UPDATE 9.28.05
Ubi had his second visit with Dr. Brian at Gateway Animal Clinic for his dermodex mange
Dr. Brian was very pleased with Ubi's progress and Ubi has improved so much we decided against doing a second dip treatment for his dermodex and have instead started him on once a week baths with a special shampoo to help his dermodex mange. Ubi gained 5 lbs and is getting taller
Ubi has learned the command, "sit" and has it down to a fine science and is almost 100% on his housebreaking
Ubi's cough is much improved also and Ubi is still on antibiotics for his skin and slight congestion
Look how great Ubi looks now that his dermodex is under control

UPDATE 11.15.05

Special Thanks to the ASPCA for their generous grant to help with the Katrina Dogs
UPDATE 2/7/06
Ubi was examined today by Dr. Bob because his foster mom reported he's been scratching a lot
and has presented with a few very minor bald spots so we were concerned it may have been a reoccurance of the demodex
After a skin scraping was performed it was determined that demodex was not the problem but Ubi
actually was suffering from a yeast infection most likely the result of a food allergy.
Ubi's diet is being changed to a salmon based food as Dr. Bob believes the yeast infection was due to an allergy
to beef or chicken based dog food allergies
Ubi is on two medications to clear up his yeast infection and weighed in at 50 lbs today at his Vet Exam
Ubi was very happy and excited to meet Squeak today at the Vet's office and was quite facinated with Squeaks energy levels:)
