Demodectic Mange

We take on a lot of tough medical cases. One of the most common things we see in dogs/puppies is demodectic mange, which we’ve had a 100% success rate in treating.

November 27, 2018 by Friends For Life

Demodectic mange (also known as red mange, follicular mange, or puppy mange) is a skin disease that Friends For Life sees most often in young dogs.

Mikey was one dog that came to us with a bad case of mange. After recovering in a medical foster home, though, he found an incredible forever home where he had a dog brother, 2 acres to run on, and blankets at the ready to be tucked into whenever he got chilly.

The Drs. Foster & Smith Educational Staff put together this helpful overview article on the medical aspects of demodectic mange, describing what it is, and how it’s transmitted, diagnosed, and treated in dogs.
