How safe is to use neem oil to cure demodectic mange?
Holistic/alternative vets recommend it. It is used for gardening though, so I’m a bit concerned about using it on my dog. Looking for a second opinion. Thanks!
I don’t know about using it for mange, but neem oil mixed with water makes a good but stinky mosquito repellant for dogs. I have never had trouble using it on my dogs.

How much would treatment of mange cost?
It is a boxer/bulldog mix, not my dog, but the mange has obviously spread, and along with the mange he has fleas…
How much would flea treatment and mange treatment(thorough) cost roughly?
the boxer is around 6 months old/average weight
You are talking office call, skin scraping to determine the type of mange (demodex), antibiotics, antifugal, medicated shampoo and treatment (ivermectic or mitiban drips).
In our area, a reason first office expense would be 150-200 dollars. A follow visit in 30 days with another skin scraping and some refills should be about 1/2-2/3rds of the first office call.
We treat demodex/mange in rescue on a regular basis.. time of treatment is 30-60 days, depending on how bad it is and spread. Total costs, 300-500

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

Can cats catch the mange? If so how can I make her better?
I noticed a few months ago that she had missing hair under her tail, but since she is an outside cat I thought nothing of it, maybe she got caught in something. Today I noticed she has lost hair inside her legs also.
I have 3 other cats and a dog, do I have to treat them all? She is pretty isolated from them.
Mange it NOT something to mess around with.
You absolutely must take her to the vet and get her checked.

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!”
