What are some effective treatments for mange?

Someone dumped off a dog on our farm. It's a gentle dog that I hope to find a home for, but it has the mange. I want to treat him, and get him in the best health possible before trying to find him a home. I feel this will up the success rate of finding him a loving home. How can I treat mange on a dog? I have never had a dog get this before. Can it be passed to our other dogs? What about our cats and cattle?

There are three different types of mange in dogs and two of them require veterinary treatment. Cheyletiella is the least serious form of mange. It usually manifests itself with itching and a light dandruff over the dog's head and shoulders. Usually bathing the dog with a medicated shampoo is all that is necessary to treat this type of mange. Sarcoptic mange is more serious, but still very treatable. It can be transmitted to humans, in which case it is called scabies. Sarcoptic mange generally starts with intense itching and some hair loss. Treating with pure coconut oil is effective in these cases.
