There are several kinds of mange a dog can have. Hopefully your dogs have the non-contagious kind - demodectic mange. This is caused by a mite that exists on every dog in the world and even on humans. Your dogs may have a lower resistance to the mites because of poor breeding and a suppressed immune system which is causing them to react to them in the way they are. You need to see a vet so that they can do a scraping and find out what kind of mange they have and then they will help you deal with how to treat it (usually repeated, medicated baths). In the meantime, make sure you are feeding your dogs a very high quality diet so that they can build up their immune systems.

frontline plus is what a vet put my dog on when it got mange from another dog... It was a little expensive but it was worth it.. At the time I lived in caifornia and it was the human society in San bernardino that I took my dog to.... I dont remember exactly when and how much was given.. It depends on the size of the dog... Hope all works out well... My dog ended up very well but I did have to split up the dogs until the both were better...

Depends on what kind of mange it has. Some can be treated with a series of shots, others can be treated with a series of dips. Go to your vet and see what they recommend.
Make sure that if this is congenital mange that you do not breed the parents or any of their offspring again.

Mange is an uncurable, yet treatable disease. They will need medicated treatments for their lifetime, so bring them to the vet as soon as possible.

it depends on whether it's the genetic type or the contageous type. take your dog to the veterinarian and you will probably be advised to get a mitaban dip done.
