Instructions
Remove Promeris applicator from foil pouch. After holding upright for a few seconds to avoid spills, bend the tip of the applicator back toward user so that applicator snaps open along perforation, being careful not to squeeze. Then, fold tip back and hold in place with finger. Do not touch medication.
Apply Promeris between your dog's shoulder blades. Part your dog's hair so that the opening of applicator rests directly against skin, then gently squeeze entire contents onto skin in that same spot. Ensure the medication is applied high enough on the back so your dog can't lick the spot.
Wash hands thoroughly after applying.
Allow Promeris to dry before your dog gets wet or you touch your dog in that spot.
Wait at least one month to reapply.
How to Treat Demodectic Mange on Dogs with Promeris
Demodex mites usually live on dogs without producing any ill effects. However, in young puppies with developing immune systems, or in older dogs with weak immune systems, the mites can lead to a condition called demodectic mange. Demodectic mange starts out locally, but can spread to large areas of the body. Symptoms include hair loss and irritated and oily skin, often with crusty sores. Promeris is a medication approved to treat dogs with this condition, and is available only from a licensed veterinary professional.
