Mange is easily treatable, with a range of drugs, including Ivermectin which is readily available and extremely cheap, but we use Nexgard or Nexgard Spectra as this has the additional benefits of fighting off ticks, fleas, intestinal worms and some cases of heartworm.  Sadly, too many strays suffer from Mange, and their appearance, although easily remedied, is often interpreted by the public as something much worse, and they don't tend to intervene.

The solution of malnourishment is the right kind of restorative food, and plenty of it!  We feed all new rescues and puppies 3 times per day using Aozi organic canned food.  This is not cheap.  Some dogs like Bilbo need specialized food, which costs considerably more.  Click here to find out how you can help us feed all our inmates!
