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.

Angel is getting an anitboitic cream massaged gently into her skin after her bath to help treat demodex mange. after all the abuse she has endured, she has such a sweet disposition. I found her at the pound. we are trying to get her to California to a lady that wants to adopt her. I am just one person, not a rescue. if you would like to donate to her care and transport please send donations to paypal account sisteramy@hotmail.com. any help would really make a difference.

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

Please help!! My cats have pretty bad mange. Need home remedy known to be safe & effective for cats! Thanks!?
Recently became aware that my cats itching was not b/c of fleas (tons of treatment) but from mange mites! I cannot afford a trip to the vet and am also weary of chemicals used to treat mites. I have found a number of mite remedies but all have been for dogs with no side notes indicating they are safe for cats. Please help if you have any information or experience.
Homeopathic Sulphur, either in drinking water or if the cat will take tablets, bath the affected area with warm water to ease the irritation
Does neem oil work for dogs with mange?
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.
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

For all you foodies . . . LAOS FOOD – Luang Prabang, Laos

for all you foodies . . . LAOS FOOD
Laos food is interesting. . . is it like Thai? Is it similar to Burmese or Chinese? What is it, you ask? Well, we had a sampling; some of it is quite good, and some, I can gladly leave in Laos for the Laos people to enjoy.
As far as foreign influence, the French have left a nice baguette-shaped footprint firmly into the Laos country. Everywhere you look, there are baguettes. Some baguettes are better than others, but in Louang Phabang, there are many bakeries that are quite French and are therefore, tres bon. We ate at Le Banneton and thoroughly enjoyed the veggie tartine; it was like an eggplant, cheese, and tomato pizza on a croissant. Decadent! Chris gobbled up his roll, made with fruits and nuts baked inside. And their pain du chocolat (chocolate croissant) was perfect: buttery, flaky, slightly crispy with small dark chocolate morsels hidden inside. Other pastries included Asian fruits like dragon fruit, which is bright pink on the outside but has white flesh dotted with tiny black seeds. Not much flavor but it looks cool, and I love the way they fused the traditional French with the local fruit.
As far as traditional Laos food goes, there is a restaurant in Louang Phabang called Tamarind that is geared towards teaching foreigners about Laos food. So much of the following is from their menu/guidebook minus my personal commentary, of course. The first time we went, we chose 2 tasting plates. One was called the Dipping Platter and other was called Five Bites.
The Dipping Platter: these dips (or sauces) are called Jeow in Laos. The purpose of them is add flavor and spice to sticky rice. The Laos staple is sticky rice, which is a special kind of rice that sticks together (duh). It is also called ‘glutinous rice’ but according to Tamarind and Wikipedia, sticky rice is actually gluten-free. Just an interesting tidbit of information to wow your friends with. Anyway, the Laos take a chunk of the sticky rice, form it into an egg shape, and dip it into these jeows, or they use the rice to scoop up food, between their thumb and the rice clump. A piece of etiquette: it is perfectly ok to use either hand when making the rice clumps, but make sure you pack your clump tightly. Leaving any stray grains of rice left in a sauce from your dip is considered bad Laos manners.
Jeow Mak Len (the bright red one): is a tomato based and sweet. It tastes very Italian and would be super tasty over some pasta. Mange!
Jeow Pak Hom: (top right green one) is made with coriander, is supposed to have a “fresh” herb taste, but it’s pretty spicy, so honestly, that’s all I tasted.
Jeow Mak Keua: (bottom left green one) is a paste of smokey roasted eggplant, made on an open fire. It’s like a smokey babganoush. Wonderful.
Jeow Bong: (dark red, bottom left) is mainly made from garlic, but has buffalo skin to add “texture”. Eeek. It actually is my favorite of all the dips because it tastes like a mixture of hoisin sauce and the spicy red bean paste you get at Korean restaurants. Kind of sweet, kind of spicy. Yummers. We did have this jeow the next time we ate at Tamarind and it was much spicier with more buffalo skin in it–I prefer it more Westernized and mild. Call me Western.
Khai Pene: (the dark triangular spotted things) a local Loupang Phabang seaweed that grows in the Mekong River. It is also called river moss or Mekong weed. It is gathered from the river, pounded flat, and then set out to dry in sheets. It is seasoned with garlic, sesame seeds and dried tomato. It is usually eaten with the jeow bong (aka spicy red bean hoison paste). We also ate this at another restaurant that heated up the seaweed, which enhanced its crunch (and oil).
The Five Bites sampler:
Sai Oua: Louang Phabang sausage, made from pork, but it can also be made from buffalo. We tried to get the buffalo sausage at this other restaurant but they were out. The pork version is a dry, herby-spicy sausage. …

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.
