    NO!!!!!!!! I am sure you will get all kinds of great ones on here!!! From dumping Ivermectin on it to the "motor oil" treatment.

    GO TO THE VET, or take the cat to a shelter so it can be treated or euthanized. Now is not the time to be cheap!!!!!!

    Hi there...unfortunately there isn't any way to treat notoedric mange other than medically. It's best to not self-treat as this could become more problematic later.

    There are several options on how to best treat notoedric mange such as shaving the cats fur then treated with lime sulfur baths or Amitraz dips, injection of Ivermectin, or a topical treatment of Selamectin, etc.

    Mange treatment options:

    no cats are very suseptable to various reactions to over the counter meds. you should have the cat properly diagnosed by a vet and have them treat it accordingly. most cats do not get mange, are you sure it's not fleas or ringworm? if you treat the wrong thing if you're not sure, then you could make matters worse.

    No. You'll really need a vet to treat that to et the proper type of medication becuase there are actually several types of mange.

    mange is everywhere in the dominican republic where i live and when our pets get mange we bring them into the ocean as salt water clears it up REALLY fast and it costs no money and no vet visits u need to get them into the salt water AT LEAST one time a day its better if u take them 2-3 times a day but none the less salt water clears mange up very fast

    No, cats are too sensitive-don't risk it-take it to the vet.
