How long can a cat with amitraz poisoning live?
Amitraz poisoning in cats usually recovers in about 3 days depending on severity; mild cases treated promptly recover fast, but severe cases can die quickly. Go to a vet at once to avoid missing the window.
How long does it take for a dog to die from amitraz poisoning?
Amitraz poisoning does not necessarily kill a dog; with mild poisoning and timely treatment the dog can usually recover, but a large ingested dose can cause death within minutes. Symptoms include irregular heartbeat and agitation, and induction of vomiting should be done immediately. Amitraz is a broad-spectrum antiparasitic, so dosing must be strictly controlled during external deworming.

Medicated Baths for Dog Folliculitis: Which Product to Use
Mild folliculitis in dogs does not require a medicated bath, but when the affected area is large an antibacterial medicated bath is needed. The right product depends on the underlying cause — bacterial, fungal or parasitic — so a veterinary exam, often a skin scraping, should guide the choice.
My 45kg Alaskan Malamute, almost 3, recently in heat and got demodicosis; ears are dirty and itchy after cleaning. A chewable worked then relapsed and worsened; eyes/mouth/feet have purulent crusts. Heard doramectin helps but unsure if safe for long-haired dogs and timing with the chewable.
Confirmed demodicosis is treated orally, by injection, or medicated baths. After relapse, a second deworming plus ivermectin injection is an option; dose by vet to avoid toxicity. Alaskans are NOT collie-type, so ivermectin is safe. Medicated baths and vitamins help; clean the environment.
