You might get some knowledgeable answers if you posted this in the "Pets" section rather than the human health section of Yahoo Answers.

I just found out that my two cats have mange,i was wondering if it could be contagious to me or my two dogs.. And i would like to know if there anything i can do to make my cats more comfortable and how to prevent it from happening again.(they are going to the vet in a couple of days)

Please any advice that could be helpful is appreciated. thank you and God bless!
I also have two guinea pigs..could they be volnerable also?
im pretty sure its contagius because one cat had it and we thought he just got into a fight,then a couple of weeks later the other one had it

he has been like this for a couple months so i bet its not contagius to humans..but im no expert.

Rose, the LONGER you wait the harder it is to clear up. Mange is skin mites, they need to be treated. Get the cats in asap.

Cause we did bath our cat and he is still scratching and he is scratching to the point of giving him sores like on the bottom of his belly where his tits are and on his back and top of head by his ears and shedding a lot for short hair please tell me what i can do if u know of any thing im a single mom of 2 and low income so really cant aford much.

First know that mange in cats is pretty uncommon. One form of mange lives on a cat naturally but in very rare cases, goes wild and that’s when you see the scratching. The causes that are more likely are fungus like ringworm or allergies to something in the food or in the environment. Based on the areas he’s picking on, it sounds like an allergy. Call your local humane society and see if they know of any low cost veterinary clinics. An easy thing to try is an anti-histamine like Claritin, Benadryl, or Zyrtec, but you’ll need the dose from your vet. If that works you can be pretty sure it’s an allergy to something in his food or in his environment. In the meantime I would not recommend bathing him as that will dry his skin out more. If you want to see if it’s a food allergy you would have to put him on a new food that’s very different from the one you have. Common allergens in cats are chicken, fish, corn, and wheat. So you would need a food without all of those. For example, Natural Balance has a green pea and duck formula. For some reason they don’t make a ton of hypoallergenic cat foods like they do for dogs so it’s tricky. There are some available by prescription. If you want to try the food you need to do an 8 week trial with no additional treats or tablescraps since even a small amount of the offending food can trigger a reaction. Anyway, good luck! There are some cheaper solutions but a trip to the vet is a good start.

13 years of low back pain, irresponsive to any kind of physiotherapy treatment, got some help form a chiropractor friend on a regular basis.
Slept less than 4 hours a night and needed daily pain medication to mange her daily needs. A clever woman, that learned to earn a living and care for her lovely family in spite of daily severe back pain and bilateral leg symptoms.
Seen here for the first time more than a year ago at my clinic in Holte, Denmark. The only treatment used here is SNAG (Mobilisations with Movement) as described by Brian R. Mulligan, New Zealand.

Note, max ROM, fear of movement, ability to control a single leg lift (both legs)

It’s possible to get it again, yes.

Sarcoptic mange (scabies) is passed from one animal to another. So if he has exposure to another animal who has them, he can get them again. This is one of the reasons that it’s usually recommended to treat all your pets if one tests positive to sarcoptic mange.

Good luck! My dog got this as a puppy and she never had it again. Hopefully yours won’t either!

Ok I got a Boxer Lab mixed, she is now 8weeks old she has had so many issues and Have spent so much money so far at the vet..Now that we got her healthy now Im looking into pet insurance.
my questions are:
1. Deductible, is this yearly?
2. who do you use?
3. how much is to much?
4. what should I watch out for, I got this HUGE feeling that it maybe a waist of money? I don’t know! tell me!!

she has had Mange, and now has a deformities that she will outgrown, she has splints on her legs and in 2 days she is walking and jumping! so it helps..I want to be covered in case this or something else happens!
thanks!

With such a young pup, it’s probably a really good idea to look into insurance especially if you have spent a lot of money at the vet already. And if this is just a preview of what you’re going to have to spend in her life then you definitely want insurance.

Here I hope I can answer some of your questions:

1. The deductible is per incident, but you only pay it once for the incident if it is ongoing. For example, if your dog got diabetes, you would pay the deductible for the first bill, but if the bills kept coming then insurance would cover the rest.

2. We have Trupanion Pet Insurance and I would definitely recommend it, they cover 90% of the bill and don’t have annual limits

3. It depends how much you’re willing to spend per month. Some companies offer to cover routine care such as shots and dental, but this will make your premiums much more expensive and isn’t really necessary to get all the bells and whistles onto your insurance.

4. Like I said before, I would avoid any extra costs and just go with the basics. I saw a company that charged $180 extra a year to cover up to $200 of routine care, so it’s only worth it if you spend $180 or more of routine care which you can’t be sure that you always will.

You should get a free quote from each of the companies to check out what they have to offer. I have left a link to a good quote and compare site to see quotes from many of the top companies. Good luck!
