G&M Great Danes Melissa Shively Was sold a puppy with apparent mange. Hanover, Pennsylvania
I too was sold a sick puppy from G&M Great Danes..My son went to pick up our puppy(dozer) and the puppy had some pimples on top of his head and when he questioned it,the breeder said it was nothing to be concerned with and it should go away in a few days...needless to say we have been batteling mange since we got him..He now sees a dermatologist for this ,and lucky for me(if you want to call it luck?)I found two places to buy his VERY EXPENSIVE medicine at a fraction of the cost of what my vet was charging..I paid $1200.00 for the pup,and have spent more than that on his medical bills since we got himBoth of my vets have said that the breeders should NOT be breeding the dogs anylonger since it most certainly a genetic thing...My son was told mange is NOT covered,but if these people are as reputable as they came off being,then they should have been able to spot this as what it was and stand behind their products(the pups)I feel we were knowingly sold sick pups...Owners of Dozer,the 103 lb couch potato.

Poor Dozer, our pup Bruce underwent surgery this past Tuesday, to find out if there is anything autoimmune going on along with mange. Melissa is sneaky, becareful with her. I can't believe she bascially took our money and ran for cover. So far no papers have been received yet either. I think I remember your son picking up Dozer. Did he have a girlfriend who was afraid of big dogs? LOL!

So with yours and the other three (including mine) that's four of that litter that have mange. It's not something a breeder can control - it's not from neglect or anything like that - it's a genetic issue but my vet agrees, the mom at least shouldn't be bred again. The breeder did contact me and offer to replace the puppy - which by then I did not want. But that's what she is supposed to do. A couple of us are in touch with each other via email - sharing pictures, etc. If you want to join in - put in your email address. You can't put it in without spaces or with the "at" symbol, because the site blocks that. Good luck and I do hope that you are able to find something to help your poor dog. Have you tried Promeris? Ivermectin? My girl was on Promeris and it didn't work, she's now starting the Ivermectin. Let's hope....
