Hi Jo,
Thank you very informative reply which has put everything in perspective namely that I will never get to the bottom of the actual cause of the AI Disease affecting my boys, it is just something they and I have to live with and manage as best we can.
Finn had a return of the Demodex just on his paws. We tried antibiotics because an infection showed and Neem Oil. Unfortunately he developed a liking for this and although it didn't do him any harm it didn't stay there long enough to be truly effective. So I've had to resort to soaking his feet in Aludex every 5 to 7 days. I finished one course but the vet found one mite so we're doing another round. The Neem Oil is brilliant at getting rid of (and preventing) harvest mites and keeping lots of bugs at bay.
Apart from this all is good so we're pressing on and I'm doing everything I can think off to help him and Loki get off the steroids. If anything else that can help comes your way I will love to hear about it.
Best wishes
Annie
