Have been using for 1 week & no sign of improvement. Have anyone else had this problem? Her hair is coming in silver which i don't mind cause he said it might not come in at all. please let me know if you have had this problem ;0} |

| So sorry you and your baby are dealing with this, it must be miserable for her When you say her "hair is coming in silver", do you mean new growth in the affected areas? If so, I'd say that's a sign of improvement since from what I understand, they itch so horribly that the hair all comes out. Is she still really itchy? I really don't know much about mange, but know there are two types, sarcoptic and demodex(?) Make sure you read up about the kind your baby girl has so you can do all you can to get rid of it. Good luck

| My Chachi had mange. Her hair will come back as soon as the mites are gone. Chachi had to have 5 dips at the vet to get rid of it

| Bailey had the red mange on his head when we adopted him. The doctor did the same scraping. It took 3 weeks at least of putting the ointment on his head. But I can tell you it is all cleared up and he is good to go! |
