shovel leaner 7,648 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 Was out with my russell dog today by some barns , i was doing some work and he was mooching about by some bales . Next thing all hell breaks loose , he had a fox up the side of the bales in a very tight gap , i couldnt reach him and he eventualy killed the fox . When i eventually got him out and put him away i was able to hook out the foxes body , it was really mangey , with very little hair on its tail and mask . I rang up my mate who i dig with for advice and he recomended some hibi scrub and some ivomec which i have . Anybody got any advice , dont want to risk the dog but would like to avoid a trip to the vets if possible . Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Barralad 40 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you`re going to treat for mange, you need to know what type of mange your dog may have first. No point in treating guesswork. For example: Cheyletiella mange can be treated with just a mild dog shampoo to make the dog more comfortable & will usually run its course in about 3 weeks. Demodectic mange can be treated with Demodex or Ivermectin. Some dogs can have a reaction to Ivermectin so another alternative could be milbamycin, a heartworm preventative. Sarcoptic mange can be treated with the likes of Ivermectin, Selamectin, Moxidectin or milbamycyn oxime. If in doubt, use the vet. Don`t understand why some folk put shedloads of effort into a working dog, then avoid the vet to save a few bob. If your dogs worth it, get it to the vet & get it sorted. (Although I do realise you sometimes have to be a little selective over which vet you attend)!!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lucky 578 Posted January 20, 2014 Report Share Posted January 20, 2014 I've used crovect in the past with no problems but now I use ivormectin (pour on). I did however have a lurcher that had a really bad reaction to ivormec years ago and nearly died as a result. The lurcher was a collie cross and I was told afterwards that ivormec can't be used on dogs with collie in there makeup, I've no idea why or how true this is but it seemed feasible in my case.
