What are some other treatments for dogs with scabies?

Question

I have used different shampoos,and am now using ivermectin, but nothing seems to work. She had started to clear up, but now the irritated spots have affected new areas. Should I try shaving her and bathing her in a dip? I don't know...please help.

Answer 1

topical sulfur kills them, keep the dog isolated from your family, its very contagious.

i am assuming that you had it diagnosed.

it could be mange or some other condition.

Answer 2

This Works I Swear...I use It all The Time At the Shelter Where I work...Go to The Vet and Buy a Tube Of Revelution.It Kills The Mites..It it is Indeed Sarcoptic Mange.They Use to have a Product on the Market Called Paramite That worked Wonders..I still have a Big Bottle Of That as Well..But Its hard to come by. They do make Various Other Dips, She may need to be on a Antibiotic for any Secondary infections from the Itching and Sores!
Good Luck!!!

Answer 3

I have a Labrador that had scabies when we purchased him. He had 2 rounds of the Ivermictin shot and I was advised to bathe him in a good flea shampoo. Took care of the problem very quickly! I wouldn't rely on the Revolution - I would definitley go back to the vet for the Ivermictin shots. Good luck!

Answer 4

First of all...are you SURE it's scabies?

What breed of dog? How old?

There are a few other things this could be, and you could actually be irritating it more by so many baths. More info please!

Answer 5

This infection is notoriously hard to treat but it is essential that you tackle it as it is horribly infectious and can spread to humans. You must return to your vet for treatments.
