Good news for dogs with demodex and MDR1 mutation

*****
On today’s episode of Twin Trees Vet Talk, we welcome our very special guest, Dr. Vincent Defalque. Dr. Defalque is a Board Certified Veterinary Dermatologist in Vancouver, BC (Canada). We hear about a 6 month old Australian Shepherd puppy named Kenny that Dr. Defalque saw for a severe skin disease caused by demodex, a mite that lives in the hair follicle (this disease is often called demodectic mange or demodecosis). The classic treatment usually takes an average of 10 weeks with daily oral ivermectin, and the disease can be notoriously difficult to treat. Because ivermectin is not safe to use in all dogs (Australian shepherds, collies and several other breeds often have a genetic mutation that causes them to become very sick or even die if given ivermectin), Dr. Defalque used a new class of drugs called Isoxazolines off-label to help this puppy. And it worked!

We hope you enjoy this episode! Please leave your questions and comments below!
