Assisi & Helping Dogs With Mange In

By Robin Setser


I'm sure that you've heard of a dog being "mangy," which usually relates to its appearance. However, the idea of mange, as a condition, may not be as familiar to you. For those who do not know, mange is a type of skin condition that is seen in mammals, mostly dogs and cats. In terms of the former - and Assisi will attest to this - it's one of the most troublesome conditions and one that in the direst need of assistance. It's just a matter of understanding how to approach it.

Mange is typically transferred to dogs through mites, meaning that dogs who have terrible problems with fleas and the like will have a greater risk of developing this condition. When this happens, there are certain signs which stand out more than others. Everything from excessive itching to more visible reddening of the skin, which indicates irritation, should be taken into account. These are just a few of the tell-tales signs of mange in canines.

Another point to consider, when it comes to mange, is that certain breeds carry it more than others. Even though the more serious version is prevalent in older dogs, younger puppies can contract a less severe version that usually goes away on its own. The risk of mange can also fluctuate based on how prone dogs are to disease, as a whole. If you want to talk about medicinal assistance that can benefit dogs, in the long term, Assisi can prove to be useful.

If you want to know how mange can be treated, in dogs, there are a couple of possible solutions to be aware of. One of the most striking, in my view, has got to be medication given through shots. This will help the medication in question to easily enter the blood stream, which is crucial. There may also be the need for antibiotics but considering that this will vary from one case to the next, you should know that your veterinarian will decide if extra help is needed.

With the high degree of outdoor activity that's common with dogs, mange seems to be all but unavoidable. If this problem starts to rear its head, though, you can see that there are solutions to the issue. However, the only way that you can become familiar with them is to seek guidance from those who specialize in medicine. Once this information is made clear to you, it's easy to see that you'll be more comfortable when taking the necessary steps forward.
