Ailing boxer puppies. Mange & Tumor-like Bumps.? General Dog Discussions
I have 2 boxer puppies... 9 months and 11 months. My boy pup has had demodex mange since he was approximately 5 months. We tried several medications starting with ivermectin, and then moving on to mitaban. After his first mitaban dip, we noticed a big improvement and he grew almost all his hair back.A few months later we noticed our other pup losing some of her fur and she hadn't had any problems in the past with her immune system. We took them both in for a skin scraping and they both tested negative for demodex. Now 2 months later... we took them in again (for bumps and hair loss) and they both tested positive for demodex. So, they have both had 3 dips now and since they began the dips, they've both developed tumor-like bumps... the boy on his head and under his chin and the girl on her legs.I'm not too happy with the vet that they have been seeing and plan on changing them immediately. The vet said that the bumps are benign but may cause problems in the future. Any input?
