Hey John,
Eight is an unusual age to see this, if it's demodectic mange (the non-contagious more common variety). Maybe he had some steroids recently and his immune system was impaired?
Killing mites is one thing, but boosting immunity is usually even more at the heart of the issue. I have a protocol in my free ebook, Insider Immune Protocols on how to use transfer factors to get the immune system on high alert, full court press. Get it by joining the Vital Animal Pack.
In addition, feed him well. Stop the vaccines. Stop the poisons. And you'll go even faster with a vet homeopath on board (see the AVH list on this page).
Good luck and be patient. This can take months to turn around.
