Demodectic Mange in Puppies?
Has anyone had a young dog with Demodectic mange?
My puppy has it and has been dipped once in dipp that contains amitraz. I really dont want to have to have him dipped in it again. Has anyone had a puppy with it and just allowed the puppy to outgrow it?. Or has anyone had any luck with anything else that worked on this type of Mange?
Thanks,

I contacted the breeder that we got him from and she is getting her female spayed, so no other puppies will have to go through this. I was planning to get my puppy fixed. I didnt get him to breed. I sure hope this gets better, not sure I could put him down. My vet said that by age 1 there system is mature and may fight it off after that. Does anyone know of something that would boost him immune system. I know he dont need a steriod, that will weaken his system and work against this mange
Demodectic Mange Treatments
Nine times out of 10 if a puppy has it he was born with it and though it may appear to go away, it usually isn’t really away.
All dogs are born with this specific mite. It’s just that some dogs have a harder time fighting off the mites. And it will continue to come back. After 3 various treatments, I finally put my puppy to sleep (he was 16 weeks old). His mange would go away and then come back after a week or two.
Discuss options with your vet but definately have your puppy nuetered as he can transmit this to other dogs and it can be heredetary so all his puppies will have it too.

Mange Problems
Noticed dry skin on my hedgehog….I put her on a black piece of paper and rustled her quills. A few quills fell out along with some moving “specks” so I know she has mange. I will take her to vet asap but wondering if anyone has had this happen to them with their hedgehog and about how much it cost for treatment?
The Cost of Mange Remedies
Cost can vary greatly depending on where you are located and on your veterinarian. I’ve paid anywhere from $30-60 just to walk in and see the veterinarian… medication, skin scraping, etc is an additional cost.
I recommend calling your veterinarian and asking them how much they charge for seeing the hedgehog and treating it for mites. That way you are prepared when you get the bill.

Finding the Right Mange Medicine for Your Pet
Dealing with Mange Pet Problems
If you’re looking for Mange medicine for your afflicted pet, you should absolutely consult your veterinarian. Dogs and cats are the most prone to the condition, which is caused by mites. It is also known by other names such as Ear Mite Infections, Scabies, Red Mange or Cheyletiella.
If you are dealing with one of the conditions more severe forms, Demodex Mites, Ear Mites or Sarcoptic Mites, then you definitely need to consult your veterinarian sooner than later, as these variations can cause your pet to become seriously ill as a result of them. In addition to the previously mentioned forms there are many other kinds of Mites which can pose a threat to your pets – and to livestock as well.
Sarcoptic Mange
Sarcoptic mange or scabies can affect dogs, cats and even humans amongst other animals. The Notoedres mite cause intense irritation and itching in humans and animals. They can be transferred from the pet on to the human though if the pet is disinfected on time the symptoms would disappear within a few weeks in the humans. The mites burrow themselves under the skin in the ear, face and elbows. Crusty skin on the ear is a sign of scabies in dogs.
It is important to treat these conditions as quickly as possible, as the discomfort can become quite severe. Seepage, scabs or boils may begin to appear as well as balding skin patches. If that happens, the vet will likely have to do a biopsy to check for other types of infections that may have developed.
Steroid creams such as cortisone can be used to relieve some of the itching, as well as the redness and irritation. Bathing the animal is also recommended, using dandruff shampoos followed by any vet-recommended insecticides.
The Demodex variation of the infection is not contagious, but you still want to get it checked out and treated as quickly as possible, because you run the risk of causing a secondary infection in your pet if you don’t. With Demodex, your pet will experience the same itching, irritation and discomfort as with the other types of Mange, so of course you want to relieve your pet from that in the fastest time.
When a pet has a weakened immune system, he will be more prone to contracting Mange and also slower to recover. But, luckily, in most cases, pets that are healthy and not experiencing any hormonal changes will recover fairly quickly from the condition.
Vets would recommend treatment to ensure safe recovery and that includes boosting the dog’s immune system with tonics and vitamins. Baths with a Benzoyl peroxide shampoo would help the pet.
Ear mites cause intense itching and discharge in the ear in dogs and cats. Cats are more sensitive to chemicals hence it’s important to consult the vet in how to safely treat the feline.
Several Mange Treatments
There are all types of treatments for pets with Mange, including homeopathic and allopathic remedies. Before deciding on a treatment however, always consult your vet first. If you take proper care of your pet, including regularly administering immune-boosting vitamins and cleansing baths, then hopefully, you won’t have to deal with mange for too long at all.
