| My Chivas had parvo for 10 days, got better and then developed demodex, which is not unusual after a serious illness. I dipped her in Mitaban every 2 weeks for 6 weeks and she completely recovered.
All dogs have the mite on their bodies and some actually aquire demodex after a serious illness like parvo but it can also pop up w/o any preceding illness. Your dog's immune system is probably a bit weak, you may want to look into supplements (like vitamin c) to help strengthen it since you know it is compromised.
It can be cured and your dog should have no long lasting effects, but keep on top of it, it can spread all over the body and then is MUCH harder to cure.
Good luck! :)
