The evidence in favor of breast milk is overwhelming: Babies who breast - feed exclusively for six
months have stronger immune systems and fewer allergies, and the American Academy of Pediatrics reports that U.S. post-neonatal infant mortality rates drop by 21 percent.
Because the dog's
immune system does not fully mature until 12 - 18
months of age, a puppy with demodectic mange that
has not
had it's
immune system kept in good,
strong condition due to poor nutrition, vaccinations, being weaned too soon, etc., may
have relapses until the
immune system is mature.
