well."

Seems like common sense, but your new beds infested seems like a problem.
