ivermectin [In reply to] Can't Post

hi all....

haven't posted for a bit. well just wanted to share that ivermectin did work....it worked like a charm. no side effects. nothing. the lesions cleared up 90 percent. even the huge bumbs. have only been giving it only past 2 weeks. those who are interested, please ask your vet. however not all vets recommend it but it is a common practice in other countries (including thailand).

'recipe':-

300 micrograms/kg/day for 6 weeks minimum orally

Re: [houyee] ivermectin [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi houyee, Smile

You mentioned that it has to be given for 6 weeks minimum. So if Rowena has recovered 90% must you still continue for another 4 weeks?

When must should you start them on ivermectin? When the problem is starting or only when it's serious?

I saw in my bill it mentions "Ivermec". Do you think it's the same thing? I think the one Sparkle got was a jab? Crazy

Btw, glad that Rowena is recovering too Wink

Hi Hou Yee,

Apparently the side effects appear mostly only on collies, Shetland sheepdogs, Australian shepherds, and Old English sheepdogs

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

Dear ALL,

This is a good site that explains all the treatments for Mange and it's side effects. Good to know what the vets are using on our furkids!

According to this site, MOTOR OIL is a big no no!!

Re: [cshellz] ivermectin [In reply to] Can't Post

Hi ...

Ivermectin can be prescribed at any stage of dermo infection ... but most good vets will (as a general caution) try less aggressive methods to control mange before prescribing Ivermectin ... Our vet only prescribes invermectin for chronic cases ...

As far as I know, for ivermectin to be effective ... the dosage and treatment period are critical ... and the treatment period mentioned by houyee tallies with my understanding.

I am guessing that the minimum treatment period may be somewhat tied in to the life cycle of the mange mite ... so as to reduce chance of reinfestation ...

What I do not understand is why some vets are using invermectin in the form of one or 2 injections ... Would any vet out there care to explain? ... Smile

Cheers

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

Hi ...

The salt solution is a mild antiseptic ... so what you can do is this ... bath your doggie as normal ...

Then in-between bath days ... in the evening before doggie goes to bed ... soak a towel with the mild salt solution and just wipe your doggie (the affected areas) ...

A damp towel will do ... no need to like rinse or completely wet the dog ... just rub your dog with damp towel and work the sale solution onto the skin & affected areas ... This should help with general itchiness and rashes ...

Remember always rinse well after a shampoo ... shampoo residue can cause itchiness too ...

Cheers

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

Just some berita terkini...

Took sparkle to the vet for his check up today (2 weeks since his last check up).....the vet's very happy with his condition. Gave him another Ivermectin jab and he's only scheduled to go back in 4 weeks time. What the vet is going to do is give him a jab of Ivermectin each time we visit....from 4 weeks maybe to once a month, then maybe to once in two months and then once in 3 months...etc. According to him there are some dogs who have many re-occuring problems. So bad that they need the jabs monthly.

Good news is Ivermectic only causes side effects to some breed of dogs. Also, for this time Sparkle will definitely be tick free. Any ticks that gets near him will die. Tongue

The fur around his eyes is almost 90% grown. Only his legs still look like a dalmation's legs. Fur is taking a longer growth time there...Unsure Definitely looks much better from the time at the AKC RDO Day Cool

That's all for the latest news Smile

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

yep he is. One thing I like about the is it really helps with the smell from his ears. I used to have to clean his ears twice a week because it smells the most there. I noticed ever since I gave that to him the smell wasn't bad anymore. CoolSmile Less doggie smell... I think it's helping with the mites too.

And the lemon solution.......I wash his affected areas with lemon solution everyday. I think this helps too.

The Keepers Mix is helping with the hair growth I think. Even the doc was happy with the rate it was growing back. He said normally doggies with longer fur like him take a longer time to grow back fur......Smile
