Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted August 24, 2006 Report Share Posted August 24, 2006 The safest option for you mate is to decline the offer.Some mange infections are the very devil to sort out . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Guest bigbird Posted August 27, 2006 Report Share Posted August 27, 2006 one of our lads terriers has had mange a couple of times, got stuff called advocate from the vet, it is a spot on treatment, clears it up in a few days, and keeps them clear for 3 months, then use it again. £7 a time saves loads of hassle. works on fleas and ticks too.

nelson 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Report Share Posted August 28, 2006 The thing with Mange and other diseases/virus's bug's call them what may,prevention is better than cure,Foxdropper advised to stay well clear and thankfully jonesey did. The problem is WE all like to think we can sort any problem out, no matter what it is but there are some things which are best left alone.Diseases take there toll on an animal,they take there toll on us,so avoid them like the "plague" if you can,don't invite them in and don't take in anything that isn't healthy.It WILL cost you in the end and it is not worth it Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rainmaker 7 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Share Posted September 1, 2006 bigbird, tell us more about this advocate stuff - I've never heard of it? I've been using StrongHold. It's not much cheaper than the advocate stuff, and only lasts one month. StrongHold works on ear mites, mange mites, fleas, worms but not ticks. Never heard of the other stuff, it's cheaper AND kills more nasties by the sounds of it? I know about Advantage, is that the stuff you meant? Still didn't know it did ticks as well? What's the craic?
