Itchy Business
Good news for raccoon #0028. He’s a long term patient we are treating for sarcoptic mange. He’s looking brighter and his appetite has improved since he’s been in treatment. If you are concerned about an animal who has mange, please give us a call. There are several options for ways to help an animal with this condition. Mange is common in foxes and raccoons, but other animals can get it too. Observable symptoms include loss of fur, seeing the animal scratching, and wounds on the body (from the incessant scratching). The good news is that it responds well to treatment, giving the animal relief from a very cruel infection. If you see an animal you think has the condition, we are happy to advise.
