thanks for the info.. I came home early and took Loki outside, he did his business, whew, finally!. I let him play around a bit and jog with me a bit, he's definitely worn out and fell to sleep in my arms. I'll get him in about an hour to play and eat dinner. Oh and yeah, we're getting him neutered

I was reading more on that page, and he does clearly mention some of your dog's symptoms as an adverse reaction to the dip (incoordination, lethergy, etc.) I don't know if anything can be done about it but I sure would keep a really close eye on him that it doesn't get worse...and don't use any

Has anyone had to deal with this? We look Loki into the vet yesterday and the vet looked over him, did a skin scrap and found the Demodex mites on him. She gave us some Mitaban dip to use. We did the first dip last night. The vet said that he may be sleepy and a little slower after the dip. Well L
