mange
Has anyone had any experience with treating mange in dogs? There is a
really sweet Cocker Spaniel at a shelter who is in danger of being put to sleep. Someone just dropped him off at the night box at the shelter, and the dog has mange. Is it contagious to other dogs? Would I have to keep the dog in quarantine while she is being treated for it? I have 3 other dogs that I have to think of too. I don't know how much time this dog has left at the shelter. Please help if you have any knowledge/experience of this disease. Thanks.

Do you know which type of mange? One is very contagious, one is more of an
immune system problem. "melinda" wrote in message ... Has anyone had any experience with treating mange in dogs?

No, sorry, I don't, but I'll try to find out from the shelter tomorrow.
Since posting my original message to the group, I did find some material on the Internet and learned that there are several types of mange. Thanks!

Kim,
Thanks for your kind words. I've been helping out with dog transport from animal shelters for the last year and am convinced that shelter dogs make such great pets. I wish I could adopt them all........ Mindy "Kim/Dreamspinner3" wrote in message ... I just wanted to say BLESS YOU for even considering adopting this poor dog! Adopting a dog with an unknown history from the dog pound or from a shelter can be a challange--I know, I've done it--let alone one with a health problem. I hope that, if you do adopt this dog, everything goes 100% A-OK for you and him!

Has anyone had any experience with treating mange in dogs? There are two types of mange, one is caused by an extremely contagious mite, the other is not contagious but rather is the increase in number of a normally occurring mite because of immune system deficiency. Both are treated the same way however. The traditional treatment is dipping in lime sulfur solution. Unfortunately, mites have developed resistance to this. The second treatment is the injection of a cattle insecticide Ivomec (1% Ivermectin solution). The dosage is critical: too little and the mites will not be eliminated, too much and the dog may die. |

If you just leave the mange alone it will eventually go away at first
it will get worse then after about 2 or 3 week you will see it go away slowly, my vet said that the treatments can kill the animal or it could make it go away and then it would probably come back after 4 weeks the way i look at it it is free and if you leave it alone it goes away faster Hope I could help!
