Thank you guys! um…im not SURE if its notoedric mange but i’ve researched it and its really close to it..kittens fur is missing and skin is crusty and bad ..and we cant pet her bcuz we will itch …

Yipes! Definitely needs to be taken care of:

"How is notoedric mange treated?
There are several possible treatments available for Notoedric Mange:

•Semi & longhaired cats may need to be clipped. Cleansing of the area to soften thick crusts, followed by a weekly lime sulfur dip.
•Amitraz has been shown to be another successful dip, this product hasn’t been approved for use on cats though.
•Ivermectin. This is given by injection. It hasn’t been approved for use in cats, although reports are that it is safe. According to the Merck website, it has been known to cause death in kittens.
•Revolution: This product is typically a flea & worm product but has shown to be effective on notoedric mange.

If one cat in your household has been diagnosed with this condition then all cats should be treated, even if they show no signs of infection.

Can I catch notoedric mange from my cat?
Yes, although in humans notoedric mites only cause self limiting disease & usually resolve without the need for treatment."

Whilte treatments are being had, please remember to wash ALL bedding, blankets, vacuum and steam-clean floors (and clean them out outside).

Poor li’l kitty cat! Good luck! Thank God it’s treatable!! ))

My cat of ~5years has begun repeatedly scratching and biting herself to the point where she has skin lesions. I’ve looked online and it she seems to have contracted Notoedric Mange from a stray. I can’t afford to bring her in to a hospital, so I’ve looked online and found that I should bathe her with medicated shampoo, and apply Lymdyp (or Amitraz) on the infected spots after. What type of medicated shampoo should I avoid? (I.e. is there any type of chemicals I should not use in conjunction with the Lymdyp/Amitraz?) Also, would it be possible to treat her with Ivermectin as well? (If so, is there a special way to do it –i.e- should I treat her topically or orally?) In addition, how long should I treat my cat with each medication? [7 Baths {Once a week} for Lymdyp and 1 month with the Ivermectin is what I’ve read online)
Any kind of help would be great, this has persisted for about 3 weeks and I would really like to see her get better.

I dont know about any of those things i dont know if you have a job or what not but the cat should really go to the vet a few vets around provide payment plans ring around and find out i didn”t enough money to take my kitten to the vet and she passed away
i know this probley didn’t help but hope she goes ok

The cat I trapped today, Feral, 1-3 years old is infected with Notoedric Mange, mites living under the skin. He also has FIV positive. I was hoping to neuter him, find him a home, but now, not sure what to do. I have two pets, living in an apartment, I have the cat in the cage in my bathroom. What should I do, would it be wise to release him, but he still needs two ongoing treatments for the mage, revolution (according to the doctor, but his is the extreme case, usually revolution I thought is for mild mange cases) Anyhow, choices are to ask shelter if they can keep him for a month, until he gets his treatment, and then release him to the same place. Second, to put him to sleep, not release him due to his FIV positive, etc. I don’t know what to do, I can ‘t keep him for the risk it has.

Do not release him till his treatment is done, just keep him seperate – this is CURABLE except the FeLV – if you hanD this cat to a shelter, the only words they hear is FeLV and they”ll put him to sleep.

look up

www.cat-world.com.au/NotoedricMangeInCats.htm

and other sites with the disease name in it, you will get a lot of detailed advice

but she must have been diagnosed by a vet? some of the medications needed can only come from a vet

as scratching makes it worse and helps spread it, clip her claws down flat, toenail clippers do a good job but be careful not to cut into flesh. You might need someone else holding her while you do this as they don’t like their paws being held.

she will survive and you’ll have a lovely pet who is used to constant handling

i was watching a show on tv and i just got curious about it. and was reading that it can be transmitted to humans but i didnt see any treatment for humans. hey u never know someone you know may have it and would wanna help. i would, thx
