Hi! My female labrador is diagnosed with demodicosis. The vet has prescribed bravecto to treat demodex. How long does it take for bravecto to initiate the killing of demodex mites? Also, Can demodicosis increase even after giving bravecto? Image 1: Diagnosis of demodex. Image 2: Bald patch on one of her arm.
Dr. Anukarna Singh
Demodex mites take around 3 months to clear out completely. One dose of bravecto should be enough to take care of the infestation, please don't repeat the tablet without consulting the attending doctor. Along with this you should also use a medicated shampoo and give a bath once in 2 weeks to prevent secondary bacterial/ fungal infection. Omega supplements can be added on it will help to improve skin health.

Kindly suggest a medicated shampoo for the same. Also, we are providing her omega3 supplement+salmon oil in her meal.
Dr. Anukarna Singh
You can use conaseb. Salmon oil/ any fish oil has high concentration of omega fa 3. With this you would need something which has omega fa 6, this comes from vegetables oils like safflower/ soyabean oil. Considering the infestation, you can give a ready supplement like softcoat/ vitabest derm for now.

I was suggested in a Kuddle training session that I can give my two-month old golden retriever rice, curd, chicken, mashed veggies and eggs instead of the Royal canin puppy starter food that I had been feeding him for the past five weeks. I used to give 240grams of the royal canin food everyday, but I’m unsure if the rice etc that I am giving will be sufficient for him in terms of quantity as well as nourishment. I’m not sure if he’s shouting because he’s hungry or simply because we aren’t playing enough with him. How do I figure out if he is hungry? Kindly suggest how I can ensure he gets the needed nutrition.8 comments•54 views
