Have 2 male pups that R losing hair on tail and feet think it might be mange! ! Is the anything I can do for them to see if it works before taking them to the vet? I have given them a medicated bath with antiseptic and bleached down there living area and houses!!
If it's mange stronghold worked good for me.
Where can I get strong hold
Come on now. Google is your friend. Or just call your vet.
My females tend to do that as pups. Only the tight carver stuff. Give them ivomec. The vet will give you the pills which will lower their blood count and then you will have to pay for a transfusion. So, IMO do it yourself
You can do the ivomec daily.
Or you can go to either Tractor Supply or Atwoods and buy this dip, which will cost less than $20 bucks. And will seemingly last forever.
This will rid most dogs of "red mange" or demodectic mange.
You can mix a garden push cart full, 5 gal bucket or trough and completely submerge the dog in it, whichever is easiest for you.
Do this daily mix according to packing directions. This will also make them shine like a new penny...and if you have any cuts or scrapes. It will dry and heal them up with the quickness!
As well as protect against flea and ticks should you have that problem as well.
Good luck!
Hi. You've barely given any information.Originally Posted by MOTOR CITY
1. How old are they?
2. What are you feeding them?
3. In what kind of kennel situation are you keeping them?
You say you've bleached down their area, like it's a novel thing to do. I typically bleach pup kennels at least twice a week, if not more, depending on how many pups/weather, etc.
Your pups could be losing hair simply because of living in filthy conditions. Or, you can be doing everything right, and they simply do have hereditary mange.
Can't know which, until I see pics of the kennel, and have these questions answered.

Red = Bad
Yellow = ehh
Green = Good
The rest is a vitamin pill.
Out of all the possible options available to you, why did you select this one ... and ... looking at it ... do you really want to feed this shit to your dogs?

Keep in mind, this is not to discredit you, but to get you to thinking ...
Why in the world would you buy this crap?
Before you start dumping a bunch of chemicals on your pups, 1) Feed them correctly and 2) Keep them correctly ... which, at this point, you're doing neither.
Above-Ground Pens are the optimal way in which to keep pups.
