I have a 2 year old Maltese with a mild case of mange. I read several places that neem oil helps with the symptoms does anyone know if health food stores,drugstores, or petstores carry the product? And does this product work,for a small dog with mange, if not what does?
The thing is, mange is a generic term for many skin problems. You need to find out EXACTLY what it is. Treating it randomly can do more harm than good.
Neem oil is more for getting rid of parasites. I haven’t had any luck with it, but I know people who swear by it.
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

It doesn’t look like the discriptions necessarily. Its round red scaley spots that have flakey dry skin in the middle and then it turns into a scab in the middle. Some of the spots or about the size of a bic pen. I thought mange from cats would affect me in smaller bump like rash?

The dog species of sarcoptic mange can TEMPORARILY infect humans. Usually the itchiness from this lasts about three weeks, or less. The mite can’t live in humans, so it dies. If the dog remains in the household and remains infected it can continue to give its owners new mites, though — so the itching can last longer because there is a constant new supply of mites. Cortisones are sometimes used to reduce the inflammation and itchiness. It is not necessary to kill the mites because the are going to die, anyway.
The human species of sarcoptic mange is contagious between people and is a problem in settings like nursing homes where it can spread pretty rapidly through the resident population in some cases. It is often referred to as scabies.

Question by nova_queen_28: Question about Mange?
I realize there are different types, all caused by a mite, but my question is this: is a dog “cured” once treatment is completed, or does a dog require maintenance treatments to keep mange from coming back?
Can mange be transmitted to cats or humans?
I found a dog that will be available for adoption after it finishes its treatment for mange – and it might be a dog I would be interested in adopting and I’m finding lots of websites about mange, but not ones that answer my 2 specific questions about transmission and “cure”.
THANKS!!
