long story short.. I have had a puppy who is almost 4 months old... we have had for about 4 weeks. We just found out 2 weeks ago she has sarcoptic mange. Took her to vet; gave us medicine and special shampoo lotion. Well I went back to vet today after 2 weeks and he wouldnt even do another skin scrape. He said he wouldnt do it because if it was a "negative" result it could very well be a false negative. My poor puppy is in her crate, per vet this is very contagious and wants her quarantined.... now they tell me I need to wait another 2 WEEKS until they will do second skin scrape and to keep her in quarantine until then. This is driving me nuts!!!!!! I do have a daughter at home, so I dont want to go against vet's wishes. I guess my question is, she isnt even itching anymore, no scabs, nothing... no clinical signs... she has had 3 doses out of the 4 that they prescribed. Do you think I should take her to another vet or is this one being pretty on the nose as far as treatment. They are very precautious obviously there
Do you think I should get rid of her?
