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.

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.

Is mange in cats treated thesame as in dogs? is there a home remedy?
I donot have much money (& I am not asking for any!)
He is maybe 1month couple weeks old,&has been Licking non stop, his legs and stomach are hairless and flaky from the constant lick. My Vet visit it tomarrow, I do hope its cheap for I only have the consult money but if the treament is over $50.00 dollars We should be fine.
mange in cats is extremely rare, it’s doubtful to be that. (it starts at the ears or top of the head most of the time.) maybe allergies? many cats have them (to all sorts of things from flea bites to food ingredients to pollens) and itchiness & licking/fur pulling are common symptoms of it.
if it looks like it be an expensive treatment once the vet diagnosis something, don’t be too shy to ask if there is anything that can be done at home or if there is a human equivalent instead. he wants your kitty to get better too and will do what he can to help you do that, esp if a cheaper treatment is available.

Is there a safe mange treatment for a kitten?
This a stray that has shown up in our yard. I’m concerned it will infect our indoor/outdoor kitty, if it doesn’t get treatment right away.
Mange is caused by miscroscopic mites. Only a vet can determine if the kitten actually has mange and only a vet should treat it.
An unkempt, mangy-looking coat can be caused by a number of things. No sense and maybe harmful to treat a cat yourself for something that is not there.

Some Of The Indicators Of Mange Are Unnecessary Scratching.
Mange happens, much of the time, in dogs that aren't clean and healthy, but this isn't always the case. Mange is awfully transferable, so if your healthy pet has been around another animal which has been tormented, there's a possibility that he'll also contract the illness. Some of the signals of mange are exaggerated scratching. If your dog is healthy, he'll have a good immune reaction which will help to defeat the bugs. It is exceedingly important when you first spot indications of Mange to see a Vet immediately. As symptoms progress your dog will get worse with no treatment.
One of the largest concerns with mange is the secondary bacterial infection. This occurs when the animal is continually scratching to lose the mites. Alopecia also will be a very noticeable factor for Mange. Herbal additions alone would possibly not be a powerful enough home cure for treating mange, so as well as herbal additions, you can also wish to apply aloe vera, Vitamin E and tea tree oil right to the areas of your dog’s skin that are influenced by dog mange. These herbal treatments are given orally in most situations. Some pure important oils are noxious, so be certain to read the instructions and cares before applying important oils to your dog’s skin. The products you choose should be endorsed for topical use. When a patch of skin gets infected and the dog’s defenses are feeble, then you have got the potential for much more serious problems.
That immunological reaction can be further stressed by infection due to the dog’s continued scratching and rolling around. Symptoms of mange Knowing the symptoms is critical because even the vet will have trouble positively identifying mange. The standard test is to take a skin scrapping and putting it under the microscope. You should mix four oz into one gallon of water and wet the dog’s hair and skin utterly. Sometimes mange first shows itself as alopecia especially on the belly, haunches, ears and face. This treatment should be done each 3 weeks for three months. I will not tell you how splendidly this treatment worked. After just two treatments of the dip and oatmeal shampoo, Oreo was starting to look better.
