Sarcoptic Mange

[zoey]

thanks for your replies everybody. well, Daisy got a thorough exam and scraping, but they didn't find anything. such is the case 60% of the time, but we are treating her for the mange by giving her ivermectin injections and oral ivermectin. she'll have 4 injections in all, due for the second on the 5th. so far, i think the problem is under control, but she is still itching like mad, very allergic. i REALLY hope the allergy goes away. i cannot stand to see her this way.

I too got the sarcoptic mange from my little shelter pup who had every parasite inside and out. We tried Revolution, didn't work. We got a dip from the vet, and I got a dip from my doc. They are so nasty, they burrow and grow under the skin. You scratch til you bleed.

If your dog has been Dx'd you should be able to p/u a dip without having to bring pup back in.

I am so sorry you have this!

For the lucky folks who have never walked this particular journey, this mange is different from demodectic mange.
