cat mange treatment?
March 18th, 2010 | 
Author: my cat has mange but i dont know how to treat it because she cant take any antibiotics or anti inflammatories (shes highly allergic).. shes been to the vet many times but he doesnt know what to give her because she needs a natural remedy, does anyone have any home remedies? thanks
is putting alcohol on her a bad idea? i just thing it would kill the mites but i dont know if its safe
I have just had a terrible mange problem with a new kitten. This is what the vet did: shot of Ivermectin (not a steroidal or anti-inflammitory) and a dose of selamectin (Revolution)
applied topically as directed.
Neither of these should cause a reaction in you cat, but do let the vet know about the allergies.
In two days you should see improvement.
DO NOT USE ALCOHOL. It will sting and your cat won’t let you handle her/him again.
In fact, there isn’t much else you can do except what I have listed above. Dips are toxic to cats. SEE YOUR VET.

I don’t know what it was, but my dog got a hot spot treatment that smelled like really bad garlic…I think it had garlic in it.
Garlic is an antibacterial/antifungal… something with garlic might help. Of course, it can burn in large quantities…so be careful with that.
Is is sarcoptic mange? Is there any way you can, say, smother the mites? Like, I’ve seen where some people use mayonnaise to smother lice–you leave it on overnight and wash it off.
Of course, you’d probably need to put one of those cone things on the cat and confine it.
Can it take, say, Revolution? I don’t know if that kills sarcoptic mange or just the eggs.
Now, when my dog had mange (sarcoptic mange), we dipped him in this totally vile sulfur-lime dip.
It smelled totally repellent. Like, nuclear rotten eggs–disgusting. But it did the trick. He was tiny–he’d been abandoned, probably because of the mange. I doubt he was even 6 weeks old.
That stuff is nasty, but it works. No antibiotics necessary. Nothing internal (we put him on Revolution afterward, for flea/tick/heartworm protection, but not for the mange.)
There should be something topical that will help.

I would strongly recommend a consultation with a homeopathic veterinarian or a veterinary homeopath for any such chronic problem that allopathic medicine has not been able to solve.
Initial consult for evaluation of the cat and choosing an appropriate remedy would probably run around $200. It is very easy to spend that amount and much more running around to various allopathic vets, trying steroids and other ineffective medications which you have found your cat cannot tolerate.
To understand something about the science of homeopathy go to: http://www.littlebigcat.com and read Dr. Jean Hovfe’s article "Introduction to Homeopathy". At http://www.blakkatz.com Marie is a long-time cat owner who uses only that modality in treating her cats health issues (she has been a long-time breeder of cats).
A qualified and competent homepath is not easy to find. There are two Yahoo groups I am on lead by classical veterinary homeopaths – CATWELL and ClassicalHomeopathy/Pets. Both Irene on CATWELL and Magda on the other group are practicing, trained veterinary homeopaths and can be contacted for private help. The homeopathic veterinarian I use for my two cancer cats is at: http://www.homeovet.net
