Three days into the new regimen...

Lot's of good news to report.

Sarah really likes getting a 1/4 slice of cheese 3 times a day. She thinks it's a treat!

Since Tuesday, when she got her first dose, her activity level has risen. As I noted earlier, her "normal" day for the last several months had been lounge around, and sleep most of the day with a couple of quick "outs". In the evening, get up and play for an hour or so.

Understand, she has a very short attention span, so play is about 3 minutes at a time of fetch. Maybe a couple of minutes chewing on a good chew, and then a lot of self-grooming.

I've been having some issues getting the pictures sent to me, so I'll try to describe what her skin/fur looks like with demodex. When I get the pictures up, you'll see what I mean.

The most noticable location right now is her chest. From an area just above where her legs join her body, and down the inside of both front legs there is little to no hair. Her skin is mottled dark grey and pink. Last week it was slightly inflamed and warmer than usual to the touch. She has the infamous demodex stink.

Also, down the outside of both front legs there are dried scabby areas interspersed with scraggly fur.

Now, we've already been through outbreaks on the head, the face, the sides, and all four legs at least once, not to mention the tail a couple of times. The only place she's not had an issue has been directly on her belly. The skin there is still nice and pink.

Since she's been getting this new stuff, her activity level has increased. Now she want's to play about every 3 or 4 hours for a little while. Her appetite has picked up a bit, too.

I've noticed that the inflammation on her chest and inside her front legs is virtually gone. Also, the areas on the outsides of her legs appear to be healing. If this is truely the case, I'll be elated.

You can go here to see why I'm so excited, or simply call this toll-free number for information about the product, 1-877-728-9708.
