I was just contacted by a forever family (actually they were Foster Flunkies!!) saying that their puppymill girl was recently diagnosed with demodectic mange (demodex).
Here is a link from the Long Beach (California) Animal Hospital that discusses Demodex.

An excellent source for treatment is the B-Naturals.com website (www.b-naturals.com).
To begin addressing the demodectic mange skin condition:
- feed a raw diet,
- add to the diet the B-Natural’s supplements Berte’s Immune Blend, Berte’s Ultra Probiotic and fish oil. These will help even if you do not feed a raw diet.
A good article on skin issues:

I've asked the family to update us on their little sweetie, so we'll post that as we get it.
