(4) Treatment method: You can choose the injection ivermectin, which can be used once a week for about 8 weeks, because the growth cycle of Demodex is generally about 15 days, and the longest will not exceed 24 days.
You can also choose a medicated bath or topical ointment for treatment. It is recommended that pet owners take a medicated bath every 5 days for 8 times in a row.
It is necessary to remind pet owners that pet dogs infested by mites must shave their hair, because the eggs of parasites may remain in the hair and hatch continuously.
