parkstone 24 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Aludex from a vet is good or DEBAC M from the chemist often works well to. Quote Link to post
skinnyrat 0 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 as redminshaw says you can use BENZOYL BENZOATE, i think thats how its spelled,it doesnt make the dog smell to clever but should do the job, good luck Skinnyrat Quote Link to post

Me m8s rottie had mange on her ear n he couldnt find anything to treat it so he tried athletesfoot powder n that cleared it up. Good luc [bANNED TEXT]. Quote Link to post
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 Gotta agree with the lads on this one Benzyl Benzoate is without question the best treatment for mange,it's not expensive and IMO will definately clear it up.Cheers Andy. If its on his face then be carful how you apply it.this stuff is slightly caustic so wear gloves .The correct thing to do is dip the whole dog which no-one has explained.This is when it gets expensive .By treating the affected area you are not killing any mites travelling along the body .Personally I use ADVOCATE made by Bayer from the vets.This is not a cure but a prevention in the first place.

Guest young lampers Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 apple cinder vinger is ment to cure it put 2 tablespoons in their dog water Quote Link to post
Guest chilli Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 since when has aludex been banned then ??? back up your claims with fact dont scare monger . duramitex is good gear i no people who use it . Quote Link to post
MickC 1,825 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 try ivomec I would use Ivomec aswell as long as your dog has no collie in it (lassie).I use it all the time for various things on my dogs.I used to jab them with 1ml but a man I know who keeps greyhounds just mixes 1ml of ivomec and 3 ml of water and squirts it straight down there neck.I asked him why he mixed it with water and he told me its very bitter on its own for them to swallow.I have give it the dogs this way for a while and it works fine for me Quote Link to post
juckler123 707 Posted April 24, 2006 Report Share Posted April 24, 2006 BENZYL BENZOATE without a doubt apply all over dog keep it warm till it drys wash off after three days do it three times should shift it no problem be carefull not to get it in your or the dogs eyes as it stings like hell!

To effect a CURE with this stuff it has to be used neat ,no mixing with water and the dog has to be submerged not bathed.Sorry to nick pick but facts are facts.Creosote painted on the kennel will kill any mites hanging about but find alternative housing while it drys.Dogs like to lick this toxic stuff for some reason.

sandymere 8,263 Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 if your dog has an infection of the scabies mite, known as sarcoptic mange in dogs, then keep in mind that humans can catch it from them so if you or family start itching! people have already posted advice on treatment ie stuff for humans work well.
