pups losing hair my be mange!!

Jack,
I have used P/L many many times. Almost 15 years ago on my own bulldogs. At a dip clinic I volunteered at several times. Any time I acquired fleas from other dogmen (I've never had flea or tick issues on my yard) And at the veterinary clinic I worked in.
Never have I worn goggles, gloves or a full body suit. Not one of my dogs, nor anyone else's dogs, or cats have EVER become ill after being dipped in P/L.
Some of those dogs came in 2x a month at the vet clinic.

Translation: You violate all of the instructions, but you have never paid the price yet.

But that still doesn't make it good advice.

Jack,
So just because you don't advocate the use of P/L, does not mean it isn't a good product.

I never said it wasn't a good product at what it does; I said it is a noxious chemical, and it is.

I said getting their feed and quarters in order was step #1.

Jack,
You are a very smart fella, you have put out lots of great info.

Thank you. And yes I have.

Jack,
But you are not the expert in everything, not by a longshot.

I have never claimed to be an expert at "everything," but I *am* an expert on virtually all aspects regarding the subject of dogs

And I have bred more dogs, dealt with more issues on the subject of dogs, experimented with probably more diets (and drug products) than 99.9999999999% of anyone alive who's still feeding dogs.

So you might want to pay a little more attention to what I am saying on "this subject"

Jack,
I'm actually very easy to talk to, should you change your mind on that call.

LMAO, and so am I, should you actually PM your number to me

Jack,
P.S.
I still dip my field cat, as she gets into the woods regularly, and I hate always applying that noxious chemical (Frontline) on her back every month. So on the off months, it's a dip if I see a tick!

Again, you're babbling about something (Frontline) that has nothing to do with this issue: demodectic mange and its cause/cure.

The cause is weakened immune system, which could be genetic, but could also be nutritional/environmental.

My suggestion is the best: correct the nutritional/environmental aspect FIRST ... and decide later if drugs are even necessary.

Your suggestion (no consideration of nutrition/environment), and just use a drug, is non-advice. Your defense of your position, saying Prolate is no more dangerous than dishwashing liquid, was absurd.

There really is nothing to debate ... or talk about further.

Have a good night

Jack
