On Cancer Treatment. Pet Diagnosed With Parasitic Mange. What Is The Chance Of Me Getting It?
i think that i have contracted a parasitic mange known as demodex any way we bought a new puppy and he developed this condition some months later then i was treated for a liver growth with cancer meds my hair has now started falling out, ialso know that treatment itself can cause hairloss ,but they told me that should have happened a few weeks into the treatment; however; it didn t start falling until the treatment was discontinued. do you think that i could have acquired his mange parasite as the result of my weakened immune system?
Hi,
On cancer treatment generally patients are asked to avoid overcrowded places in fear of catching infections. I do not know the exact treatment you are receiving but for being at safer side you should maintain a safe distance from your pet, at least up to treatment completion, anyway your hair loss is not related to infection or infestation.
