Ivermectin can cause Brain Damage

Saturday, January 30th, 2010

Ivermectin is found in many pesticidal creams, ointments and pills used to fight mange and ear mites. It is important to understand what you are giving your pet. Ivermectin has been proven to have a high level of neurotoxicity especially with repeated use on nearly all mammals including dogs, cats and humans. What does this mean? DANGER!

If you are using a medicine that contains Ivermectin, this means you are exposing your pet and yourself to dangerous poisons. The main concern with Ivermectin is its neurotoxicity — meaning it could cause a wide array of brain related side-effects.

Some animals and humans have been known to have head-aches, seizures, cancer and in some cases, permanent brain damage.  Why use such a toxic solution when there are non-toxic, safe-to-use formulas on the market designed to eliminate ear mites and mange from your pet. Our gentle formulas are made to kill mange and ear mites on contact with harming you or your pet’s health in the process. You are looking for a solution to a problem, not another potentially even worse problem.

Mange Dip Toxic to Pets

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Many pet owners are advised by the vet to perform “dips” to cure mange. Vets don’t inform you of the toxic nature of these mange treatment dips. More often than not these dips will do more harm than good. Your pet can experience a number a side-effects from these mange dips. We know you want to do what’s best for your pet and unfortunately they can’t tell you what they need. Our non-toxic mange treatment will kill mange without giving your pet painful side-effects.

Vicki S. can testify to this exact situation.

Vicki wrote, “We have a 6 month old German Shepherd Mix (Brady) that was diagnosed with Demodex mange a week ago by our vet. The vet did a “dip” last Saturday. Since then Brady has lost more hair on his body (arms, legs and chest) as well as most of the hair on his face. He has scabs, some open sores and “bumps” on his back and butt. He has a definite “bad” smell now. He scratches and licks like crazy. We got a cone for him and that has helped. The vet said we could give him Benedryl 3 times a day. I found your site on the web and am interested in your product.”

The hair loss is caused by the toxic nature of the dip. The bad smell Brady had is caused by secondary infections most likely caused by the skin irritation the dip caused. We were able to help Vicki restore Brady to full health with our safe, non-toxic mange treatment. Brady is happy to mange free and Vicki is glad to have her furry friend restored to full health and back to his spunky self.

Pet Mange

Length of Treatment depends on Type of Mange

Monday, January 25th, 2010

The time frame during which you need to treat for mange depends on what type of mange your dog has. You should be able to eliminate Sarcoptic and Cheyletiella Mange within a matter of weeks. However, if your dog has been diagnosed with Demodectic Mange or Demodex your battle could be life long. It is possible to kill mange in dogs with Demodectic Mange. However, this type of Mange is hereditary and tends to flare up now and again over the years.

It is important to keep your dog’s immune system boosted with vitamins and a proper diet when battling with Demodectic Mange. Flare ups with demo mange can occur due to stress, malnutrition, change in diet and lack of excercise.

Barbarra F. wrote to us saying, “I purchased sulfinex, mitactin spray and shampoo for my son’s dog which has demodectic mange, in May of this year.  He used the treatment as advised until the product ran out.  By the end of the treatment good results were gained but sadly the mange has returned.  How long should this treatment be continued and is it usual for the mange to return?  My son has limited funds so does not want to purchase more product if it is somethintg that he is going to have to continue for the life of the dog.  Look forward to your comments, because I am prepared to buy more product for his dog if the mange can be cured permanently.  His dog is 10 months old and is a boxer, bull mastiff cross but looks like it could have pit bull in it too.  It is a lovely puppy but if the mange cannot be cured its days may be numbered.  The dog has no broken skin and doesn’t appear too bothered by its condition but it looks mangey.”

We were able to give Barbarra and her son some helpful information on demo mange. Since then their pup is doing much better but continues to have the occasional flare-up.

Mange can be confused with Ear Mites :: Products safe for Kittens

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

It’s important to know that PetsBestRx products are safe for kittens as well as for adult cats. Sabina G. wrote us about her new kitten and we are excited that we are able to help her with her new kitten.

Sabina wrote, “WHAT LOOKED LIKE A SIX WEEK OLD KITTEN CAME TO LIVE WITH US ABOUT THE SECOND WEEK IN DECEMBER.  NOW THAT WE ARE IN THE SECOND WEEK OF JANUARY I AM GUESSING IT TO BE 10 TO 12 WEEKS OLD.  WHEN IT ARRIVED IT HAD NO SIGNS OF SKIN PROBLEMS BUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF WEEKS WE STARTED NOTICING BUMPS ON ITS EARS.  THEN GRADUALLY SOME LOSS OF HAIR ON THE HEAD AND NECK.  NOW WE ARE STARTING TO BELIEVE THAT IT MAY HAVE MANGE. ARE YOUR PRODUCTS FOR MANGE SAFE FOR A KITTEN SO YOUNG?  WILL IT HURT THE KITTEN IF IT’S NOT MANGE ?”

PetsBestRx products are safe for kittens and cats alike. Our products designed to treat Mange will not hurt your cat or kitten if they do not have mange.

It is important, however, to make sure you have a correct diagnosis so that you can follow the correct treatment process for mange or ear mites. It sounds like Sabina’s kitten may have ear mites because the nodules are around the ear and the hair loss is in areas close to the ears. We have been in contact with Sabina to make sure she gets the correct diagnosis and the correct products and treatment method. We look forward to hearing how Sabina’s kitten does.

Our Products work wonders for Cat Mange too

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

Although Mange is more prominent in dogs, our Mange Treatment Products work wonders on cat mange as well. We were able to help Diana J. who had an outbreak of Demodex Gatoi with her 3 cats.

Diana wrote, “I have 3 cats all about 1 1/2 years old. The have just been diagonosed with Demodex Gatoi. 2 have licked half the hair off their bodies. I believe this came from the breeder. My other cat from a shelter did not have this but she is now itching. They all have it. Thank god they are all declawed front and back or they would have ripped open their skin. I am suppose to start them on a Lymdyp Spray which smells awful. I was wondering if you product would help with this as this form of Demodex is not as common as some of the other types.The are also getting injections of invermectin. ”

We were able to provide Diana J. with the products designed to help with this particular kind of cat mange outbreaks. Our Sulifnex Cream teamed with our Pet Healing & Protection Spray designed to be gentle enough for cats will help heal and eliminate the Mange for all of Diana’s cats.

We were also able to provide Diana with information regarding the toxic treatments she was currently using for her cat’s mange. Ivermectin injections can be very toxic and harmful to your cat’s health. In some cases these injections do more harm than good. It’s important to use a non-toxic treatment and boost your pet’s immune system when treating mange.
