My poor 5-month Rough Collie has mange. There's a spot on his right toe and another the side of the same foot. I've been using Nu-Stock Ointment to cure him, but he keeps licking it off. I tried wrapping bandages around it, but he rips those off too. Any other suggestions? How long before this infection will be gone?
My dog had it on his back. It looked so painful and full of pus. I nursed him like I would have nursed my baby. The only difference is his was on his back so he was unable to lick the medicine off. If possible try asking a vet for an antiseptic spray they will taste nasty. I think they have that. Also, you can try an E collar or muzzle for a few hrs out of the day. Even though that will make them uncomfortable it will give the antibiotic a chance to work on the wound.
We had that with our dog, and we had him checked by a vet too, but he died after suffering from it for more than a year, and he was hairless all over for more than a year. He had lots of ticks too. I suggest to keep an eye on him and consult a vet as soon as the spots get bigger.
