hello all,
my grandson age 2y 9mos has contracted mange from a stray dog. he
has had a large bald spot on the side of his head for months and
several
smaller ones. at first we thought it was ringworm and treated it with
over the counter antifungals. we also tried cs topically, though his
mother is not particularly consistant.
when we realized the puppy had mange we
treated him with 2 shots of ivermecton (sp) one week apart and the pup
was cured. i currently have access to these shots, but have been
reluctant to use them on the child because this child had severe
reactions to immunizations and was hospitalized. we have also tried a
topical liquid from the feed store, but the smell is such that the
child
becomes ill and headachy. he went to the doctor today who prescribed
Grifulvin-v also know as Griseofulvin (an antifungal).
the doctor is concerned about using this medication orally for
more
than 2 mos as it can cause liver "problems" and reaction to the sun as
well as many possible side effects. however, this medication ususally
takes at leas 2 mos to work and he (doctor) too is concerned about this
child having a reaction.
i thought that perhaps members of this group would have some ideas
as to other, more natural and less dangerous options to try before we
give this oral prescription.
thanks in advance for sharing your wisdom.
blessings,
julie m
