Hi CrazyMouse ...
Your post in the other thread says:
" ... My friends and I found a 5 week old puppy with mange... it's called scabies I think. Anyway, the vet only gace some pills and an injection, no shampoo or dips? So I ask another vet, she sold me sulphur shampoo to bath it with ... I'm caring for the pup now and in my care, I have 2 puppies, The other pup is a 3 month old puppy, brought him to the vet and was told he has fungus so the vet gave some pills and a jab. Although only 3 days after the vet visit, the pup now has new hairless sores, some got brownish crusty spots... at first he only had 3 hairless small spots... now got 4 more whihc are sither yellowins or brownish crusty spots..... so is it mange? He is also under the sulphur shampoo ..."
And my response was:
Scabies or sarcoptic mange is very infectious ... Your vet should also have told you that to control sarcoptic mange, you must do the following:
(a) Clean, disinfect the floor, all bedding, towels ... etc ... (b) You must keep the infected pup separate from other animals. Pups particularly are easily infected by sarcoptic mange.
You should NOT keep a pup with scabies together with other pups ... Scarcoptic mange can also affect people - so be careful and make sure you wash your hands after handling the pup.
Check these websites:
www.critturs.com/mange2.html
www.google.com.my/search?hl=en&q=Scabies+scarcoptic+mange+&btnG=Google+Search&meta=
I think you had better take ALL the pups to the vet and have them examined.
Please read the websites provided above ... I also posted that keeping the pups a few inches apart may not isolate the mange, especially if you are not careful, and you (or anyone else) handle one pup after the other ... humans can be the vector that pass the mange from one pup to another!!!
The symptoms you describe sound suspiciously like sarcoptic mange infection ... A vet please - you need to get the pup to a vet ... borrow a car, borrow a friend - anything ... get your pup to a vet ...
And this time - remember to ask the vet how to control & prevent the spreading of scabies.
You seriously need to clean up all the areas where your pups have been, including all bedding, towels etc etc ...
