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.

i read something somewhere that said hydrocortisone is bad for scabies. that it helps them reproduce.

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.
