i've called the pet stores around here and they act like they don't have a clue. there is a feed store that i called that said they had something to treat it. i'm gonna check it out tonight. what sucks even worse than poor jakson getting it, is that he gave it to me and my fiance. we're currently using this permethrin ointment to get rid of it. but if we don't get rid of it on Jakson, it's probably not going to be of much use. he's a beautiful little pit puppy, but if we don't get this fixed soon, he's going to be a hairless puppy. btw, that's Jakson in my avatar picture.
