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.


EHS Mange puppy Reeves up for adoption.wmv

Meet Reeves, an adorable 4 month old Shepherd mix who came into the care of the Edmonton Humane Society in the middle of February at just 2 months old after he was found a stray wandering the Alexis Reserve near Gunn, Alberta. He had a severe case of Sarcoptic Mange on his right side. It is a highly contagious skin disease caused by parasitic mites. Reeves’ case was so bad, that when EHS medical staff members first examined him a chunk of his skin fell right off!

how long does it take to get rid of sarcoptic mange using ivermectin injections once every 2 weeks?

My dog got diagnosed with it today and i gave her the ivermectin injection and was wondering how long it would take for her to get rid of it?

Your vet should have told you.

Usually a few weeks


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

How do dogs get mange?

So my Vet said my dog has mange and gave me medicine to treat it a few weeks ago. It’s been getting better but I just want to know how dogs get mange? Does anyone know? So I can prevent it next time!!

what kind of mange? demodex or sarcoptic? if its demodex, that is a mite that is normally present in the dogs skin but during times of stress or when the immune system is low, the mites become too much for the dogs system to control. if its sarcoptic mange that is contagious to people and other dogs.

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.
