You'll want to be sure finish all medications and treatment prescribed by your doctor. You'll notice that Alaska will have let discomfort, redness, itchiness, and may be feeling more relaxed. Over time, the fur will grow back in and might not even be able to see signs of a preexisting condition. However, mange can be recurrent, so you'll want to be sure to keep a close relationship with your doctor until you have diagnostic tests to confirm that treatment is no longer needed.
