EHS Mange puppy Reeves up for adoption.wmv

Does neem oil work for dogs with mange?
I have a 2 year old Maltese with a mild case of mange. I read several places that neem oil helps with the symptoms does anyone know if health food stores,drugstores, or petstores carry the product? And does this product work,for a small dog with mange, if not what does?
The thing is, mange is a generic term for many skin problems. You need to find out EXACTLY what it is. Treating it randomly can do more harm than good.
Neem oil is more for getting rid of parasites. I haven’t had any luck with it, but I know people who swear by it.
Could this be demodectic Mange??
Hi,
I have a 4 year old Boxer who has broke out in red rashes/spots on his feet, the front of his legs, under his chin on his neck, and around his ear. He has broken out like this before, usually in the summer, but never this bad. He has no hair on the places and they are raw and scabby.
The veterinarian that we have been seeing for about two years now says that it is not demodectic mange. He has told us that the ones on his feet and neck are hot spots and the one around his ear was a bacteria infection that leaked out from his ear. But it seems like no matter what medication we put on the places, they continue to get worse, never better.
When Teej (the boxer) was around six months old, our old veterinarian told us that he had demodectic mange. She diagnosed this from a skin scraping she took and gave us the lyme dip, an oatmeal shampoo, and some other medication. She even showed me the small mange mites on the microscope (I worked for her at the time). And with the medication she gave him, the small spots that he had on his muzzle then seemed to clear up.
I am confused. Our new vet seems to think that once we treated the demodectic mange mites when he was a puppy, that they would never return. But from all the research I have done, I’m starting to think he could be wrong….
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what these spots could be? Or any suggestions for them that we could try at home?? I have spent a lot of money on vet bills trying to get rid of them and nothing seems to be working.
Please help!!!
Dont doubt yourself you saw it the first time, is it the same as before? if so just go to another vet or convince yours to do a scrape

For all you foodies . . . LAOS FOOD – Luang Prabang, Laos
A TripAdvisor™ TripWow video of a travel blog to Louang Phabang , Lao Peoples Dem Rep by TravelPod blogger Gocarygo.

for all you foodies . . . LAOS FOOD
Laos food is interesting. . . is it like Thai? Is it similar to Burmese or Chinese? What is it, you ask? Well, we had a sampling; some of it is quite good, and some, I can gladly leave in Laos for the Laos people to enjoy.
As far as foreign influence, the French have left a nice baguette-shaped footprint firmly into the Laos country. Everywhere you look, there are baguettes. Some baguettes are better than others, but in Louang Phabang, there are many bakeries that are quite French and are therefore, tres bon. We ate at Le Banneton and thoroughly enjoyed the veggie tartine; it was like an eggplant, cheese, and tomato pizza on a croissant. Decadent! Chris gobbled up his roll, made with fruits and nuts baked inside. And their pain du chocolat (chocolate croissant) was perfect: buttery, flaky, slightly crispy with small dark chocolate morsels hidden inside. Other pastries included Asian fruits like dragon fruit, which is bright pink on the outside but has white flesh dotted with tiny black seeds. Not much flavor but it looks cool, and I love the way they fused the traditional French with the local fruit.
As far as traditional Laos food goes, there is a restaurant in Louang Phabang called Tamarind that is geared towards teaching foreigners about Laos food. So much of the following is from their menu/guidebook minus my personal commentary, of course. The first time we went, we chose 2 tasting plates. One was called the Dipping Platter and other was called Five Bites.
The Dipping Platter: these dips (or sauces) are called Jeow in Laos. The purpose of them is add flavor and spice to sticky rice. The Laos staple is sticky rice, which is a special kind of rice that sticks together (duh). It is also called ‘glutinous rice’ but according to Tamarind and Wikipedia, sticky rice is actually gluten-free. Just an interesting tidbit of information to wow your friends with. Anyway, the Laos take a chunk of the sticky rice, form it into an egg shape, and dip it into these jeows, or they use the rice to scoop up food, between their thumb and the rice clump. A piece of etiquette: it is perfectly ok to use either hand when making the rice clumps, but make sure you pack your clump tightly. Leaving any stray grains of rice left in a sauce from your dip is considered bad Laos manners.
Jeow Mak Len (the bright red one): is a tomato based and sweet. It tastes very Italian and would be super tasty over some pasta. Mange!
Jeow Pak Hom: (top right green one) is made with coriander, is supposed to have a “fresh” herb taste, but it’s pretty spicy, so honestly, that’s all I tasted.
Jeow Mak Keua: (bottom left green one) is a paste of smokey roasted eggplant, made on an open fire. It’s like a smokey babganoush. Wonderful.
Jeow Bong: (dark red, bottom left) is mainly made from garlic, but has buffalo skin to add “texture”. Eeek. It actually is my favorite of all the dips because it tastes like a mixture of hoisin sauce and the spicy red bean paste you get at Korean restaurants. Kind of sweet, kind of spicy. Yummers. We did have this jeow the next time we ate at Tamarind and it was much spicier with more buffalo skin in it–I prefer it more Westernized and mild. Call me Western.
Khai Pene: (the dark triangular spotted things) a local Loupang Phabang seaweed that grows in the Mekong River. It is also called river moss or Mekong weed. It is gathered from the river, pounded flat, and then set out to dry in sheets. It is seasoned with garlic, sesame seeds and dried tomato. It is usually eaten with the jeow bong (aka spicy red bean hoison paste). We also ate this at another restaurant that heated up the seaweed, which enhanced its crunch (and oil).
The Five Bites sampler:
Sai Oua: Louang Phabang sausage, made from pork, but it can also be made from buffalo. We tried to get the buffalo sausage at this other restaurant but they were out. The pork version is a dry, herby-spicy sausage. …

My dog has Demodectic Mange! How can I get rid of it?
What is Demodectic Mange?
Demodectic Mange is a skin disease caused by a mite called Demodex dog. The Demodex mite lives in dog hair follicles in the skin of the dog.
Demodectic Mange may occur in dogs of all ages. However, it is most common in puppies 3 months to one year of age.
When demodectic mange is diagnosed in older and more mature dogs that are likely to be a health problem underlying weakened immune system of the dog let the dog susceptible to demodectic mange.
What are the symptoms of demodectic mange in dogs?
There are two forms of demodectic Firm:
- Localized demodectic mange
- Generalized demodectic mange
Localized demodectic mange cause small circular areas of hair loss. There can be only one area or may have several bald patches on the skin of the dog. These areas of hair loss is usually itching, the dog with demodectic mange affected unless they have been infected by bacteria.
Generalized demodectic mange is a skin disease more common, often with lesions covering most of the body. Usually, a secondary bacterial infection is also present, resulting in a dog that is very itchy and uncomfortable. An infected dog with generalized demodectic mange may have a flow that contains blood or pus from infected skin areas. The skin layer is generally crisp, dry and full of scabs and crusts. It is also often a strong smell of the skin of these dogs.
“I’ve got a dog who is about 6 years old and my vet says she has mange! She gave us medicine and pills, and they don’t seem to be helping! Please help me!
It can take awhile to get rid of demodectic mange, because it’s caused by a mite that’s commonly on the dog’s skin anyway. It only turns into demodectic mange because of a weak immune system, or is inherited from the dog’s parents.
There are some things you can do to help: Use an anti itch shampoo or one with soothing oatmeal. Feed the dog a high quality pet store brand dog food, such as Nutro Natural Choice, or Wellness brand. It might help to add immune supporting supplements to the dog’s diet.
If you are not happy with the treatment supplied by your vet, there’s nothing wrong with seeking another vet’s opinion. When my dog had sarcoptic mange, the first vet’s treatment didn’t work, but the second vet’s treatment worked wonderfully.
Hope this helps!”
Mange Treatment In Dogs :
- After the pad is applied with a clean, warm and thoroughly wash the eye once again that the stye does not extend to other areas. Another basic method for treating a stye dogs is to use a wet finger. This can be uncomfortable for the dog, and dangerous because of the possibility of scratching the eye, but if done correctly, it will work.
- In severe cases, dogs may also have difficulty opening the eyes. There are several ways to treat eye infections in dogs, starting with cleaning the eyes with saline. If no improvement after a day or two, an ophthalmic ointment or drops are needed and a visit to the vet.
Dog Health Care Article: What To Do If Your Dog Has Skin Problems
Under all that copious fur there is skin. Skin that is susceptible to a myriad of diseases and afflictions just as we humans are. The difference being that in humans we can readily see a health problem. In a dog, skin health problems are not readily apparent until the dog gives us an indication. Usually, the indications are excessive licking and scratching. In general we humans tend to take our skin for granted. If we go out into the sun, we use sun screen. If we have dry skin, we use a lotion. And occasionally we notice irregularities and then we go to the doctor. We’re pretty complacent and tend to think of skin as the wrap that molds our body. With dogs, the skin goes beyond being a mold. It is an organ in itself. This organ regulates the heat in a dogs body and works in conjunction with the foot pads which allow the dog to perspire.
As with humans the skin communicates sensations such as pain, heat, cold, touch, etc. to the brain. An animals skin also processes vitamin D just as we do. When we take our pet to the veterinarian, one of the usual examinations done is one of the skin. When the veterinarian back brushes the fur he/she is not only looking for parasites such as fleas and mites, but they are also looking at the skin. Dry skin and fur can indicate illness. Yellow skin can indicate jaundice and blue skin can indicate heart problems. Rashes can mean allergies.
Dogs can have seasonal and environmental allergies as well as food allergies. Food allergies may not always be associated with new foods but can also come from foods they have eaten for years and have become sensitive to due to many reasons. So called “hot-spots”, for example may be a result of a dog no longer being able to digest a certain food. Your veterinarian will recommend ways to test your dogs diet and recommend a course of treatment. Many dogs such as spaniels have seasonal and environmental allergies which can manifest themselves not only with sneezing and watery eyes, but also with skin rashes.
Allergies to fleas and medicines can also cause skin rashes. There are now veterinarians who are specializing in animal allergies and dermatology. Should your veterinarian find it necessary a referral could be made for diagnosis and treatment.
There are also genetic skin disorders and glandular skin disorders. There are several diseases associated with ovarian and testicular problems. Diagnosis and treatment can be made by your veterinarian. Dogs are also susceptible to various types of skin fungus. They are highly contagious to humans and other animals. Mange is another skin disease that is contagious. Quick diagnosis and treatment is essential.
In addition to the previously mentioned skin problems, there are also seborreic (seborrhea) skin diseases, tumors, melanomas, infected sores, mites, etc., that can be diagnosed by your veterinarian.
The purpose of this article is to make owners aware that the care and regular examination of your dogs skin is essential. Before buying a dog, consult with the breeder and a veterinarian. Know the diseases which are specific to the breed you desire. Know your dogs body as you should know your own. Check for skin problems during regular grooming.
If you find an area of concern, consult your veterinarian immediately. Do not make a self diagnosis and start a course of treatment. Only a veterinarian can make a proper diagnosis and recommend oral and/or topical treatments. Delay in proper diagnosis and treatment can cause delay in recovery and possible spread of the ailment and unnecessary prolonged discomfort for your beloved pet.

Can mange get on cats?
Yes, it can. There are two types of mange caused by two different species of little creatures who love to live in an animal’s fur.
A vet can determine which species an animal has as they need to be treated differently. A vet can find out and precribe treatments to get rid of the mites.
