Mange Treatment

Archive for the ‘Mange Cats’ Category

I have 2 kittens and a full grown female. They have hair loss on their body, head and paws. It’s not really that bad, sometimes you cant even tell some hair is missing. They do scratch themselves but not to much. On the adult her hair comes right off and leaves hair everywhere. but other then the hair loss the cats look fine and healthy
Does it sound like mange or possibly ring worms?
I’m thinking about using Lyme Dip. Would that help?

DO NOT use lyme dip on a kitten!!! Do NOT use any over the counter lyme dip on any cat EVER. What you describe could be any number of things and needs to be evaluated by a licensed veterinarian. Call your vet!

I dont know yet if she has it, but I think she does. I’m taking her to the vet tomorrow and if she has it can I be tested for it too? I heard it can be passed on to humans and she basically sleeps on my face every night.

Yes, it is possible but rare. Mange is an irritation of the skin, primarily resulting in hair loss and sometimes including itching and inflammation, all of which are caused by microscopic mites. Mange is most commonly found in dogs and other canines, but it can occur in other domestic and wild animals, and occasionally in humans.

Many times what looks like mange on an animal turns out to be an allergic or bacterial problem.

Good Luck.

The hair will fall out over an area and the skin may or may not look red. It’s tiny mites under the skin that cause it, and it’s treatable. One of our guys had that happen and we used the cream the vet gave us to help it heal up.

Sometimes it gets a crusty scab on it if the cat keeps licking at the area, making the skin raw there, it can itch them enough that they don’t want to stop cleaning it.

If the mange isn’t treated it could spread, so being proactive and taking care of it soon as you get it identified is the best way to go. It’s definately treatable.

We’ve been feeding a mangy stray and I don’t want it to infect my dog or child (I’ve read it can spread from the cat). I know that the medicine used to treat cat mange, Ivermectin, is the same medicine used in HeartGard which is used to treat heartworms in dogs. So can I just give this medicine to the kitty? Any advice is appreciated.

DO NOT give dog Heartgard to a cat. Ivermectin needs to be injected to treat mange. You can also do sulphur dips. Talk to a vet.

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.

NO!!!!!!!! I am sure you will get all kinds of great ones on here!!! From dumping Ivermectin on it to the "motor oil" treatment.
GO TO THE VET, or take the cat to a shelter so it can be treated or euthanized. Now is not the time to be cheap!!!!!!

after it has come in contact with another animal that had the mange

Mange is fairly unusual in cats. It takes about 12 to 14 days to show up. I would wash the cat in a shampoo such as Sebolux Shampoo as a preventative measure available at www.revivalanimal.com. Also, Revolution topical flea treatment treats and prevents mange mites as well. I believe that you still have to buy that from your vet.
