Daphne was rescued from our local animal shelter after she was removed from a home by animal control for failure to provide veterianry care.  She has demodectic mange and her previous owner was not getting treatment for her.  Demodex is not contagious but is caused by a compromised immune system and is passed on by the parents.  Treatment can sometimes be lengthly but she can be cured and her hair will grow back. Daphne is a super sweet little girl.  We are working on her crate training as it does not appear her previous owners did and she is doing better.
