The Transformation of Crusty Malone – Episode 3

OK, so here we are 6 weeks after we started treating Crusty. He IS growing hair, but still has some way to go before he’s out of the woods. You can see how long a process it is to treat dog mange! I think I messed up by trying to do this with less ivermectin. I should have done 1 dose every 2 weeks, three times. We probably would have been further along. He’ll get his third ivermectin dose tomorrow, as he has new crusty lesions on his head and today I detected tape worms (yuck). He continues to get sulpur homeopathic drops daily, plus the mange dip once a week. It is possible, apparently, to treat this condition without the use of toxic agents like ivermectin, but it can take a very long time (up to 6 months), which is not an option for me; plus also for that he needs twice daily remedies and because he’s a street dog with a large territory we can never find him twice per day. Hence we have opted for the allopathic route.

Question by pow chicka wow wow!: what are some signs and symptoms of heartworms in dogs?
and how can they get them?

Best answer:

Answer by Bonzie12
Symptoms of heartworm are the result of the maturing heartworm larvae and adult heartworms in the heart. The presence of the heartworm in the heart results in irritation of the heart and blood vessel walls causing thickening and blockage of blood flow. Sometimes heartworms can lodge in the liver blood vessels and result in liver failure. Heartworm symptoms in the dog can take years to show up. It usually starts of as a mild cough which most owners dismiss as unimportant but then gradually worsens to include symptoms like fatigue, more severe coughing and breathing difficulties. If left untreated, it will result in the eventual death of the animal. The more heartworms there are in the system the more severe the heartworm symptoms are. If the liver is involved, then other symptoms will include jaundice, loss of appetite and collapse.

Question by Brooke: How quickly does ringworm look like classic ringworm?
My 1yr. old has an almost perfect circle on his cheek and it’s red. It just appeared today and has not gone away. I also have a dog in the house that was diagnosed with ringworm last week and is now on medication. I’m scared that my little guy has caught the ringworm from my dog…but I can’t tell for sure if that’s what it is.

It is extremely dry in our house so the spot could also be just a dry patch of skin. How long does it take to notice if it’s just a typical dry patch or if it’s something more?

Best answer:

Answer by kah35
I think it’s ringworm. My preschooler had it a few years ago. Take him to a doctor as soon as possible for a prescription. My son still has a a slight scar from the ringworm.
