Generic mange, demodex, cannot be cured. However with appropriate treatment you can get rid of all the symptoms and never know she had it. As shebages, she does have potential to exhibit the signs again ifbshe gets sick or stressed but it is easy to control. It is not contagious and these puppies do very well. I would.l not let this stop you from getting her!!
