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

Please help!! My cats have pretty bad mange. Need home remedy known to be safe & effective for cats! Thanks!?
Recently became aware that my cats itching was not b/c of fleas (tons of treatment) but from mange mites! I cannot afford a trip to the vet and am also weary of chemicals used to treat mites. I have found a number of mite remedies but all have been for dogs with no side notes indicating they are safe for cats. Please help if you have any information or experience.
Homeopathic Sulphur, either in drinking water or if the cat will take tablets, bath the affected area with warm water to ease the irritation
VETS CHOICE, a Long Awaited Non-Chemical Flea, Mosquito, Fly and Mange Control Solution Now Available without a Dr. Prescription
VETS CHOICE, a Long Awaited Non-Chemical Flea, Mosquito, Fly and Mange Control Solution Now Available without a Dr. Prescription
Woodlands, TX (PRWEB) April 10, 2007
“It is Cedar Oil Technology at its best.” It just keeps getting higher performance ratings every day. Because of government de-regulation, we can now make VETS CHOICE available to everyone. Enhanced next generation versions of our previous cedar oil based animal health concentrates are now available to global markets, states Dave Glassel, President of the Woodlands based CedarCide Industries, Inc.
It is no longer necessary to treat the family pet or livestock with chemical formulations such as drops and pesticide collars. For many years our formula has been the Veterinaries best kept secret. Our next generation improved formula exceeds the expectations of the current animal health industry and is now available for use without prescription by all consumer and professional animal caregivers. A doctor’s prescription is no longer needed for consumers to purchase “VETS CHOICE” concentrates.
The cedar oils contribution to the formula has been greatly enhanced by the internal modification of the cedar oil components. We have advanced the Animal Health Industry with the use of NANO Technology. The use of “VETS CHOICE” is the panacea for insect control and mange on animals. When applied by normal spray or dip methods, the solution penetrates the hair follicles which act as a wick and delivers the treatment into the hide of the animal harboring it in the epidermal layer of skin and avoiding entry to the animals bloodstream. The cedar oil component softens the skin and retains partially encapsulated cedar oil in the cell structure, acting as a time release agent. It slowly releases the cedar aroma which triggers the exodus of insects that plague animals world wide. Perpetual itching and scratching caused by predominantly dry skin on animals is eliminated.
Contrary to nervous system results recognized with the use of pyrethroid substances, treatment with “VETS CHOICE” has a calming effect on all animals including but not limited to cats, dogs and equine. The highly penetrating version of cedar oil will dissolve insect eggs, nits and ticks interrupting the egg layer cycle and eliminating the next generation of pests. Insects imbedded in the hair or hide of the animal will release their grip and exit the treated area or, in the alternative, be overcome by the cedar aroma and succumb. Subsequent aroma will create a barrier of re-entry keeping insects at bay. The subject animal will become off limits to fleas, flies, ticks and mites.
Application of “VETS CHOICE” can be done with standard spray or dip methods. Smaller animals such as dogs, with severe flea and tick infestations are better treated with immersion for a period of five plus minutes. Horse and other livestock respond well to sponge applications. Introduction of the solution internally to ears will eliminate difficult ear mite issues often found in Dogs.
Mange and areas of elevated skin irritations caused by burrowing mites and mange mites should be treated with heavier concentrates than unaffected areas. Restoration of hair growth can be observed in a one week period. Goat lice and other parasites require a expanded treatment agenda with a increased application of concentrate applied with a brush or sponge. Positive results can be observed in 72 hours.
“VETS CHOICE” is available to dog groomers and similar services. A diluted solution can be effectively used for bathing dogs and cats and other pets. No soaps or shampoo’s are necessary. The animals should be allowed to air dry without rinse, absorbing the cedar oil solution in their hair. Cedar oil will leave a pleasant and refreshing smell from the animal.
“VETS CHOICE” is shipped in concentrated form only. It can be diluted in ranges from 400:1 for sheep and large livestock dipping tanks or full strength for mange control. It can be applied with pressure sprayers, compression sprayers and hose end applicators as well as with trigger spray methods. It can also be delivered with misting systems and irrigation systems in equine, dairy, feed lot, residential and industrial applications.

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!
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.

Is Canine Frontline Combo effective in treating sarcoptic mange?
I am not sure if my Bernese mountain dog, STARDUST, has fleas or sarcoptic mange. So I was going to treat her sudden constant scratching at her elbows, ears and neck with FRONTLINE COMBO. But I can’t find any information on pack about whether it is any good for the treatment of sarcoptic mange. Anyone out there know if it is? Of course I will go to the vet but just wanted to try to immediately ease her obvious itching. Any help gratefully received. Love Robbie and itchy Stardust x x
take your dog to the vet to get a proper diagnosis and proper treatment
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
Will my dogs hair grow back after treatment for mange?
My dog has a few bald spots on his body. He is going to get treatment for mange but I was wondering if he will have those bald spots permanently.
This is our first dog and he has always scratched from day one. We have been giving him flea medication also from day one. He started with 2 small bald spots on his leg and we thought he might have scraped himself while playing in the yard. However, more spots started to appear and we finally took him to the vet.
My understanding is that his hair will grow back with time and healing. I’ve heard of some really bad cases where pets have lost 50% or more of their hair, and have had a full recovery, but it will take time… sometimes weeks or months depending on how bad the loss is.
I’d like to ask you a question in return, if you dont mind…
What was the very first sign you noticed, that your dog had mange?
I’m actually researching this very issue, as my little chihuahua has had a horrible case of the ‘itchies’ for over a week now, but NO other signs. No hair loss, no sores, no rash. But definitely intense itching. So much so, that she’s waking me up at night. I’m so sad for her, and I’ve already treated her with Revolution, but no relief. She just keeps scratching and biting at her hind-quarters. Thank goodness… not so bad to make herself bleed.
