Wow dave, thanks very much for your time spent on researching Chewy's mange and continued concern :thumbsup:. I've read similar reports and accounts of neem & sesame oil therapies. Haven't tried it yet. Seems like the injectable ivermectin given daily orally and Derma Benss shampoos every 3 days are starting to hopefully work. The extreme red, scaley and furrowed skin patches seem to be turning a lighter pink to tan color, the deep furrows seem to be getting shallower and smoother, and some tiny hair growth seems to be starting, at least in a few spots. She still has swollen glans and is still on daily antibiotic and pro/prebiotic, and calcium supp. She's not obsessively scratching and chewing like before but we still have to keep her from itching sometimes. I'll check with my vet to see about useing it while on this treatment. He recommended I stop the topical ointment I was using - Durvet's Nu-Stock ointment(73% sulfer, 25% mineral oil, 2% pine oil) when her mange went from localized to generalized, which I have.
She's been on monthly Sentinel since she's been old enough, and the diatomaceous earth we've been giving her since 3 months old. It's a pill for heart, whip and roundworms, as well as fleas and ticks. It's works well except for the occasional hitch-hiker ticks which are easy to pick off as they don't seem to dig it too deep or even eat/drink much. While on the ivermectin we were told to suspend the Sentinel as it's already an extremely high dose of pesticide.
She eats pretty well now, what a spoiled girl, she only likes her homemade food warm, will hardly touch it cold right out of the fridge!! She has regular bm's and normal stools. I think, hope, pray her immune system is starting to mature and kick in to help her heal herself. It's been a long tough battle with her health issues. She's only just 7 mos old, we've been fighting one ailment or another for about 5 mos. She honestly gets more healthcare than I do.

and fleas haven't been an issue. Sentinel is described as being like Interceptor plus flea control.
