Mange in a young dog

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Freedom! self reliance : One Thread

A friend has a five month old lab pup who has mange. She has been using some type of miticide from the vet on him. I was wondering about the pour on Ivermectin for treating this? I have NOT told her to do this, I just was thinking that it should work, but am sure there are some dangers involved. Any ideas? Thanks!!!

Wash with Joy dishwashing soap followed by spray application of Paramite. Give injectible plain Ivermec for cattle orally, 1cc/100lb body weight. Repeat Joy/Paramite in one week. Repeat Ivermec in 3 weeks. Keep pet away from children. Wash thoroughly after handling pet.
