my puppy has sarcoptic mange. how long before I can let her play with me and my daughter and other dog?

Question

She is on an oral dose every week for four weeks. Right now she is in her crate, and not a very happy puppy. I dont want to get it or my daughter or other dog. So I will keep her in there. But how often do we have to wash bedding, etc.???

She is on the iv (Sp? oral dosage). I dont let her on my daughter's bed or mine. I washed her bedding in her crate tonight and wondered if i needed to do that every day? Also, my other dog was checked today and he didnt show signs of it, but they put him on meds to be safe. The poor baby looks at me so sad wondering why we cant play.... she goes back in 4 weeks for a recheck. She hasnt lost any hair yet. They found it in scabs on the tip of her ears.

Answer 1

We dont Treat Oraly at our Shelter...Hmmmmm.I imagine They are treating with Ivomec.We generly Dip or use Revolution..In those cases I feel Safe letting them be with other dogs and taking off my gloves after a week.If You and your Kid get this Its Scabies in people..I got it once from a Mangy Dog and it is Hell!How many doses has she had? The Bedding I would Wash as Needed as the Mites dont really spread as much as you think That way.I'm Talking about the Dogs Bedding..If she has been on ya'lls Beds Wash Them All and Dont let her on until theMites are Dead...A For Sure Sign The Mites are Dead are when Hair starts growing back in the places she lost it.At that point She can be treated as Normal!
Good Luck

Answer 2

if your dog is currently in medication, lets say ivermectin in 4 dosage every week, most probably in 4 weeks time. in tghe mean clean the beddings, and give him medicinal bath and some medicines, whether spot on, orals, or injectables, and no need for multiple treatments as you only center with one treatment to prevent over dosage and toxicity damaging the liver, you can also give ur other dogs same treatment as preventives or propylaxis to prevent contamination of other dogs, as to humans it may cause temp itch but humans generally are not contaminated by mange, as it cannot burrow deep into the skin of humans and thrive, in humans a different species causes such, sarcoptic mange causes dog scabies. its not life threatening but treatment is necessary,

My Dachshund is very prone to mange so I make sure to prevent it by buying the right, usually medicated; products for her (e.g. shampoos, anti-tick powders) and not letting the other dogs share her things. Change beddings twice a week and don't let your dog eat where he/she sleeps. It's okay to play with your dog as long as you wash up afterwards. They get very lonely when they're locked up. Good luck!

Try to check with your dogs vet on that one.
