lemon joy soap, motor oil, commercial dips, Ivemec but this can damage your dogs internals if not given properly..Not sure if anything works but thats what ive heard..depends on type also..some is not curable like red mange its a immune deficency or something like that.

Jason,
Red mange can be stopped with Tackic, can get it from a Vet. Use 15 oz. to a gal. of water soak coat every week untill hair comes back and repeat if comes back. Red Mange in males and females, dog shpould be fixed when well to cut down on coming back. Stress is a cause of out breaks.

On the motor oil treatment put sulfur into the used motor oil until it looks like cake batter then apply to infected areas of your dog. I use this method and it works good. Some folks say used oil out of a diesel works better than from a gasoline motor but I was never able to compare  |

Ivomec works for mange. Not the red mange, just regular. Give the dog 3/4 cc the first day, and 1/10th of a cc each day after that for a month. It'll absolutely work.

Go to a farm supply type store and get paramite. It has worked well for me on Demedix mange.

You can also get the Taktic dip on the internet. I got two cans of it real cheap off the net. You can get it a lot cheaper on the net than at the vet. I still got one can. If you are close to Santa Fe your welcome to come over and pick it up. It does work for red mange like Mr. Mason say's. |

I use Mitaban on Meaty. He also gets ivermectin daily. I just spoke with Dr Kainer about a topical that he's having good luck with on manged dogs, but he said that there is no substitute for the ivermectin. There is also a salve (sulphur based) that claims to cure red mange at the feed store. I can't recall the name but Nu Stock makes it. IT WORKS. I use this on Meat, but it is expensive when one whole $14 can only lasts two applications. Smells of BarBQ too.
Neutering Meaty has made it so that I have dealt with only one outbreak in five or six months. I used to deal with them constantly.

At least I'm successful at doing nothing right. I guess it could be worse.

there's a new treatment for red mange. Promeris is a topical flea and tick treatment like frontline. it's not labeled as such, but rumor has it that one treatment will cure red mange, or demodectic mange.
also, my vet told me that if your dog is a male, and has only a minor outbreak as a puppy, he doesnt have to be neutered. it probably won't come back.
