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.
