Treatment Experience:
　　1. Mite disease should be treated as early as possible. The earlier the diagnosis and treatment, the better the effect. If you inject ivermectin into the dog in the early stage of onset, usually one or two injections are effective. The dog will suffer less, and the owner will spend much less effort.

　　2. If the mites are already severe, be prepared for long-term treatment.
At the beginning, red spots spread quickly, then pus, bleeding, scabbing, and pigmentation occur. Just like my dog Baobao, who was sick from early April to mid-June before significantly improving; the pustules disappeared, but the skin pigmentation is still fading. The following photo was taken recently; you can see dark spots from her neck down to her paws — that is deposited melanin that has not yet faded.

　　3. Mite disease is not a highly fatal illness, so there is no strong need for hospital treatment; however, you can go there for a diagnosis and then purchase injections and medicines for your dog yourself, which will greatly save costs!

　　4. Pay close attention to your dog's daily hygiene, keep the kennel clean, do not let your dog contact infected peers, and try to avoid taking the dog to dirty grass fields for activities, especially during the spring, a high-incidence season for infectious diseases. Ensure good disinfection and hygiene.
According to veterinarians, mites actually exist on every dog but proliferate massively and cause disease only under suitable conditions.

　　5. Although there is no evidence that dog mite disease can infect humans, precautions should be taken to prevent infection. Wash hands immediately after contact with an infected dog and mop floors with diluted bleach.
I also bought Silox disinfectant spray to regularly disinfect my dog's bed and home sofas.

　　6. Demodex infection is related to the body’s immune function deficiency, so enhancing physical condition is the foundation for disease recovery. During illness, pay special attention to your dog’s diet; never let the dog go hungry and consider increasing feeding frequency.

　　An important supplement: sulfur ointment is toxic; do not apply it to areas the dog can lick. I applied sulfur ointment to Baobao's hairless back, and used Jieeryin on the belly areas where she could lick. Jieeryin evaporates, so as long as you prevent licking while it dries, it is fine.
　　Simple Methods for Treating Mites
　　Many friends have long been troubled by pets developing skin diseases from mites.
Actually, mites are not scary; 70% of people have them to some extent. Mites usually trigger disease only when skin resistance is poor, and most people have no symptoms. However, dogs are particularly sensitive to mites, so they easily develop skin diseases from them.
　　1. Prevention and Health Care
　　Traditional Chinese Medicine - regularly use rhubarb and gallnut rinse for washing and soaking.
Main ingredients: snake bed seed, gallnut, Kochia scoparia, rhubarb (very cheap and no side effects)
　　Western Medicine - sulfur powder, sulfur soap, methoxazole for external washing and soaking (cheaper but sulfur inhibits normal sebum secretion causing dry skin and dull coat, so avoid frequent use). Most professional products on the market have similar ingredients.
　　2. Treatment
　　Doramectin emulsion - originally developed for pigs and cattle but can be used on cats and dogs.
This drug has a strong irritating smell and some side effects; improper use can cause poisoning. It is also cheap.
　　Coal tar - an effective folk remedy. You can buy a coal tar rinse called "Zeta" at major pharmacies. This medicine is originally for seborrheic dermatitis treatment (more effective than any shampoo for scalp).
　　3. Injection
　　If the condition is serious with wounds and infection, injection treatment should be chosen.
Most vets now use ivermectin or doramectin, both are similar drugs but the latter is a new generation. Ivermectin is injected once every three days, doramectin once a week. Their side effect is the possibility of affecting fertility, so breeding is best avoided for six months after injection. If there is infection, antibiotics can be injected, taken orally, or applied externally. A tip: some vets still use lincomycin (cheap) but it is almost phased out; new generation clindamycin works better.
　　Home Remedies, this is not a joke
　　Those who have had mites say: is it that easy to cure? A six-month continuous treatment to see if it can be cured is still questionable. Continue treatment: besides injecting ivermectin, wash with Jieeryin every three days and bathe with mite-removing solutions every three days, alternating.
　　Even after no symptoms appear, continue washing: once a week with Jieeryin and once with mite remover, plus continuing ivermectin shots.
Persist for half a year; if still not eradicated, it can only be blamed on poor hygiene or inadequate disinfection at home. If budget is limited, you can buy medicine and inject yourself—very cheap but dosage must be controlled. For 1% ivermectin, inject 0.2ml per 10 kg. For small dogs buy 0.1% ivermectin, available at veterinary drug wholesalers.
　　I use domestic ivermectin (just as effective as imported brand "Maverick", and many vets actually put domestic ivermectin into "Maverick" bottles to charge you). Each small bottle (2ml) costs only 3 yuan.
It can be used many times. Haha, happy.
　　The mite remover comes in packs of five 5ml bottles, enough for four or five washes. Each box I bought is 3.5 yuan.
　　Dexamethasone sodium phosphate I bought is 3 yuan a box (1ml x 10).
　　Jieeryin is 8.5 yuan per bottle, quite expensive, gone after one wash.

　　If you cannot get the medicine, do not ask me. I don't want to be scolded and I have no time to go to the post office. I mention prices just to show how much vets profit.
　　Even after complete cure, use medication to wash monthly because mites already exist in your home’s surroundings.
