I don't know about Ivermectin as a cure for external parasites. I use it as a heartworm preventative. I have heard it can cure ear mites, but I've never tried it personally.
One product that does claim to cure red mange is Nu-stock. It is available on the 'Net, and in some pet and farm supply stores.
While you can purchase ivermectin over the counter in pet supply stores, it is recommended that you take your dog to a veterinarian before using any medications. Ivermectin in particular can cause severe neurologic damage and death to certain collie-type dogs. Also, a veterinarian will be able to tell if the skin damage is caused by mange (skin parasites) or by some other cause (bacterial or fungal infection, allergies, etc.) that would not be resolved by ivermectin.
Ivermectin is not recommended for use in raccoons due to potential toxicity and lack of efficacy in treating certain parasitic infections specific to this species. Raccoons have a unique physiology and metabolism that may react adversely to medications designed for other animals. It is important to consult with a veterinarian or wildlife expert for appropriate treatment options for raccoons.
Yes. Mange is contagious. Get those dogs to a veterinarian ASAP!AnswerIt depends on if it is demodectic or sarcoptic mange. "Red mange" has been used to describe both. Demodectic mange is a mite that all dogs have-- they receive it from their mother shortly after birth. Sometimes the populations of this mite grow out of control due to immune issues, large amounts of stress, or adolescence. Sarcoptic mange is contagious to both humans and other dogs, but is easier of the two to treat.ANSWER:Demodectic mange is not contagious all dogs carry this mange. But the reason a dog will have an issue with the mange getting out of control is due to another underlying issue, such as yeast. Vets will treat the mange with ivermectin, prednisone and antibiotics when really all you need to do is change your dogs diet. Go to www.milehighbullmastiffs and there is a link to a book that will tell you how to cure this and how to keep your pet as healthy as possible for the rest of it's life.
Borax powder and hydrogen peroxide are sometimes suggested as home remedies for treating red mange, but their effectiveness is not well-supported by scientific evidence. While hydrogen peroxide may help clean the skin, it can also irritate it, and borax can be toxic to pets if ingested. It's best to consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment options for mange, as they can recommend safe and effective medications.
Ivermectin belongs to the class of drugs called "antiparasitic avermectin" and is used to cure patients of parasitic infections. It is used to treat animals and humans in different doses. It is mostly used to get rid of worms.
Yes, it can be used to treat the symptoms of mange. It is prescribed for use in dogs for the treatment of infected superficial lesions accompanied by inflammation and itching. Gentamicin treats the bacterial infection and betamethasone helps with the swelling and itching.
yes and no. lice medicine is designed to kill paracites but mange is a side effect off paracites so it might kill the mange causing paracite but the symptoms of mange will still be there ie loss of fur rashness bleeding all that good stuff
Rabies and mange are the two biggest.
This is probably the result of your dog getting mange. You need to call your vet to see what the best course of action is. Mange is very contagious from dog to dog, so you will have to be careful.
Natural enemies of the red wolf are humans, alligators, and parasites such as mange and heartworm
It could be mange. Mange is not an immediate threat but I would suggest taking your dog to the vet soon.
Yes, ivermectin will eventually expire and need to be thrown away.
