Hi, I have a 4 month old pup that has been diagnosed with Demodectic Mange, he had his first bath using Aludex last night, poor little boy is not happy today, those smelly chemicals must be in his system. Anyway, after reading up about this type of mange I was wondering if there were any foods/supplements that I could give him to help boost his immune stystem, just to try and help him fight it a little?

Also, is it normal for the Aludex to effect him this way, he is normally very hyper and bounding about, he barely greeted us this morning and has just slept since, very unlike him...poor baby

OH poor you ive not long been through this with my pup the aludex does eventually work and i also added Echinacea purpura from health food shop plus i found some immune drops on a web site when i just typed in immune support for dogs  ithink its called canine pharmacy it does get better takes a while though my poor baby went completly bald Ahhhhh

Forgot to say he may act that way after the bath in aludex my pup did a day later back to normal until next bath time poor thing it put her off baths for good

Hi, heres a link about alternative treatment for d/mange. It also gives a list of supps to help the immune system :)
