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.

Can amoxicillin treat mange in dogs?

AntiBiotics such as amoxicillin will help with the infection only and it will not get rid of the mange mites. There are different kinds of mange; however Demo mange is most commonly associated with infection because the mange mite burrows very far & deep down into the hair follicle. When treating my pets for mange, I usually get my products from a company called PetsBestRx. Here is a link to their website www.petsbestrx.com/mange You can learn a lot from that site and also by calling them. My ziggy has had mange since he was a pup and I keep some products on hand to treat ziggy as soon as he has a flareup. They are not near as bad when I catch it early. The PetsBestRx Mitactin works great when killing the mange mites fast and the products are non toxic and will not hurt Ziggy. If you want to email me direct, i don't mind answering any questions you have. Trevlyn


How can you get rid of mange in your cat?

Mange is caused by an external parasite and can be treated by a veterinarian with several readily available dewormers. However, your vet should be the one to determine the medication based upon your cat's individual medical history and current condition.


Can another human give a dog mange bye touching a dog with mange?

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.

What home remedies are useful to treat mange?

None that I know of. Home remedies tend to be based on natural/organic/traditional recipes, but unfortunately most of them are basically useless against the parasite that causes mange. Sometimes the recipe, in addition to doing nothing about the infestation, can also cause additional health problems in the animal you are trying to treat.

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.
