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.

Anyone know how to cure demodectic mange?
My puppy is about 12 weeks old and she has demodectic mange it had been pass by her mother. Not really sure on what to do for her so maybe you guys can help. Maybe some of you have been though the same thing. Thanks for your help.
demodectic mange is a mite that naturally occurs on all dogs. some dogs when under stress or in a new environement will have an overpopulation of this mite and have hair loss. the tendancy of this can be genetic, but it’s not specifically something she “caught” from her mother. it is best treated under a veterinarians supervision and direction. ivermectin is often the drug of choice but you are better to get the dose from a vet. many vet will also use an antibiotic to help the dog from getting secondary infections also. since this is a sign of a weakened immune system. it is successfully treated in most cases. but i would start at your vet for further treatment.

My dog has sarcoptic mange, please help.?
My dog was diagnosed w/sarcoptic mange. She is getting injections to treat it, but I am worried about re-infestation. I can’t isolate her for 4-6 weeks while the shots begin to work and I am unclear on how often I should be cleaning everything she touches! I’ve cleaned everything in the house again and again, but how long until I can relax a little???

do you think this is sarcoptic mange and how do you treat it?
Well my vet won’t treat it until the slide results come back in 2 weeks.
My dogs are itching constantly and their hair is falling out on their ears and backs of their front legs. They are also itching their chest. Their skin is scaley.
I don’t want to wait 2 weeks to treat them so I’m trying home remedies in the meantime. I’m already using gentian violet (antifungal) and put vitamin E liquid on the scaley skin, but so far it’s not helping.
Please any suggestions because I am tempted to just go to another vet but my current vet said the reason he doens’t just want to treat it is because the medicine is harsh and he wants to be sure it’s sarcoptic mange or another fungal infection.
Thank you for ANY help
When he first checked the skin scrape right after he did it, he said all he saw was normal skin bacteria (staph i think) but then a few days later he said the slide changed colors and was fungal..i don’t understand why he can’t take a hair sand check for mites or something! and Ms. Manners…Im not sure..on my heels there are little bumps that look like poison ivy or mosquitoe bites but I do go walking through woods and fields so it could really be poison ivy. it itches but not terrible like my dogs are itching.
and my dogs don’t have little bumps, theirs is just like really scaley scabby skin and hair loss
my dog is a border collie mix
thank you for the link Jessie. ok if my vet doesn’t call me back by today (i called friday) i’ll see a new vet because I really think this is what it is..and if the treatment won’t hurt them i think that’s better than letting them scratch themselves raw, it just looks so uncomfortable for them
He hasn’t returned my call…I think he’s mad that I never picked up the antibiotics for my other dog, but i don’t want her on them if there’s no bacteria infection.
If it is sarcoptic mange, you are dealing with a mite, and there is no effective home treatment.
I know itching dogs are driving you nuts, but wait for his diagnosis.
(I dont know why it would take 2 weeks to diagnose sarcoptic mange….maybe they have to culture the fungus to eliminate that possibility).
Are you seeing any bites on you?
I know my mother was bitten by the mites when her dogs had sarcoptic mange.
That would be a clear indication that you are dealing with mange.
*****
The mites can be very hard to see, even with a skin scraping.
Sometimes a vet will just treat the dog for sarcoptic mange in order to eliminate it as a possibility. Why dont you ask him if he would be willing to do that?

can my cat get mange because i was playing with a mangey cat?
I was babysitting for a friend today and went over the neighbors and one of their cats has mange. the cat was all over me, and the neighbor assured me it wasn’t contagious but i’ve seen on the internet that it is? I’m worrying because I don’t want my cat to catch it, ’cause we don’t have the money right now to get him to the vet if he does.
It depends what mange it is, but yes mange is contagious! You should watch out for yourself aswell as it can get into your clothes and spread anywhere. Also, some mange is spreadable to humans.
