WHAT IS MANGE???
1. Demodex Mange - this is basically an overproduction of a naturally occuring mite that is related to an immune depressive issue.
Meaning it is a life long issue. Care will need to be taken with respect to keeping the
immune system up and running at peak. This can be done with a
high quality diet (raw being the best), reduction of stress (which negatively effects the immune system) and immediately treating any localized spots with goodwinol ointment.
Bad News with D-Mange is that it is a lifelong issue
Good News with D-Mange is that it is not contaigous
2. Sarcoptic Mange - this is an infestation of a particular mite that is not
naturally occuring on the body. This means that the mite must be killed.
Most often the mitaban dips or even an ivermectin shot will cure this problem.
Bad News with S-Mange - this is highly CONTAIGOUS to all, it
is the same mite that causes Scabies in humans Good News with S-Mange -
it is cureable, but the animal can be re-infected
