Mange are species specific and not all are contagious so it would help to
know which type was diagnosed. The mange may be able to get on other
animals but all are not going to be able to stay on them. However I
remember in the 80's when my dogs had mange, we went ahead and treated
everybody including the ferret. Best to you and your little one.
