I have been carrying my JRT with me when I call and last evening I shot one with MANGE……my dog was woolin him over pretty good before I got there and could call him off. I took him home and give him a good bath, but was wondering what you Dog guys do when your dog comes in contact with a coyote carrying mange?
Thx Kelly

Kelly,
I don't hunt with dogs but Cal on here does. When I asked him that question, I believe he told me that he has never had one of his dogs get mange after working over a coyote that had it.
Maybe he can expand?

If you use Frontline or something similar for fleas, it should prevent it. From what I understand, mange is mites.
Thats what I have been told anyway and have had dogs wool coyotes with what looked like mange and didnt have a problem....
Cal will have the final word, Im sure.

Brad was right, but I was wrong, I did have 2 pups get mange this year, and it is the drizzling shits. But I would say normally with a grown dog it is pretty uncommon for them to get it. The only thing that will clear it up is Ivermectin, and your not supposed to give that to your dog even though it is the same thing that is in HeartGuard. I buy the Ivermectin for cattle and swine and administer orally, but can't reccomend it because you're not supposed to use it that way. But a vet told me how to and dosage, but I was sworn to secrecy.

thx - I don't think he will get it, and it doesn't sound like you do anything special if your dog wools on one with mange. Thanks for the reply.

I had a German Shorthair pup get mange but it was not the same kind of mange that coyotes carry but more less the same thing. They say that young dogs will tend to get it easier due to their immune system being more susceptible to diseases. The vet also gave me ivermectin to give him at a pretty high dose and that did not work. So we had to give him a bath in this medicine several times and that cured it. Ivermectin won't hurt most dogs but never give it to any type of collie.

Sarcoptic mange (what coyotes have) can be cured with Ivermectin. It can also be cured with 10% sevin dust rubbed into the hide. 1/10cc per 10lbs should be given orally. I would give a minimum of .25cc though. Do not use the ivomect pour on. Also be aware that ivermect can kill some dogs, especially dogs with collie breeding.
Demodeptic mange (red mange) can not be cured with ivermect. Actually, I know of nothing that will cure red mange.
Hope this helps. Geordie

Jeremy, we must have been typing at the same time.
Also, ivermectin can be given at the dose I stated in the prevention of heartworms. The dog needs a negative test for heartworms prior to starting the ivermectin though, or the worms will die within the heart causing heart failure.
