My puppies had Bravecto for mange. Is lime sulfur dip safe yet?

Question

My puppies had a Bravecto tablet each 2 weeks ago for possible Demodectic mange but are currently showing no improvement at all. Can i now try using a Lime Sulfur dip? Will it be safe as they only had the Bravecto 2 weeks ago? Pet's info: Dog | Italian Greyhound | Female | unspayed | 3 months and 15 days old | 6 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The Bravecto will not get rid of the demodex that quickly. I tell clients it will likely take 4-8 weeks. The lyme sulfur dip works differently than the Bravecto. I would try to wait another 2 weeks as long as Evie's skin isn't getting worse. If by 4 weeks there is no improvement I would recheck with your Vet before starting a new product. I hope this helps and I wish Evie the best!
