Question by Roxi: Treating My Dogs for Sarcoptic Mange Can I also Treat My cats?
Hi There Again,
Here I have yet another question…
I have been treating my dogs for Sarcoptic Mange after my Maltese began loosing his fur…Long story short he was being treated for allergies bu my vet since october, I got a second opinion from another vet after I realized my other dogs were scratching, they found scabei (mites) in the skin scrape now I am treating all my dogs.
The meds and dip have been working great and my dogs look so much healthier and happier especially my old boy who lost most of his fur beacuse of all this. I herd it can pass to my rabbits and cats…:( My rabbits have no contact with my dogs so Im not that worried about them, but my cats walk about the yard, they dont come in direct contact but I just want to know if I could use the same dip which is called DEMADEX (I have put it on the link below) and its to treat Sarcoptic and Demratric Mange plus some other things in dogs. Can I dilute it in a spray bottle and spray it on my cats? I have two and Turkish Angora who loves pleaying with water and my Siamese who hates it! So my question is can I use the dogs formula which is the DEMADEX Rinse put it in a spray bottle and spray it on my cats? Revolution doesn’t control Mange on cats just dogs. I am using Advocate which the vet recommended as it also controls mange.
Please let my know if I cant what else can I do? Can I make a home mix myself??
What about Malaban? Could I use that? Its simular to Demadex although Demadex is more thorough.
Thanks Everyone I would greatly appreciate anything
I cannot wait till the day all this is over…I have owned dogs all my life and have never had anything like this before
Question by dogluvn: How to treat dog itching/scratching/biting.?
I have 2 dogs that have never had skin problems. A couple of months ago I brought the dogs to my parents house to watch them for a week and the dogs returned with skin conditions. My parents dogs clearly have some type of skin allergy and I’m wondering if it’s possible that my dogs got it from them? On one of my dogs (black female Lab.5yrs) there are visible signs, redness…perhaps she bit herself red, I don’t know for sure. My other dog(puggle3yrs) has no visible symptoms but bites and scratches continuously….it’s frustrating and very concerning. I’ve tried shampooing with treatment shampoos, they say to do it only once a month, it helped; however, the symptoms returned in less than a week. Any suggestions? Could this be a parasite? Is it allergies? Do I need to go to the vet?
By the way, the dogs have been treated for fleas.

Answer by walking lady Its possible they got mites or lice and yes, take them to the vet to be tested and treated. This itching must be driving them crazy by now.
Question by Kristin: How do I treat my dogs bald spots?
okay so I have a 1 year old red nose pit bull. And he has all these bald spots on his back and sides. It started off as just one small spot and turned into many spots all over. They aren’t red and they don’t seem to bother or itch him. He isn’t acting or eating any differently.
I’ve already taken him to the vet and I’m super pissed because I just spent $ 160 on the visit and a skin scrap, to hear the vet say she we need to spend $ 200 on more test because she didn’t see mights but there’s this one might that he could have but she doesn’t really know so she wants to give him every kind of medicine. F*** the vet! I don’t want to waste my time on playing process of elimination. I don’t have that kind of money. And its just a rash!!!
Also the skin scraping made my dog bleed so now he has 6 bloody spots on his body and for what? To find out he doesn’t have a certain kind of mite? Btw she didn’t even examine the rash she just said “oh well this kind of mite is common in this kind of breed of dog”.
Does anyone know how to treat mange, mites, or skin allergy’s?
Anyways, if you could tell me of a cream or anything I can do or feed him that might help I’m open to all suggestions. Thank you

Answer by shonoel So if your hair starts falling out and the doctor says you will need expensive tests to find the cause, I guess you will say F the doctor and ask us experts on Yahoo Answers.
Your dog would probably lay down his life for you, lay down some money for him.

To treat and prevent a dog’s dry, itchy skin, which are usually caused by external parasites or allergies, provide a high-quality food, keep them bathed regularly and add fatty acid supplements to their food. Brush a dog’s fur regularly and apply topical preventative flea medicine withhealth information from a veterinarian in this free video on pet care.

Meg has been signed over to the RSPCA as her owner cannot afford treatment for Meg’s flea allergy. She has never been to a vet in her life so wasnt too happy at being handled as she was very scared. Poor Meg is in a lot of discomfort at the moment as she has some fur loss and a lot of soreness. She was riddled with fleas too but the treatment has cleared them. Meg has been microchipped, started vaccinations, wormed, flead and is on medication and medicated shampoo to cure her soreness, she will be bathed every other day, in no time at all she’ll be back to normal, once her skin has improved and she’s happier in herself then she can be rehomed so please log your interest in the meantime. She will be spayed when she is in better condition. Meg is a friendly girl. She travels well and is good on the lead. She is good with children, she can be fine with some dogs but over boisterous with others but generally ok. She isn’t good with cats and she will need a pet free home. How can anyone allow their pets to get in this state and suffer, the help is out there via various charities including ourselves. If people used flea treatment as a preventative on a regular basis then the animals wouldn’t suffer this way at all. Please give Meg a loving home, she would love to find out what life is like without feeling irritation and pain for once. Video Rating: 5 / 5
They prefer their apples over any other treat! It is adorable to watch! o proud of my boys being so healthy! WARNING: Apple seeds contain amygdalin (a form of cyanide) which is very toxic to everyone. Cyanide prevents the blood from carrying oxygen throughout the body. Please CORE your apples first! APPLES are a great, natural, healthy (and economic!), ‘treat’ for your dog(s)! They are a good source of dietary fiber and vitamin C (Some believe that vitamin C can help hip dysplasia) low in saturated fat and sodium and they also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which contribute to a healthy, glossy coat and help to control skin allergies! Please note that portion control still very much applies! Too much of anything is never good! I feed my boys 1 apple *CORED!!* split between them and chopped. On occasion they get 1 *cored* apple each. xoxox
