Vet x 2

Unfortunately Audrey was diagnosed with Demodectic Mange (Demodex, puppy mange) today. She will be on oral Ivermectin for the next 60 days. Her hair should grow back within the next few months.

Mackenzie accompanied us to the Vet because her bum was bleeding and as it turns out she has an anal gland abscess and got a shot of antibiotics. :(

demodex isn't awful at least- and puppies usually recover pretty fast! you could look into an immune booster supplement- that will help aswell- and probably faster than the ivermectin...

She's on four supplements already. Fish oil, Vit C, SureGrow 100, and GlycoFlex 300.

I've seen some anal gland abscesses and they don't look very comfortable at all! Anyway, just passing through and thought I'd leave a short "Hello".
