Feline Mange - Main Page

Mange is a highly contagious skin disease caused by mites, microscopic parasites that burrow under the skin surface. There are several different kinds of mange, each caused by a different species of mite. In addition to cats, just about any mammal can get mange, as can birds.

A cat with mange looks terrible, and feels even worse. Untreated, mange can kill.

Fortunately, mange is treatable!
