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

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.

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.

Ivormectin for Demodectic mange?
My puppy got demodectic mange and the vet prescribed him Ivormectin last tuesday, I give him 1 cc a day, for 30 days, it’s almost been 2 weeks and he’s just losing more hair in more spots, should i keep him on it for the 30 days until I go back, or go back this monday when the same vet will be there?
It takes a while. Ivermectin injections seem to work more quickly, but they can’t be administered to very young critters, as I suspect your puppy is.
Certainly though, if the mange seems to be getting worse, bring your puppy in for a check up. It is always, when it comes to animals health, better to be safe than sorry.
Good luck.
