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.

sarcoptic mange mites?
My friends dog has sarcoptic mange Mites but he can’t afford a vet. The dog looks bad. I can’t afford one either… Is there something I can use to help this dog? We know its mange mites we have been looking at all the systems online. There are allot of products out there but what one will work… Motor oil didn’t. Help me help this dog please?!!!
Yes I was told that Motor oil will kill them… I can’t shave the hair off because she doesn’t have any. Mange mites lay eggs under the skin anyways. Shaving her would do no good. I have asked a vet and they want to charge me to come in for testing other wise they do not want to help. Local store do not carry anything for mange mites.
I think I will try more vets and see if there is a payment plan… I can’t see this dog in anymore pain. Thank you all for your help!
Topical treatments DO NOT work for mange mites as the mites live right down in the hair follicles. Some of the spot on treatments (that are absorbed through the skin) such as Revolution will help with scabies.
Ivermectin also is a recognised treatment but shouldn’t be used on collie breeds.
The dog really needs to see a vet as skin scrapings should be done to check whether it is sarcoptic or demodectic mange mites that are on the dog.

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 there a homeopathic treatment for scarcoptic mange?
RACENTLY AQUIRED TWO 6 WEEK OLD PUPPIES .ARRIVING HOME FROM MISS. I NOTICED REDNESS ,RASH(BUMPS LIKE FLEA OR BUG BITES )TOOK THEM TO THE VET AND THEY WERE DIAGNOSED WITH SCARCOPTIC MANGE AND NOW I HAVE ON MY LEFT ARM ,ARMPIT AREA ANDUPPER TORSO FROM HOLDING THEM
Go to a human doctor, NOW. Mange is not something you want to screw around with.
Mange is caused by burrowing mites, which are essentially microscopic spiders that live in your skin. Their movements and their droppings cause an immune response, making the skin swell and itch. As they multiply, the affected areas spread.
According to Wikipedia, twice weekly “sulfurated lime rinses” are an effective treatment. There are also a few effective topical and internal drugs like Ivermectin.
Mange is itchy and painful, and it spreads, as you’re probably finding out right now. It won’t go away on its own. Get effective treatment for you and your dogs. If you find a homeopathic remedy that works, great, but it’s not fair to the dogs to make them endure the mites when working drugs are available.

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.
