One of my females looks like she may have mange. She has a couple of spots that are very thin haired and her ears hardly have any hair on them. Another female has sores on her rear hips. I am including a pic. Not sure if this is also mange. What is the best treatment for mange and best medicine for this sore? Thanks in advance

Paramite.
It is what is used as a "dip"
Wear rubber gloves and sponge onto the dog to kill mites and fleas.
Treat the bald and thin areas with nu-stock to get hair to grow back.

Well With a Sore like that FIRST thing i would Do was See a VET
Also you didnt Say if you HAD been treating it and with what.....
Now if you had treated it before it got that bad with Iodine and maybe some lamasil ????? or a good antifungal Cream???
The nu-stock works great!

Best thing to treat mange with is Ivomectrin injectable 1/10 cc per 10 lbs give orally

The sore just appeared over the last 2 days. Noticed it yesterday when I was feeding. I know it wasn't anything near this bad the day before cause she always rolls over so I can rub her belly and I would have noticed it. I can't give her ivomec cause she is preg and due in 2 weeks. The other female that I strongly suspect has mange was given Ivomec last Friday (how long does it take?). I am using hydrocortisone cream on the female with the sore....if it doesn't improve or if it worsens in the next day I will get her to the vet. I probably don't wanna dip her with a sore like that I am sure. Thanks

Now that I think about it I wonder if the sore isn't a reaction to sevin dust I put on her a week or so ago to help control ticks. May have caused her skin to dry out and itch.

I don't know how old she is, but due in two weeks, or old age will sometimes cause this as the dog is not completely controlling her bladder.
You will see this break out on both sides of an old females dogs rear, sometimes permanently especially if the bed is wood and the urine has soaked in it.
Put some mineral oil, or, coal oil (kerosene) on it mixed with a little sulphur if you have any, and it will not hurt her pups.

Just my guess!!!

I brought her in and gave her a bath in diluted bleach water and have been keeping it coated with bag balm. Also cleaned and disenfected her dog box. She definitely isn't any worse today....possibly a bit better.

How did she get, and have you had any pups yet?

She apparently didn't take cause she was due on the 15th. I gave her a dose of Ivomec so once it enters the bloodstream she should clear up. The other female has cleared up nicely and is looking much better after her dose of Ivomec ( took about a week ).

Sorry about the pups but that sounds like the ivermect worked out ok for you.
