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
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 (red) mange. Can someone tell me what this means, treatment wise and long term?
I would prefer to hear from first hand experiences, not internet reseach. I have read a lot in the last hour about it already.
If it is generalized mange (all over) it’s likely this will be a long struggle. All dogs (and people too) have some demodex mites living in their hair follicles. The fact that your dog is reacting to them indicates an immune system weakness. The mites will always be there, because they are normally there. Your dog will not stop reacting to them, but you can sooth his skin and get rid of some of the pain and itchiness, as well as the majority of the mites.
One commonly used treatment is Lyme dips. The dip is a bucket of foul-smelling solution that you would soak a rag in, and then squeeze it out over the dog. It’s like a gentle shower with this chemical concoction. It shouldn’t be painful, but it can take some time and patience. It’s important to get in-between the toes and in the armpits and leg pits, as these areas are particularly succeptible to demodex.
Then the doggy should be patted dry a bit (so he or she isn’t dripping all over) and then air dry.
It may take several weeks of this routine (a dip once a week), but the swelling and redness will go down, and the dog will become more comfortable.
Long-term, living in a clean environment, with regularly-laundered blankets to lay on or no blankets at all, will keep the mites away. When your dog comes inside, their feet should be wiped off, so there is less moisture between the toes. This should help keep the irritation down.
Anti-inflammatory drugs may be beneficial as well.
It’s also important to care for your dog’s general health, because of the immune weakness that the mange implies. Make sure to keep up to date on vaccinations, and use a tick and flea preventative.
I’m sure your vet can help you more, and help you decide on a treatment plan for your dog.
Best of luck to both of you!
Need some advice on fighting Demodectic Mange?
I adopted a rescue puppy and she’s about 5 months old now. The poor creature is suffering from a mange breakout. Does anyone have any advice on curing this itchy and unsightly condition?
the vet should give you mitaban dip which you should do regularly. also,please get her spayed if she is not because it is a genetic thing.be prepared to spend alot of money on vet bills.thank you for taking in a special needs pet. good luck!
Are there pills for mange?
A while back we took in a stray puppy and found it a good home. The puppy was with us for about 3 weeks, and we found out at the vet that she had mange. We treated her and my 2 dogs and found her a good home. Now, I am STILL battling the mange on my dogs. We have been dipping them once a week in a lime sulfur solution the vet prescribed. It smells horrible, and worse, it doesn’t seem to be working. It helps for a while, but soon they’re itching again. One of the dogs, Harry, is a St. Bernard mix, and I think part of the problem is that we were having a hard time penetrating his coat, so we clipped him. Now I just have an itching, scratching, hairless St. Bernard.
I’m worn out with this. My dogs are miserable, my house stinks, Harry is humiliated and bald, and I’m sick of going through this process every week. Is there an easier way to handle the mange? I’m going back to the vet again this week, and I’m wondering if there IS an easier way to handle it, why he didn’t mention it in the first place. He tries to start with the least expensive treatment, so that may be why, but at this point I would pay more to have this over with!
What kind of mange is it? For both sarcoptes and demodex, a product called ivermectin can be used. It isn’t a pill but a liquid. Ivermectin must be carefully used in any herding breed like collies, shelties, aussies, etc. or neurological problems can result. Lime-sulfur really doesn’t have any insecticidal properties although it works well for secondary bacterial and fungal diseases. Mites are killed by using an insecticidal product. Anymore most vets use an ivermectin product unless it’s a collie, sheltie, aussie, etc. So talk to your vet.

our new puppy has saracoptic mange-he has been dipped once with paramite dip-should we use revolution instead?
we cannot bring him home because we have other dogs…will revolution make him not contagious in 24 hours?
Revoluation is not for mange. Its for heartworm and fleas
The Transformation of Crusty Malone – Episode 3
OK, so here we are 6 weeks after we started treating Crusty. He IS growing hair, but still has some way to go before he’s out of the woods. You can see how long a process it is to treat dog mange! I think I messed up by trying to do this with less ivermectin. I should have done 1 dose every 2 weeks, three times. We probably would have been further along. He’ll get his third ivermectin dose tomorrow, as he has new crusty lesions on his head and today I detected tape worms (yuck). He continues to get sulpur homeopathic drops daily, plus the mange dip once a week. It is possible, apparently, to treat this condition without the use of toxic agents like ivermectin, but it can take a very long time (up to 6 months), which is not an option for me; plus also for that he needs twice daily remedies and because he’s a street dog with a large territory we can never find him twice per day. Hence we have opted for the allopathic route.
