Treatment for mange?!?!?!?

I think my puppy might have mange. Can people get it from dogs because I’m itching now.
And also, my son had chicken pox and I got him some oatmeal bath stuff that got rid of it. Do you think that would help my dog too?
I’m taking him to the vet tomorrow, but I need some advice for now.

Oatmeal shampoo does help with itching in a dog. I have a dog that is allergic to fleas and it helps him. So if you have the oatmeal shampoo it will not hurt to try it. I know how painful it can be to watch them itch so badly and not know what to do. I hope the shampoo gives him some relief. Good Luck.

need help about maybe my cat getting mange!!?

okay i just rescued a dog from a animal shelter friday. i gave her a bath the next mourning since it was late when we got home and then today i noticed she had red bumps and scabs all over her belly so i took her to a vet. he gave her a shot for itching and some pills for 2 weeks for allergys and i said so this isnt mange that maybe my cat can get??? and then he didnt say anything for a while then finally said he could take a skin craping but its hard to find mange in a skin scraping so then he left the room and came back and said she did look like she had mange (after he gave me the pills and powder for skin and deworming) and said that if it doesnt clear up in a few days to come back so i said lets just treat her for mange now which he said was $35 dipping and he refused!!! he just wants another examination fee. anyways my cat has FIV i love him with everything i have and i am freaking out that if he gets it he might die because when you have something like FIV or HIV the smallest thing can take your life right!?!?! what should i do give my cat a bath incase of? my washing machine just broke today so all of the stuff the dog has touched is sitting there and i caught my cat laying on it im balling here please dont be negative just to be, but someone please tell me the truth on what i should do so my cat doesnt get it. i now i know i shouldnt have gotten a dog but i thought i was saving her life and i cant just go shove her back in the hole she came from but i am keeping her isolated from my cat. i read on a site cats cant get it from a dog unless its touching it frequntly but my cat is a big baby and last night curled up on the couch with me and the new dog and im so scared. i’ve done so good keeping my cat healthy for so long with this fiv and now this. im so scared. he litterly is my child. what should i do for him to stop it now!?!? btw right before i left the vets boxer(dog) came out and was sniffing my dog and the vet grabbed him by the collar and locked him in a room away from my dog, like hello he even thinks she has mange but wont treat her for it?!?! wtf!!!!! does he not understand i dont want my cats to get it i told him like 5 times and felt like an idiot. he was so unfriendly too and just picked my dog up under her arm and carried her with one of his arms while she wiggled.

i don;t have an answer but i just want to say sorry i feel sad for you, i have a cat and i love her to death so i can how you would feel.

Demodectic Mange questions?

I have a Bull Terrier pup that got diagnosed with Demodectic Mange.And I’m wondering how long it takes before he gets rid of this problem, I asked the vet and didn’t really get a straight answer. And just curious anyone else have a dog with this problem.
And another question He is being treated with a medicated shampoo and being dipped twice a month with Mitaban and the vet stressed over and over to make sure I wear gloves when I dipped him,So if it is harmful to me wouldn’t it be just as harmful to my puppy?

My puppy is going through the dips at the vet’s office (they have a groomer there who we drop the puppy off, pick him up at night). He’s so far had 3 dips and is looking MUCH better, but when we go to the vet again on Saturday, I wouldn’t be surprised if he needs one more (she estimated that it would be 2-4 dips in total). As my vet said, they do one more past resolution. However, after just the first two dips (accidentally done two weeks in a row when they should have been every other week), his fur started coming back and he looks more like a happy puppy than a “mangy mutt”.

Also, from the way I understood it, the Mitaban isn’t harmful, but it can give your dog side effects (our puppy tends to be much more subdued and has runny stool for a day or two after the dip). My boyfriend and I cuddle and pet him as much as usual with no problems, but as a precaution we DO keep him separate from our other puppy for the night.

Who do I call and is this Mange?

My cousin has three cats. I’ve only see one of them and its pretty rough looking. The cats is very skinny and it has a patch of fur missing near its tail and the fur that’s left is horrible looking. It seemed like it had what looked like dandruff. I wanna know if this is mange. I also am planning on calling animal control to see if they can take the cats but i’m not sure if I they can help. Is there anyone else I can call and whats the spca number for indiana.

Just google no-kill shelters and enter the name of your city, county, or region. Call someone local who does not euthanize. This could be mange or it could be any number of other things. Only a vet or an expert would be able to tell. Malnutrition can cause fur loss, too. Try to call someplace that won’t just look at them and put them down. But do let them know that this is an animal cruelty situation, because anyone who lets their animals run around malnourished and ill is not a responsible owner, and the animals deserve a chance at a loving, forever home.

Scabies type mange on dogs?

I’ve taken my dog to the vet numerous times because he keeps itching alot and getting a red rash. Vet confirmed it was scabies mange. He’s prescibed medicine for him 4 times each time its a 3 month supply and it doesnt get rid of it. Vet tells me each time it should get rid of it. I’m tired of spending a hundred dollars on medicine thats not working. Any suggestions? A friend said to try giving him a bath in oatmeal to calm the itching to see if it goes away.
I’m currently usting revolution on him.

is there a home treatment for mange?

One of mine once had what I thought was mange.

I trimmed the fur short in the affected area, shampooed with Sulfadene shampoo, and treated with cortisone 10% ointment. It started to heal and stop weeping after a few days, so I didn’t have to take her to the vet.
You can try this, but if your dog doesn’t start to look better in 2-3 days, go to the vet. -!-
