Anybody got an answer for demodectic mange on my gorgeous siberian Husky, already tried amitraz, no luck.?
His demodectic mite count was high, and the condition seems to come and go. The dip was not really effective, and being so toxic, I’m looking for another route to go.
Ivermectin works pretty good. As with Demodectic mange sometimes it can be brought on with a stress situation, a change in diet, and or a hormonal flux. I have a dog in foster with diagnosed Demodectic Mange currently that will look like shes totally healed, and be great, then something goes on that’s a little out of ordinary and POOF shes got a bald spot again. Usually starting in the chest or belly. Amitraz wasn’t working, I tried Iodine, and Ivermectin based products.
Have you had her thyroid checked? My foster was also recently diagnosed with a malfunctioning thyroid and it is also a cause of hair loss.
My Pomeranian has sarcoptic mange from breeders!?
I took my 8 week old pom to the vet cause she was scratching and losing hair, and found out she has sarcoptic mange. I showed the vet a rash I have developed since I have had her and he said I have it to, that it is very contagious to humans. I went to my doc and got cream, and the pup and my other dog are being treated now. The pup is miserable and in a playpen in my room, with her bed and food and water and I clean the playpen 2x day and change her piddle pad, but she wants so bad for me to hold her! She cried constantly for attention. I don’t want to pick her up for a week, until her next treatment, when the vet said she should no longer be contagious. Can anyone recommed something to soothe her, while she is in "isolation"? I do go in and talk to her but limit my time in the room with her, becuase I am afraid of being re-infected! (i have held her for a couple of min and then put my clothes in washer and take a shower, but only hold her for a couple of mins.) Thanks!
Thanks so much to the first two reponders, your answers were very heartfelt and sincerely appreciated!
I think this is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever seen on this site. You have my sympathy now, seriously. Your breeder should be shot and then eaten by rabid wolverines for being so irresponsible.
This is such a tough situation for both of you. You can perhaps try to put an article of clothing with your scent on it, but nothing’s really going to be a substitute for your arms or physical presence. You can also try a loudly ticking clock or a radio so she doesn’t feel quite so alone.
Will pray for you and your puppy to get better very soon. Good luck.

Does Tea Tree oil treat mange in dogs?
I have a two year old yellow lab/shar pei mix with what I think is mange. I have another dog that had mange when I got him as a pup. The treatment was $80 a pop. He had to have six treatments before it went away. I was told that Tea Tree oil concentrate would clear up mange. Can anyone confirm this?
No mange must be treated by a dip, take it the humane society if you can’t afford to pay a vet. Tea tree oil will only hurt or kill the dog if you put to much on him and the Human Society will be thankful that you did something to help it. I’ve heard of dogs being burned by oil, gas, and tea tree oil will burn the dog as well. They will dip him and explain to you how to make sure it never comes back you will have to wash all of his things, crate, pillow, toys etc. I can’t imagine the discomfort he must be feeling right now totally itchy, itchy itchy. Please help him the right way. Gook luck. Mange is a tough little mite that has to be gotton rid off correctly.
Are there any natural remedies to give or apply on my dog to control mange and skin mites?
We have gone through the “dip ” process, and its so messy, toxic, and expensive.It went away for some months , but it looks like it’s returning. Need help on a mange treatment.
this is something you need to talk to your vet about there is more than one way to treat it. I am for natural as a mange treatment when it can be done but this is something that I wouldn’t experiment with.
There are two types of mange and you need the right mange treatment.
Are there any immunity boosters for a puppy with demodectic mange?
I have a puppy who has mange so bad that her face looks like a Halloween mask. We are using the mite dip but it pains me to look at her. I am surprised that the veterinary world has not come up with a vaccine for mange or an effective mange treatment.
Demodex in pups usually clears up on its own even without a mange treatment. His own immune system will catch up and learn to deal with it. You worry about demodex when it strikes an adult because that’s very rare, but it’s fairly common for puppies. All dogs have demodex mites, but not all have full immunity from birth. Pups also experience some immunity gaps when they are weaned and receive their first two sets of shots which challenge their systems to get them producing antibodies. Your pup already has the mites (they all do) so a vaccine wouldn’t do anything but make things worse.
Vaccines don’t work by giving the dog protection directly, but by challenging the dog’s own immune system to force it to produce antibodies of its own. Your pup’s system is already being challenged and is already learning to fight back.
Two of my dogs had minor breakouts as puppies. For those two, it was all over in a couple of weeks, the fur was back, and there was no lasting sign it had ever happened. If it’s more than on the eye lids and lips, then you do need to visit the vet, or if it lasts more than a couple of weeks.
I just use PetsBestRx as a mange treatment and it has always turned out fine for me.

Thank You in advance.
Ivomec. Can buy it at a farm supply store. Also treats and prevents heart worms.
Can cats get the mange?
my outside cat just had baby and they look like they have the mange how do you care for it
instead of trying home remedies and internet solutions to cure mange, take your cats to a vet. the fact your queen cat is nursing, and the tender age of the baby kitten, makes home remedies all the more risky and dangerous for your pets.
How do dogs get Red Mange?
My dog Duke got Red Mange when he was little and the vet gave me cream to put on it and soon enough it went away?

He doesn’t have Red Mange now I’m just asking!
Red mange isn’t contagious! The other kind of Mange is though!
Like any other disease.. U have to be exposed to it..

I have known a dog to die from it and malnutrition

It can be treated by the vet.. they do a skin scraping and test the scraping.. Have a glorious day
