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.
Why do dogs get calcium deficiency after giving birth?
Postpartum deficiency comes from low dietary calcium/vitamin D, fetal bone growth draining the mother during pregnancy, and large calcium loss into milk during nursing beyond compensation, raising muscle excitability and whole-body spasms. Supplement calcium before birth.

Why can’t dogs eat egg white?
Dogs should not eat egg white because it contains avidin, which destroys vitamin H (biotin) in the body and causes abnormalities harmful to growth and health. Egg white is also hard to digest and can upset the stomach, so avoid too much; some egg yolk is fine and good for coat and health.
A Teddy has blackened, weeping, flaky skin — is it contagious and how should it be treated? Will it spread to my other two dogs?
Widespread black, thickened, rough, flaky skin with hair loss suggests black acanthosis, a syndrome from many causes such as demodex, seborrhea, endocrine disorder, or vitamin A deficiency. Contagion cannot be ruled out, so strictly isolate and disinfect the dog. A stray with these signs often has a serious condition needing veterinary diagnosis.
What medicine treats soft-bone disease in dogs?
Mainly from calcium deficiency—supplement calcium via tablets, vitamin D, and foods like fish meal, fish broth, goat's milk, plus sunlight. Severe cases need joint supplements and NSAIDs for pain/stiffness.
