I see him in my yard once or twice a week. Could meat scraps (hotdog pieces?) have Ivermectin tablets inserted to treat the condition?

I know some wildlife agencies have medicated K-9s with treated baits before I think it was rabies but meds are meds it should work. I worm the critters around here with cattle deworming meds often with no issues. Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that! Jerry Herbst

The injectable 1% ivermectin would probably work better, but could kill the pups if he regurgitated it for them. Once the pups are older, 1/10 to 1.5/10ths of a cc would work. Keith

From my experience it is totally fatal without intervention or treatment with Ivermectin. It causes considerable hair loss over time and eventual death due to hyperthermia and other health conditions related to the mite infection. Animals in southern climates would fare much better due to the weather conditions. Bob, I’ve seen, with my own eyes, coyotes recover from the mange. Large patches of what was bare, blue skin, had their fur regrown. Wish I had taken pics of it, but back then, no one had a cell phone in their pocket! Notice that I said coyotes. It is my opinion that fox are dead if they get close to it, they just may not know it!
