Thanks!!!
PS - I DID THE VET THING AND HE IS STILL HAVING PROBS...ERRRRRRR.
I have the Ivermectin...we dont have to go back to the vet,
I was thinking of maybe a DIFFERENT course of treatment possibly....

Yup, vet. Most of the time it takes multiple treatments of high dose ivermectin or other drug to cure. Make sure the treatment continues well past resolution of signs or else the mites may just spring back.

i know what you're going thru, it's troublesome
had pup who struggled with this
it took quite some time to irradicate all the mites
it was several courses of meds and several trips to vet
follow vets instructions carefully! keep pups bedding very clean! my pup had a weakened immune system and other medical issues that made it harder for her to overcome this...seems if your pup is healthy and you follow thru you'll be all set...best wishes...

need to go back to the vet, sometimes it takes more than one treatment. and actually, if they did what i think theyve done, its 2 injections of ivermectin. sometimes they need more. see your vet.
