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.

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.

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.

Theo is a super cute and friendly Labrador. He is healthy, a big foodie, is vaccinated, good with humans, kids and other dogs. He is a bit hyperactive and requires physical activities like playing and running regularly. He needs a family that understands his needs. I’m putting him up for adoption as I’m moving abroad and there’s no one to take care of him :(

I would like to share the tiny journey of our 10 week puppy. The Beagle puppy came home to us when it was 5 weeks old.No doubt with a very chic look--black,ebony ,white shoes,socks and tail. A small,yet muscular body,drooping ears and eyes so wise,sometimes look worried about some problem it has on its mind. We have not finalised it's name,the running name being Theo(God or divine). Sometimes it just feels that this is a little devil--very sharp teeth,a high pitched,yet flat yelp and a lunge that goes straight to my slippers,socks and our elder dog's Skippy's nose.It has been yelled at for chewing his tail,his long cocker spaniel hair and ear. But when Theo cuddles up and sleeps for an hour in the afternoon it sure feels like heaven. His appetite has been remarkable--from day one,I have been giving him--Boiled egg,both yellow and white, Cerelac Baby food( as Sudheendra pets was feeding him and his sisters cerelac) I started giving him minced chicken with rice twice.His weight increased to 4kg from 2kgs
