I read and our vet told us that localized demodex isn't a sign of an underlying problem but that generalized demodex that's managed to spread wide enough to create more than 10 spots is a sign the immune system isn't working at a high enough rate. Yoda seems to have had a litter before we got her and her needs were not taken care of, , so hopefully it's just stress related and as soon as she settles in her immune system will bounce back up... Def hope it's not actually something "real" to worry about!

However, I did not know that about the immune system,so now I will need to look into that. I need to see how long ago that it was she had it, but I think it was over a year ago,and she has been healthy ever since (so hope that makes you worry just a little less).Jan Khttp://www.wagnwoofpets.comnoreply@blogger.com
