I was just brought a 4week old SQ and I think she might have mange. I am wondering what should be the recommended dose and what to use.
She is 45g
have been giving her subQ LRS and giving lots of fluids because she came in all scaly. Picture will be posted soon.

She is itching, crying (screaming), very dry and wrinkly and covered with crusty skin.

you will need Revolution Rx for kittens or cats.
45 grams is pretty small, is she lethargic?
why not oral hydration?
why is she screaming? injuries?
have you ck'ed all her limbs?

Yes oral fluids too. first 36hrs was only pedialite. and subq.
no visible injuries.

she is also kind of "jumping" before she scratches. almost like a hiccup

two drops on a qTIP BETWEEN THE EARS.
no more sodium... sugar water is okay, too much sodium will be counter productive,,,
advised for no more than 24 hours
do you have any Fox Valley formula?
childrens Benedryl?
any urine output?

childrens oral liquid benedryl usually cherry or grape, whtaever they have :thumbsup

are you using goats milk or esbilac GMilk?
I use Dannon All natural Vanilla or stoneyfields Vanilla or Yo baby Vanilla, fresh goatsmilk {Meyerberg brand} in a carton near milk in refridgerated section, PUBLIX has it, or canned Goats milk near coffee/evaporated milk also at Publix..
I don't reco the cream until we have perfect poops.
are you using syringe to feed? get 1 cc syringes to measure meds if not and a few extra to feed with.
I can share supplies until you get them, takes a few days unless overnighting.
I am slow slow typer, apologies.
