Yes I did check in to this more than a year ago and then when another member had a severe problem with it.


What I do know is that I have seen SEVERAL cases of dogs with it spread over their entire body, most recently a chocolate lab whose family could no longer afford the expense, that dog was buck naked and afraid and confused lying in the shelter. This is NOT something that should be taken lightly, it needs to be treated.


NONE of us were there when his vet diagnosed and prescribed a therapeutic treatment and NONE of us should tell him to NOT follow his vets orders. My greatest fear is this taking over the pup and the OP becoming totally overwhelmed. With a pup this young it can affect the pups permanent disposition and the owners ability to continue bonding with pup. I SEE IT ALL THE TIME.


If OP wants a second opinion or to visit a VET DERM I say wonderful, in the meantime PLEASE FOLLOW THE VETS PROVEN course of therapy.


Bobbi I did NOT totally dismiss your suggestion, I said use it in concert with the PRESCRIBED therapy but again OP, please check with your vet.


Your advice in NOT following a vets orders regarding a well known condition, without reading the chart or examining this particular dog is out of line, IMHO.

Well, it can get snarky around here which can be discouraging. I found your comments a good addition to this subject. If you REALLY want to see snarky check out the diet section. :eek:

What a shame that a seasoned YTer says something like this...differences of opinion's is both welcomed and respected when its within the lines of making any sense whatsoever. Things get hot but that's to be expected with differing opinions. But in the end so much is learned and so much info is put out there for others to make their own determinations, opinions and to help pups.


Obviously you keep coming back for more so snarky or not...YTers must be doing something right? ya think?


Bobbi there is nothing wrong with disagreement or believing in your school of thought, please continue to share but expect that there will always be those who agree and disagree. Nothing personal.

Done replying to you.

My dad is retired, btw.

If it is true good for you but I dont believe it. However you are telling this person to home treat this mange and not be under vet supervision or supportt because no vet would accept this quackey method of treatment.

Yes, it is a shame. It is possible to agree or disagree without being rude. Bobbi was treated rudely for giving an opinion, I always have and always will find that a disappointment on YT. This is one of those threads that has lost it's way and should be locked.

I just have no words. The way you are treating me says way more about you than it does me.

Snarky I can handle. I just can't stand to be assumed an idiot. I do know what I'm talking about on this one. In a mild, slow progressing case, there is no problem with taking a short time to try less pharmaceutical methods.

And thank you very much for at least respecting that I can have an opinion. I truly appreciate that.

She told the op to ignore his vets plan of treatment and do hers and the Op was going along with it' She is not a vet and not qualified to treat mange however she has deemed herself qualified. It is dangerous and it doesnt matter to me who it is that does that I will always speak up
