I bought a baby pitbull terrier from a horrible woman. She said she had Wormed him & given him parvo shot herself. I found out after I called her the next day bc of all the worms that he was only 5 weeks old! He has been sick ever since I brought him home. My little min pin wouldn't have anything to do with him & now I wonder if she could smell the sickness. Took him to vet almost 3 weeks ago & he had hookworms roundworms whipworms & coccidia. He was so sick. I gave him Albon for 10 days & during this time he was itching & his hair coming out. I thought maybe allergic reaction to the meds. But it kept getting worse & the only time he had a flea on him was when I bathed him the 1st time & he was covered. Well last week I started itching & bumps on my back stomach arms & legs. I Googled & realized I thought he had sarcoptic mange. I took him to vet again today & he still had some hookworms & he did the skin scrape & I was right. He has it & I have scabies. He told me Lucian would be dead if I hadn't taken him from her.
we are in this together now & I got some of the paramite dip for him & Sonja my min pin.
I need to know since he got treated on the back of the neck today & I am going to dip Sonja & I guess use RID for lice on myself, should I go ahead now & disinfect my carpets, couch, bed etc? I am going to crate the dogs & read about boric acid for the carpets for fleas. Will this work on mites too? And the 20 mule borax detergent to wash bed sheets, pet bedding & towels I've been using to clean their cages. Will regular furniture polish & regular mop & glow for my tile in kitchens & bathrooms kill them? If anybody knows what to do please let me know. I also have 2 cats & 1 is pregnant so I was wondering if that boric acid stuff is safe.
Also, since I caught this from my puppy am I contagious to other people and/or animals?
