CS doesn't build up the immune system, so far as I understand what it is
and what it does. It kills bacteria, viruses, fungi. Reducing the
"bacterial load" can help a lot when the immune system is compromised.
I thought you said the puppy was getting an antibiotic, not ivermectin.
Ivermectin is an anti-parasitic, according to
http://www.marvistavet.com/html/body_demodectic_mange.html
My understanding is that yes, mites are a normal presence in many
species, immune compromise and/or stress can allow the mites to
"overgrow" which is when they become a problem.
But I've never heard that demodex is caused by the immune system
attacking the mites.

Demedex is a mite. All dogs have mites. When a pup or dog gets
stressed or has a weakened immune system, the immune system starts
attacking the normal skin mites. That is a brief break down of
Demedex. He is on Ivermectin for it, and it has cleared up
dramatically. I was interested in CS for building up his immune system
along with using echinachea and acidophilous (sp?) A friend told me
about CS's ability to help build the immune system, get rid of colds,
etc.
I want to thank everyone who has been so kind in giving me loads of
information on CS. I really appreciate it. Thanks
