Ahhhhh...poor little Basil!! How terrible! I'm so glad you were able to catch this early on...especially since Noah and Noel were exposed. Bless all their little hearts! Did they all have to get injections for treatment? Do you have to take all 3 of them back later for more treatment? I think it's a great idea that you're going to call the person you got Basil from, since all the kittens probably have it. Poor little things! Do let us know what happens. **hugs**
For anyone who may not know, Mange (called notoedric mange in cats, sarcoptic mange in dogs) is a skin condition caused by a parasite that burrows into the animal's skin and is contageous to other pets. It causes intense itchiness, especially affecting the ears, elbows, and face. People can pick up this disease from their pet and show symptoms of itching, but it goes away by itself in a short time and does not require treatment. However, animals do require a treatment to get rid of it.
