Importance of a Good Mange Treatment

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

Mange is a skin condition that includes scabies, red mange, ear mite infections and cheyletiella which is caused by mites in mostly dogs and cats. The veterinarian may not always offer the right advice and provide the correct Mange Medicine for your pet.

Some of the more severe manifestations of Mange, Sacoptic Mites, Demodex Mites and Ear Mites, need to be closely checked otherwise your pet may face severe health issues. Although these cases are the most severe, there are many other types of Mites that can be dangerous to not only dogs and cats but livestock as well.

Surprisingly, Mange can also be contracted by humans. The condition can get transferred to a human after having contact with an afflicted pet. Humans will experience the intense scratching and irritation in the same way as the pet does. Luckily, though, the infection will disappear in just a few weeks once the pet has been disinfected. The types of Mange that can affect humans are Sarcoptic Mange and Notoedres Mites.

Staying aware of the types of symptoms that develop with your pet is important because, not only can the discomfort be quite severe, but if gone untreated for too long, the Mange could lead to other types of bacterial infections. In severe cases, be sure to monitor your pet’s progress.

Demodex mange or red mange is not contagious hence humans cannot be affected by this. The first signs are patches of bald skin on the pet which would increase with time and get a secondary bacterial infection. They cause a lot of discomfort in the animal making the skin itchy, along with redness and boils.

When a pet has a weakened immune system, he will be more prone to contracting Mange and also slower to recover. But, luckily, in most cases, pets that are healthy and not experiencing any hormonal changes will recover fairly quickly from the condition.

When giving the pet a bath, which is probably going to be recommended by the veterinarian, use Benzoyl peroxide shampoo and afterwards, give him tonics and vitamins that will help boost his immune system.

Be very careful with treatment for your cat with Mange. Cats are much more sensitive to chemicals than are dogs, so it is imperative that you consider this when trying out products for your cat.

If you keep your pet healthy, clean with regular baths and administer various vitamins to boost their immunity then you should not have any severe problems with mites. Mange medicine includes homeopathy as well as allopath so consult the vet if you feel your pet is suffering from any kind of Mange disease.

There are tons of mange medicine that you can find on the Internet that could help.

Mr. Wiggles and Mange Mites

Thursday, February 5th, 2009

Mr. Wiggles is a gray, short haired Chihuahua that has been a part of the Jones’ Family for five years. They were extrememly concerned about Mr. Wiggles’ health because he was losing his and and had open sores from scratching all the time. He was not sleeping or eating as he used to. This was putting a strain on the whole family and they needed to get him some itch relief. It had been an issue for them for the past year and after thousands of dollars in vet bills and medications to treat several different diagnosis and treatments. They finally decided to contact our company and try our mange products.

Mr. Wiggles was experiencing a lot of the symptoms of mange in dogs. I suggested for the Jones’ to try one of our mange treatment kits and our immune booster vitamins. He had a septic smell to him so they started his treatment by bathing him for five days straight to erradicate any bacterial infection from his skin. Mr. Jones called me several days into the bathing and vitamin treatment to let me know how much better his skin was looking and how Mr. Wiggles was playing around a lot more.

Mr. Jones called me again a couple of days later and was very eager and excited to continue the treatment with the rest of his products. It was now time for them to start treating with the PetsBestRx Mitactin Spray and Sulfinex Cream. I informed him to spray Mr. Wiggles lightly with the Mitactin Spray on the first day and then to apply a light layer of the Sulfinex cream the next day but only in active areas. He repeated these steps daily, once in the morning and once at night for the first week. I told Mr. Jones to make sure and contact me if he had any other questions and to let me know the progress of his dog’s mange treatment.

The first week’s update was filled with tears, joy and excitement. The mange products were working very well for them and Mr. Wiggles was back to his playful and energetic self again. The open sores and lesions were healing and he was no longer scratching. Mr. Jones and his dog were both sleeping a whole lot better at night. Mr. Jones called again on the third week of treatment to let me know the hair was finally growing back. He was so excited they finally found something that actually worked for them.
