mange" ell "feline scabies" på google.com
Catworld.co.uk skriver flg om mange (skab)
"Notoedric mange
Also known as feline scabies, this mange is caused by a mite called
Notoedres cati. For some strange reason, though mange is exceedingly common
in dogs, feline mange has virtually disappeared. In fact, in all my years as
a vet I've never seen a case. However, it is still occasionally seen and,
like most infections, could make a comeback at any time. It causes very
itchy skin with scabs and crusting on the ears, face, neck and feet. If it
does occur, apart from any necessary mite treatment, homoeopathic Sulphur
may help the itching. Calendula and Hypericum would soothe and heal the skin
(applied as an ointment) and herbal echinacea would boost the immune system
to help prevent re-infection."

(Feline Scabies)
Notoedric mange is the scabby, scaley, skin disease resulting from infection
by the feline mite Notoedres cati. Notoedres mites are closely related to
Sarcoptic mange mites of dogs and thus the two infections have some
similarity. Both conditions typically begin with itchy crusts and scales an
the ear margins. Notoedric mange progresses to involve the face and
ultimately, if the skin disease is ignored, it will cover the cat's entire
body. The term "scabies" is somewhat colloquial and refers to a mite
infection with any of the mites in Sarcoptidae family. In the United
States, this infection is considered rare with regional "hot beds" of
infection. Many veterinary dermatologists never see this condition in their
entire careers. The Southern California area, however, is such a hot bed
and here the infection is very common. Our practice sees at least one case
of Notoedric mange each month."
