Hi SK,

OppsBlush i think i got mixed up.....for Mange is StrongHold......or the traditional way...spray diesel....cage the dog for 2 to 3 days and clean the diesel then spray the mange area with cold water for fur growing.

Or sulfur mix with coconut oil.........

Re: [boon] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

Ahyoooh ... like that ar ... suddenly people start drenching their puppies in diesel, how ar? ...FrownTongueWink ...

In the old days (so, people like me will know TongueWink) ... diesel was applied on animals as a general anti-parasite ... Supposedly, the viscosity of diesel allowed the diesel to cling on to and smother the parasites ...

Apart from having to shave the dog, and messy (really messy) ... it's always been very much a hit and miss method ...

And I'm really not sure if the diesel method is all that effective against mites, because most mites (unlike ticks & fleas) burrow into the dog's skin ...

Re: [surchinmy] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

how do you use medicated shampoo on the area above the nose and between the eyes? my latest adopted kiddo (temporary until someone wants himFrown) has mange there. and the vet gave antibiotics and medicated shampoo. i worry that the shampoo will stink that area big time...afterall it says "keep away from the eyes".

i am supplementing with the lemon solution that i've used on shalom previously.

Re: [a_evie] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi ...

When trying to shampoo the area on the nose and between the eyes ... basically, we just place some shampoo on our fingers and then work the shampoo into the area, carefully ... avoiding the eyes ... It's reasonably easy with our dogs 'cos they are used to being bathed and will hold still ...

If you a dog that is not used to bathing or moves a lot ... then I suggest as follows:

(a) Start bathing all the other areas first ... the idea is to get the dog used to you and the motions of bathing ... keep everything calm & relaxed ... calm with gentle long stroking movements when working shampoo into the body ...

(b) Only start working the head AFTER the dog has calmed down and is used to your movement & touch ... Some dogs will actually start to fall asleep ... Whatever you do ... no struggling ... that only makes matters worse.

(c) If necessary get another person to assist by either holding the dog gently or holding a treat (see below) ... whatever works ...

The important thing is to try and keep everything calm and relaxed ... and the shampoo away from eyes. Remember to also stop dog from licking the shampoo ...

Use distraction for the duration of the soaking period ... You can hold out a treat, just to keep dog's attention - don't give the treat, unless you are sure the dog's mouth is clean/clear of shampoo ...

CAUTION:

Please determine the type of mange affecting your new dog - some types of mange are infectious.

I do not know of any shampoo that gets rid of mange. But there are medicated dips that remove mange. Dips and shampoos are different.

Medicated dips are generally forms of pesticide & quite strong (mitaban is a commonly prescribed medicated dip) ... and must be applied carefully ... especially avoiding the eyes.

If what you have is a medicated dip, then use the same method above - and yes, be careful not to get into the eyes. If that happens, wash immediately with lots of water ...

Cheers Smile

Re: [surchinmy] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

dermo mange...and we have been given the usual medicated shampoo.

problem is that the area is actually right next to the eye itself...less than 1 mm away. so i find it quite tough to shower and avoid getting into the eye...sigh.

o...you mentioned peroxide to me before (quite some time back liao)...will it be easier to use peroxide on the eye and nose area and then use puppy shampoo ( i use non tear puppy shampoo for all the dogs' faces).

and can i combine the lemon solution at all times?

gee...i feel so helpless suddenly...thought that after shalom's mange cleared...i really don't have to worry about having another dog with the same prob.

Re: [a_evie] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

Ahhh ... NO ... no peroxide any where near eyes ... peroxide has cauterising effect ... so only for external use ... keep away from eyes ... Crazy

If the spot is so close to the eyes ... then don't worry about it ... just wash the eye area with gentle shampoo ... And as you sort out the demo elsewhere and as dog gets healthier then the dog's own body will take care of the area around the eyes ...

The lemon solution has a drying effect, so be judicious in its use.

Re: [xyne] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi ...

Mange can affect any part of a dog's body ... It usually shows up as a patch of thinning coat ... with red spots ... can cause dog to nibble or scratch the area ...

Best way to check is to get a vet to do a scraping and examine under microscope ...

Re: [fred] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi ...

There are several types of mange infection ... and the treatment for each is different ...

So, if you suspect your dog has mange ... the first thing to do is to get your dog to a vet and (a) confirm that it is mange (some skin conditions can exhibit mange-like symptoms ... and (b) confirm the type of mange infection ...

Your vet will have to do a skin scraping and examine under a microscope ... Suggest you find a vet who is experienced & familiar with mange and has the patience to treat mange in the long term ...

Sometimes in the case of demodectic mange, it goes away when a puppy grows up ... but there is no guarantee that will be the case for all or even most dogs ... But otherwise, proper treatment is required to ensure that the condition does not get worse, and is brought under control.

Demodectic mange is generally accepted as a hereditary problem, that can return again and again if the dog is not kept in good health ... Scacoptic mange is a more infectious form of mange but probably easier to be brought under control and can be eradicated completely ...

The various home remedies like cleaning with lemon juice and/or vinegar solution ... are all reasonably effective provided that (a) you know how to prepare the solution properly, and (b) the condition is not to severe ... Also remember, homeopatic remedies require patience and diligence on your part ... and must ought to be complimented with good and proper comprising of fresh food ...

Unless you are reasonably experienced and familiar with dog coat/skin conditions, with a fair understanding of nutrition ... I would not suggest home treatment - take your dog to a good vet and get professional help ...

Check these threads:

www.puppy.com.my/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=search_results&search_forum=all&search_string=mange&search_type=AND&search_fields=sb&search_time=&search_user_username=surchinmy&mh=25

Alternatively ... get into Google and do a search on ... Mange ... Demodectic Mange ...

All the best

Cheers

Re: [fred] Mange [In reply to] Can't Post

If you are thinking of using lemon to combat mange ... then what you need is "fresh" lemon juice (not the type you buy at supermarkets) ... which then has to be fermented together with the skins of the lemons before use ...

Olive oil is reasonably good for the skin but not in large amounts (the fat found in fresh meat is probably better) ... And evening primrose oil is probably more effective ...

Cheese is acceptable for general nutrition - provided you get the correct type of cheese ... Soft cheese usually contains too much lactose, and can cause stomach upset in dogs with lactose intolerance (and most dogs are lactose intolerant) ... But I don't think cheese is going to help with mange ...

Seriously ... if you wish to treat mange by yourself - you need to do a lot of research and reading up ... Otherwise, take your dog to a good vet who understands mange ...

Cheers
