Treatment of Mange in Horses. Treatment of mange in horses typically involves a combination of topical or systemic medications and supportive care. It is essential to consult a veterinarian for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan. Here are some standard treatment approaches for equine mange:
Mange is an intensely itchy skin disease caused by four different genera of parasitic mites--- Chorioptes, Demodex, Psoroptes, and Sarciotes. Mites are microscopic acarids that live on or in, and feed off of, the skin of their host.
Treatment . There are no products licensed specifically for Chorioptic mange in the horse however the following products can be used under the cascade system. Doramectin (Dectomax) – a single injection should reduce the mite load by over 95%, and often provide relief within 4-7 days.
Treatment of both types is the same including topical insecticides, lime sulphur dip, or oral ivermectin. These mites are contagious to other horses and humans so take precaution to decrease spread of mites and treat all contact animals.
• Complete elimination of mites may require treating all horses on the property at the same time and disinfecting stables and allowing them time to rest (at least 70 days). • Clipping feathers may help in application of treatments but it is unlikely to cure the problem on its own.
