I have to agree a trip to the vets I think, it just gets worse Xx

I've heard from people with a lot of experience with demodex that you shouldn't initially treat a puppy, but see if it passes on its own. Only the severe varieties needs actual treatment.

All dpgs are born with the demodectic mite present in small quantities. Occasionally they will multiply for various reasons & will cause a small amount of hair loss, normally either on the head or the base of the tail. If it isn't itching/red/sore and it isn't getting bigger, I wouldn't do anything other than keep an eye on it.

Dempsey gets the odd bout of this, normally when he's been a bit under th weather. He loses a patch of hair about the size of a 50p piece at the base of his tail. It starts to grow back slowly after a couple of weeks or so. I've never treated it because it's never caused him any problems.

thanks all,

we were just going to keep an eye on her and see how it goes- she is back in the vets in 4 weeks for her 12wk jab so will see how its doing then
