Has your dog been treated for mange mites by your Veterinarian & if so what type did he or she find? If not, you need to take your dogs into your Veterinarian to have them both checked out to see if they have the mange mites and which type? This can only be determined by a Veterinarian taking a deep scraping of skin from the edges of the affected areas and putting in under a Microscope to actually look for the mites. There are 2 different types of Mites, there is the Demodectic (Demodex) mange mite that is normally present in every dog, we even have this type under our eyelids. The dog's immune system normally keeps them under control. When the immune system has been suppressed for some reason such as a sickness, stress, etc. then the demodetic mites are out of control & cause skin damage, loss of hair, etc. They are not contagious and can be treated with your Vet but takes awhile to do. The other mites are sarcoptic mange mites and they are easier to treat but very contagious to humans and other dogs. They are usually referred to as the red mange. You need to know for sure. If it is sarcoptic mange, then you need to bath and dip your dog and your other dog to get rid of all of them. Check yourself too. You need to have your Vet tell you how to treat these. Good luck

Can sulfadine help a dog with some types of mange?
I don't know, but I have cured a dog of one type of the mange by the application of burnt motor oil. When I say burnt, I mean oil that has been drained from the crankcase of a vehicle when the oil was changed. An older man told me it would work, and the dog was fine within a short time. i don't know if it will help with other kinds of mange.
What do you do if your dog has dogmangeeee mange?
The mange is inherent in all dog breeds in the same way that the measles and/or mumps is inherent in all children, which is why children get inoculated against these diseases at an early age. The mange usually doesn't manifest in a dog with a healthy immune system. Common* mange is almost always brought on by stress and usually found on stray dogs that must fend for themselves and don't have regular nutritious feedings.*There is one form of mange that can be spread from dog to dog, so it's important that any sign of mange be tested by a vet to determine which type the dog carries. Although mange can be treated by a vet to rebuild a dog's immune system, if a dog is turned into the Humane Society with signs of mange, one should know that it will be destroyed.
What is the treatment available for mange in dogs Are there permanent cures available?
It depends on the form of mange that your dog has. I believe even the most serious forms of mange are treatable with antibiotics and vet care. My puppy had a common form of mange that I was told to watch. As long as it does not spread or get worse, it should clear up as they age. If it doesn't clear up or it gets worse, see your vet asap.
Can you cure mange with used motor oil?
No, used motor oil is not a cure for mange. At the very best, you would simply manage to severely poison your dog through dermal absorption of the various chemicals in the used motor oil; at worst, you would lethally poison your dog. Mange is a dermal infestation of exctoparasites called mites. There are several different types of mange, and each one is fairly species specific. Treatment for mange relies on killing these mites - used motor oil will not - and on controlling the underlying issues that allowed a severe mite infestation.
Symptoms of mange in cats?
Hair loss in your dog can be just one sign of mange. There are many types of mange such as Sarcoptic, Demodectic and Cheyletiellosis. Mange is basically a mite infection/infestation of one type or another with dog hair loss, itching and scratching some of the signs to watch out for. A mange infection can be serious and it is suggested you take your dog to the vet for diagnosis and treatment if you suspect your dog hs mange. Source: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk/miteandmange.shtml
