Wishfull thinking...
Was it too much for me to ask that Sky doesn't suffer or go through the skin issue's that poor Inca went through..
But my OH said recently that he thought the fur round Sky's eye's was thinning out an that she might have the starting of Demodex...
So after 2 or 3 days i relented an took Sky the vet who aggree'd with my OH that she is just starting to show sign's of Demodex and put her on Advocate, which i have to administer on a fortnightly basis...
The vet said she would normally advise owners to use Advocate on a mnthly or 3 mnthly basis but when it comes to pups who aren't quite as strong to try an fight it like older dogs then it can be administered on a fortnightly basis...
Anyone else heard of pups having Advocate on a fortnightly basis !!
The vet reckons we caught it in time as the skin around her nose was starting to crinkle up ...

I've used advocate in the past on a pup that had puppy mange and the dose was 1 application once a month for 3 months
