Demodectic Mange

PLEASE READ: La-La is a wonderfu, beautiful, pitbull mix at the Cmberland County S.P.C.A. La-La has a very horrible disease that caused the scar on her neck. This disease is called demodectic mange. It is not contagious to other dogs or humans. To have this type of mange, the dog is normally born with it. In order to get better, she has to go through many treatments. Also, this disease will make her whole body itch. She will scratch so much that she will loose hair and maybe even forget about eating and drinking. Of course, the shelter is working on getting rid of the disease. In order to have this wonderful dog, you must be very patient, loving, and understanding. You can read more in books or on the internet. You can alsoask your local vet. Thanks!!! -Liz and Toni

Update 6-4-10: Bubbles has one more Mitaban dip the week of June 7 and then should finally be ready for adoption!! Bubbles is a super-sweet and affectionate 1 year-old Bulldog mix female who came to Canine Lifeline from a local dog pound so that she could get the medical attention that she needed. She has demodectic mange which makes her skin very pink, raw, and painfully itchy. Her photo was taken the day we took her from the dog pound directly to the vet clinic. Treatment requires dips and oral medication to keep it under control. Bubbles is in the midst of her treatment and will be ready for adoption once her skin issues have been resolved and she has been spayed. Bubbles is housetrained, crate-trained, and a very quiet, well-behaved girl. She likes other dogs and is starting to play with them a little now that she’s feeling a little better. She’s just a real joy to be around! Demodectic mange is likely be a chronic condition for Bubbles so someone who’s willing and able to deal with the cost, time, and effort involved in managing this disease is what she needs in the long-term. Please email Barb at bwible@roadrunner.com if you’d like more information about Bubbles.

He is an American Bull Terrier. He was just diagnosed with the Demodectic Mange through skin scrapping at the Vet’s yesterday. He is on treatment, we were prescribed a shampoo, as well as Mitaban, an antibitioc, and another oral suspension for the mites. I read that the mites affect them through a weak immune system, that I’m assuming he had after the parvo. What can I do to help boost his immune system? It really breaks my heart to see him sick again Also is there something else I can do, other than the treatment he was given, to help him get through this?
He was prescribed* not we sorry.
Also for the mitaban, we were told to sponge the diluted solution on him. Is there another effective way?

That is really the best way to use Mitaban. Unfortunately, your dog will need to grow out of the demodex. Once his immune system is back to normal, he shouldn’t be so bad. It can take weeks though to overcome demodex. Be patient. Antihistamines like Benadryl, and Hydroxyzine won’t really help for his condition. If he is losing a considerable amount of hair and is really uncomfortable, make another trip to your vets office.

Spencer is a one year old brown and white male boxer puppy who was dumped at the Baldwin Park shelter on April 2nd because he is suffering from demodectic mange. This well behaved boy was rescued by Animal Advocates Alliance and taken to their veterinarian where he is now receiving the proper medical treatment to restore his health and happiness.
Once he is cured he will be put up for adoption and someone is going to end up with a fantastic puppy!
