mange mites pitbulls; pitbulld pup mange;

Question
Hello, I am really glad I found some place where i can ask
for advice.. I have four pitbull one is 10mths, second is
9mths, and the last two are 5mths, they are brother and
sister... I used to live in the city, but i recently moved
to the country, you know, lots of land and woods.. Ive
raised all of them since they were born.. They are fed
beneful ever since they can eat dry food.. They all have
there shots utd, rabies and everything.. Now the problem im
having with them is that they are starting to lose there
hair, I mean drasticley.. My 9 months has patches all over,,
and one of my 5 month has a patch on his back.. Now, I
started the flea and tick treatment to see if that was the
problem.. I would like to know what other treatment is
available to give to all of them.. Should i keep them all
seperate.. Thanx for all your help...

Answer
Diagnosis of Mange mites:  if the vet will treat for Mange please let me know because I can help with Supplements and oils..
The meds from your vet are much needed but they do HURT the immune system ...
VERY harsh on your pet... So, let me help with supplements.
You can always give me UP-dates at my private e-mail :

Hi Eddie -  Well, I wonder if the 9 month old started with the Mange / mange mites???  If so, then that is what is going on with the 5 month old, too.
I would love to help you but if it is Mange you will need to see the vet.
Take just one of them to the vet - have him tested for mange mites.
They can take a skin scrape of the areas...

I wish you the BEST - I hope it is just allergies but with 2 dogs having this problem it leads me to believe Mange.

Keep me posted..
