CURE DEMODECTIC AND SARCOPTIC MANGE
There's a couple plus look up the uses of neem oil... it's a natural oil that is insecticidal. I did find one ref for using in on mange.
done it already skink. they told me to call a vet. the vet told me to call SPCA. it's a run-around. i called them this morning.
i have also tried a coal tar shampoo that my boss gave me. he's got two pits as well. one of which caught the demodex mange. he gave me the shampoo he used on his dog to help with the itch. doesn't seem to be helping that much though.
What about plain old hydrocortisone cream? I'll check and see if that's contraindicated in animals.
This link addresses oral and injectable gluco and corticosteroids. By the looks of it, a topical preparation of 1% hydrocortisone is safe and routine.
The Veterinary Use of Glucocorticosteroids (Corticosteroids) in Pets
i read something somewhere that said hydrocortisone is bad for scabies. that it helps them reproduce.
try and find a Neem oil shampoo I looked into it and a lot of sites recomend it...
good news! i got someone to spot me the cash to take him to the vet and possibly pay for his treatment until i can pay them back. i'm going to take him in the morning and see if i can get the Revolution for him. fuck this nasty sulfur shit.
thanks guys for all your help and input!
EEWWWW, never mind then.Quote:

Good Deal,,,I started itching mehself... Let us know what happens,,,OK...
Call the SPCA and see if they have a recomendation on a decent Vet... A good Vet is just as hard as finding a good doctor... I finally found a decent Vet after getting royally riped off by another...
Good Luck!!!
My boss recommended a really good vet. That's the one I called for an estimate on what it was going to cost to have him checked out. About 40 bucks. I'll post after we get back from the vet tomorrow and update.
I feel bad for the pooch!!! Good Luck...Quote:

I'm so thrilled you took him in! Gosh, I know that was expensive, but it was so good you did that for the animal! You're a good and caring pet-owner, On Second Thought. Hope Jackson'll be smelling back to normal tomorrow and feeling fine. At my vet's office, I always worry that my dogs'll freak, but they do fine. The vet techs are very friendly and attentive, and the dogs have other dogs and people to look at and bark at, which they really like. My impression is that animals tend to be well looked after at those places by people who like dogs and know how to interact with them. Let us know how Jackson's doing tomorrow when he gets to come home!
Cool Beans... I am a plumber and in a area were well water contains high amounts of sulfer,,,it smells like rotten eggs,,, literally... 128 sound reasonable for what you had done... the good deed will come back 3fold...
Time to bug-bomb your house too if you want to be REALLY thorough.Quote:
