No. The vet has special cream that will kill the mange mites. I don't know of any other place you can get the cream.

How dogs get mange?
Yes, dogs can die from mange. It damages the dog's skin to the point that they are susceptible to a variety of other diseases such as skin infections. It also depresses their immune system to the point they become very susceptible to other systemic infections like pneumonia and gastrointestinal disease. Once the dog gets into bad enough shape, it is more humane to put it down rather than try to treat, which may not be effective anyway.
What if your dog has been tested for mange and was negative for it and is healthy other than the skin and you have tried several mange treatments and nothing works what do you do?
Try using a treatment for hot spots. It's normally a blue or yellow liquid. You can get it at Walmart in the dog section. .
When was the game system invented?
When man was able to take time to do something other than hunting and gathering.
Does your cat have mange?
No, my cat does not. But, since your asking, I suppose you cat does, so here is what you have to do: Mange is a skin contagious skin condition caused by mites and parasites in animals. Most of the time, cats that are affected by mange are outdoor cats. Left untreated, the cat can become very ill and can lose their fur. Mange can cause discomfort, scratching and itching. There are several options for treating a cat for mange. Mange in cats is fairly uncommon; however it is possible for a cat to contract mange. If your cat is loosing fur, you should always take your cat to the vet. Other diseases and problems other than mange can cause hair loss. A vet can look at a sample of the cat's skin or fur under a microscope to determine whether or not your cat has mange. There are a few different types of mange that are thought to affect cats. Ear mites are not usually considered mange, but the parasites that cause ear mites can also cause mange. Ear mites should always be treated with injections or prescription ear drops. When a cat has ear mites, the inside of their ears will look dirty. Black oily-looking dirt will cover the inside of the cat's ears. These are not the actual mites, but are the dropping left behind from the mites. Another form of mange is called Demodex Mange, also called "red mange". This type of mange is not contagious. Cat and dogs do not pass this type of mange to each other. Most cats and dogs have small amounts of these mites living on their skin. This form of mange does not often bother the cat unless it becomes inflamed. It might show up on the cat as small patches of hair loss. In more serious cases, it can cause a bacterial infection on the skin. The skin can become inflamed, red and itchy. Demodex Mange usually starts causing problems in cats that are immuno-suppressed or that are aging. This type of mange can also adversely affect cats with poor nutrition. Hormones and stress might also cause this type of mange to cause problems. It can be seen in pregnant and nursing cats or male cats that are not neutered. There are treatment options for this kind of mange. When you take your cat to the vet for possible mange, you vet will perform a thorough health exam. This will rule out autoimmune diseases and other forms of parasites such as worms. An oral medication called Ivermectin can be used. Although this drug is not approved by the FDA to use for mange, many vets find this treatment extremely effective. Another treatment option is dipping your cat in a prescribed pesticide. This is highly effective, but can be cause problems such as vomiting and seizures in cats. Also, it is poisonous, so it should not be used with pregnant cats or by people who are pregnant. This dip is usually done weekly for up to six weeks. Sarcoptic mange is another form of mange that can affect cats. This form of mange is highly contagious and very problematic. Cat that are affected by this type of mange are extremely itchy and the scratching can cause serious inflammation and sometimes bleeding of the skin. Mites will burrow into the skin and lay the eggs. When a cat has this, the excessive scratching can also cause scabbing and infections on the skin. This form of mange is usually determined by examining the cat's skin or fur under a microscope. If it is indeed Sarcoptic mange, your vet will want to wash the cat with a medicated shampoo and then treat the cat with a pesticide dip. Just as with "red mange", this pesticide dip is very potent and extreme caution should be used when treating your cat. If you suspect your cat has mange, you will have to take your cat to the vet for an exam. In order to treat the infection, it is necessary to know which type of mange your cat has. Also, it is not recommended to use "home remedies" for mange that are often found. These can be extremely dangerous to your cat. In many cases, hair loss is not mange. Hair loss can be caused by allergic reactions to foods, plants or even medications. Allergic reactions are treated much differently than mange so it is very important to seek medical care for your cat. source: http://www.cat-advisors-online.com/Mange-Treatment-Options-fo-your-Cat.html

Dry scaly patches on dog's skin?
Depending on the age and history of your dog, hair-loss can be caused by a number of things. Young dogs often get demodectic mange. It is a genetic condition that requires speedy treatment. Sarcoptic mange is another possibility. Sarcoptic mange is highly contagious to other dogs, and to humans and also requires speedy treatment. Both types of mange will cause secondary skin infections and can lower your dog's immune system leaving him prone to illness. Treatment requires a trip to the vet, so please do not try any of the old fashioned wives tale treatments as they can hurt your dog! It is also possible that the hair loss is caused by something other than a parasite such as poor nutrition, some type of skin infection, allergies, or stress. Regardless, a trip to the vet is in order.
