Mange Cats

Copie « partie 1 » du vidéo-montage de Denis (mais sans sa bande-son originale)

Raid cession 2009

-5 motos (3 à l’arrivée) et un 4X4 voir deux sur une partie du parcours (Il était prévu plus de participants mais la “crise” fut un élément difficile pour beaucoup dentre nous cette année 2009)

-Une seule crevaison (toujours sur la même moto…2 l’an dernier sur la même moto et sur la même roue… ça s’améliore…)

-Quelques petites interventions mécanique mais rien ne pouvant nous empêcher d’avancer dont un carénage qui à préféré finir le parcours dans le 4X4 dés le troisième jour !

Une triste chute un peu plus violente que d’autre nous obligera à laisser un participant rentrer avec Europ assistance également au troisième jour, le troisième jour, Souvent le plus usant

Une rencontre fortuite et involontaire au détour dune épingle dans un pittoresque petit village entre une KTM 950 et un 4X4 Nissan, nous ralentira quelque peu mais plus de peur que de mal sauf quand même un peu pour la KTM

-Un rythme de roulage à la fois plus calme et plus rapide, sans doute du aux arrêts moins nombreux (moins de participants) avec environ 6 à 8 heures de roulage quotidien (vers la fin le “programme journalier était “mangé en une demi journée)

-Un nourriture comme d’habitude “aux petits oignons” (merci le cuisto de l’équipe) manque peut-être encore un peu de viande!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-Mon budget (Hors frais de préparation de la moto) est de 520 Euros cette année comprenant
-Les frais d’autoroute et de gaz-oil (en partage des frais pour le 4X4 tirant ma moto sur la remorque) pour l’aller et retour Bretagne-) Pyrennés
-L’essence pour la moto sur le parcour
-La nourriture, les campings et les cigarettes (pour huit jours)

VIVEMENT L’AN PROCHAIN !

C’est ça, c’est ça, c’est ça la France
Et je l’aime du Nord à la Provence
Elle chante, elle pleure et elle écrit
Avec son cœur, son histoire de France
C’est ça, c’est ça, c’est ça la France
C’est l’amour, la joie et l’espérance
Et sur la terre, en liberté
Il fait bon vivre, il fait bon chanter

Le vin rosé qu’on boit glacé
Au bord d’une calanque

Petit garçon:
L’instituteur et le curé
Qui jouent à la pétanque

Dans un bistrot, les escargots
Qu’on mange avec les doigts [Oh la la !]
Et la galette le jour des rois
Et la barbe à Papa

C’est ça, c’est ça, c’est ça la France
Et je l’aime du Nord à la Provence
Elle chante, elle pleure et elle écrit
Avec son cœur, son histoire de France
C’est ça, c’est ça, c’est ça la France
C’est l’amour, la joie et l’espérance
Et sur la terre, en liberté
Il fait bon vivre, il fait bon chanter

Un petit bal qui tourne en rond
En chantant des rengaines

Petit garçon :
Astérix et les Gaulois
Molière et La Fontaine

Et Charlemagne et le champagne
Que j’avais oubliés [Oh la la !]
Et les coureurs du tour de France
Au 14 Juillet

C’est ça, c’est ça, c’est ça la France
C’est l’amour, la joie et l’espérance
Et sur la terre, en liberté
Il fait bon vivre, il fait bon chanter
C’est ça, c’est ça, c’est ça la France
Et je l’aime du Nord à la Provence
Elle chante, elle pleure et elle écrit
Avec son cœur, son histoire de France
C’est ça, c’est ça, c’est ça la France
C’est l’amour, la joie et l’espérance
Et sur la terre, en liberté
Il fait bon vivre, il fait bon chanter.

Trois Petits Tours – Thomas Fersen

Gratte-dos
Même si elle est un peu froide
J’aime bien ta p’tite main de jade
J’aime bien ta p’tite main au bout
De sa canne de bambou
Gratte-dos

Lime à ongles
Malgré le travail à faire
J’aime bien ta p’tite langue de fer
Bien que de classe laborieuse
J’aime bien ta p’tite langue râpeuse
Lime à ongles

Cure-dent
J’aime bien ta p’tite tête de bois
Et te rouler dans mes doigts
J’aime bien ton p’tit bout d’ sapin
Quand j’ai mangé du lapin
Cure-dent

On en met dans une valise
On en met, je n’en r’viens pas
On en met dans une valise
Même dans une petite comme celle-là

On en met dans une valise
On en met, je n’en r’viens pas

This is Nelson – he has mange and was severely malnourished when he got stuck in a client’s garage. He’s a sweet boy, but still a little unsure of some things. I decided to see if he likes singing and if it would calm him. It really did. I sang parts of Paul Thorn’s “Resurrection Day,” one of my favorite songs in the world. I need to re-learn the words, but Nelson didn’t care. His mood completely changed…watch it until near the end when he rubs his head against my leg. He was in heaven. I’m going to sing to him from now on.

The urban myth that foxes kill cats is very far from the truth.. They share time and space very peacefully.. Total respect both ways )
(yes the fox HAD mange and the treatment is in the sandwiches that she’s eating)

Has an appointment next week.

I don’t know any history of the dog, was a stray that just came up.

lost most of hair and is covered in scales.

It could be sarcoptic or Demadex. Sarcoptic is contagious to humans as well as other dogs. Wash your hands and stuff until you find out for sure. You could give him benadryl. You would need to give him childrens benadryl. The dose is 1 tablet per 25 lbs. Soem dogs get sleepy while others may become hyper. It is usually safe for dogs but when you give it to him for the first time just watch him to make sure he does not have a bad reaction to it. I have never had a problem with it before though. Mange is so terrible for dogs and I am very thankful to hear that you are going to help him. I wish more people were like you.

Sarcoptic mange is like Scabies to people and it can be cured, which means that once all the mites are gone they do not come back unless they are recontacted.
Demodex is a hereditary mange. This means that the mother or father carried this disease. Every living thing has mites on it’s skin even humans. These mites keep our skin clean by eating the dead skin and other microbes. In a dog that has Demodex, their immune system does not keep these mites controlled. So the mites end up doing more damage then good. So in other words, Demodex is more of an immune difficiency than a skin condition. Demodex is not curable. Treatment will kill the mites and keep them at bay. Treatment is with 6 dips or more untill a skin scrape shows all mites dead. Later the owner should keep an eye out for more outbreaks. If an outbreak is caught early the dog may only need oral medication, another dip, or a medicated shampoo to retreat. Demodex may always reappear after treatment.

To the Vet Tech- I am also a Vet tech and I have personally seen a white boxer who had Demodex so bad that his skin literally sluffed off in my hands. He looked like the "Resident Evil" Dobermans. This dog was in such agony that we couldn’t even do the medicated baths on him. When he barked his face would crack and shoot blood. So in other words, Demodex can be just as itchy and painful as Sarcoptic.

Im asking this question for my dad-inlaw…He just bought collars for his cats not long ago- same rack-brand-all of it his one cat we’ll call Cat1 had started to breakout you could say losing fur has/had some sores fur loss completly around neck some on his back and near his tail- its looks as if hes been chewing. Cat 2 never had any problem totally fine. He says this happens sometimes in the summer with Cat 1 and had another one who had the same problem but has never been this severe. There has been NO Flea evidence. He obviously has taken the color off since this has happened a few weeks ago and had given them their Frontline treatment recently. Cat 1 has started getting better and fur is growing back since then.A friend of his mentioned possibly Sand Fleas but there is no evidence of fleas. I am a groomer which is why he asked me but I dont deal with cats- Im figuring its an allergic reaction from something that was possibly on the collar or some kinda Mange but why would the Mange get better once Frontline is applied? If anyone has any suggestions as to what possibly couldve happened please let me know! Once again there was NO sign of fleas once Frontline was applied Cat1 has gotten better and this happens during the summer sometimes.THANK YOU FOR YOUR ANSWERS!!

Hi Michelle,

Hair loss can be a variety of problems. Was the collar a bit tight by chance? Other than that, with hair loss at the neck and base of tail, it sounds like it could be a topical parasite (such as mange), and more are not diagnosed based on sight alone, many of them need skin scraping samples examined under the microscope, however they are generally treated with a topical deworming product, such as Frontline, though it generally takes more than one dose.
It could also be a behavioural problem as well, such as psychogenic alopecia, or hair pulling/chewing or other behavioural problems. If it is deemed behavioural, then medical problems must be ruled out and then a behaviour exam done to try to find the root of the issue, then usually treated with a short-term of behaviour altering medications that are very effective for these sorts of problems.
Though with all this being said, I would be surprised that if one cat had a topical parasite that the other one doesn’t show any evidence of it as they can be quite contagious (mange is also contagious to humans!).
Since it has improved, I would just keep an eye on it, but if/when it does reoccur, I would take the cat(s) in for a check-up.

All the best!

I’ve become desperate, I have 6 kittens and a mama cat the kittens are
over 12 weeks. and there all losing fur starting at there ears. there
mom has it a little worst and it’s spreaed to the head and back of the
neck. i’ve already lost two adult cats to this. (becuase i couldn’t find
them to treat them in time) the two cats got it all over there body, it
spread futher and futher, into there eyes making them blind. there skin
had a bubly red sores, and major hair loss, there skin was shrivled and
may be a some scabs/dry skin.

and i’m trying to treat my existing cat and her kittens, they don’t
have it as bad. I’ve been trying to wash them , keep them well fed with
vitanims, and i’ve tried a few home remedies on there ears. which may
have slowed it, cuase it hasn’t spread like the others.

I’ve went to vets here, there not much help, they just say bring them
in for tests and won’t even talk about it. and they want me to bring
each cat in one by one, and the price keeps getting higher and higher. and
i really can’t afford it.

so do you know of a home rememdy or have a Non prescibed medicine or
dip, shampoo, anything, that I can use on the mama cat -probably under
6lbs and kittens that are 12 weeks?

please help

Hi, ignore that last answer unless the sores are distinctly ROUND. Ring worm brings a near perfect circle-like sore and doesn’t bleed. Mange would be bleeding if they are scratching it.

Try a footbath with organic unfiltered Mary Bragg Apple Cider Vinegar 1 cup in a bit under a gallon of water and chage it for the mama, fresh. If you can’t get apple cider vinegar, try Heinz, white distilled.

Do it once or twice a day, let them sit in the solution for a few minutes then rinse. They will not smell great for a while but at least they won’t be hurting.

For the existing irritation, you can buy a Calendula ointment and apply topically. Neither of these treatments will hurt them as they are all natural and way cheaper than the Vet.

You can get the apple cider vinegar and calendula at a Natural food store like Whole Foods.

I have 3 cats they are all fixed and get their shots regularly and they seem healthy. However, there is a cat that one of my neighbors moved off and left that I feed. The neighbors that left it come and put food out for it every once in awhile but they are elderly and they don’t ever put enough food out for it. It gets in fights all the time with other neighborhood cats and my grandfather said it looked like it had the mange. I don’t want my cats to get it too. I don’t know what to do. I can barely afford to take my own cats to the vet. I hate to call animal control because the neighbors still own the cat, but I will if It comes down to it. What are the symptoms of mange and can cats get it?

Mange is an infestation of mites. While it is more commonly seen in dogs, cats can: and indeed do get mange.

Basically there are two different types of mange: Sarcoptic mange caused by sarcoptic mites and Demodectic mange caused by demodex mites.

Symptoms include:

Patches of hairloss on the skin, redness, swelling and overall irritation. Demodectic mange is usually found in the facial and ear areas of the animal, while Sarcoptic can be found anywhere in the body.

Another fungal infection that could be causing problems is ringworm. It typically exhibits the same kinds of symptoms although not throughout the body.

Sarcoptic mange is also very contagious between animals and ringworm can be transferred to humans.

If the animal does have mange:

By not-treating the problem the owner is actually comitting an act of animal cruelty through neglect.

However; the SPCA is also aware that elderly people have a really hard time getting around in some cases and won’t always prosecute.

If you decide to call, ask if you can bring the cat in yourself and if they would be willing to treat the animal and return it to the old lady.

You may also want to talk to her personally before filing. She may be medically incapable of taking this animal to a vet, and you could offer to help take it to the veterinarian for her.

Hope this helps!

Edit:

I should also state that the diagnosis of mange/ringworm is done through a skin scraping analysis. Basically a veterinarian will scrape off a tiny portion under the skin and check for the mites/bacteria under a microscope.

Generally demodex mites are long/narrow looking microscopically, while sarcoptic mites are rounder and more oval shaped.

After the skin scraping analysis is done, the veterinarian will check to see how bad the infestation is, what part of the life-cycle the mites are under and perscribe to have oral/antibiotic drops and toppical dips to solve the problem.

They will also probably want the animal back in for a post-eval. just to be sure that the infestation is indeed gone.
