Here is one on Amazon.
We got one for our cats, and it's truly great. Works better on our short haired cat than on our long haired cat.

One of my friends has this bowl and swears by it, but I've never used it for my own cats. Water comes out of the top when they push down on the top part so it's not supposed to spill. I'm not sure if you've already tried something like this but hopefully it helps!
Try using these things. They're actually brushes, but they're super gentle on the kitty and it makes them feel like you're just petting them. They may not be quite as good as a Furminator brush, but for general maintenance it should work!
Ours is too! We bought this anti-drip dog bowl bowl off of Amazon and it helped so much!

I use the gloves twice a week and a rake that I just bought at pet smart called “Chi for dogs double sided shedding rake”. I had read a few post about using a rake from other people on reddit and decided to give it a try.
You need to get something like this [Upgrade Version] Pet Grooming Glove - Gentle Deshedding Brush Glove - Efficient Pet Hair Remover - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9KSITZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_HT3T4TCVT6WNJMYK6MN4
Your cat will enjoy the petting and it’ll collect a lot of the hair.
Morph market is probably your best bet. You're going to be out of luck for getting a hatchling at this point in time. Most of the ones available now are going to going to be yearlings or 6-7+ months old. But breeding season is kicking in. If you want to wait until May/June, there will be a large influx of hoggies on the market then.

I use Chlorhexidine as my cleaner. I buy it from amazon in a gallon jug. https://www.amazon.com/Chlorhexidine-Horses-Dogs-One-Gallon/dp/B000HHNZVW/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=chlorhexidine&qid=1611235408&sr=8-5
I think the ratio is 1 tablespoon per gallon of water so the stuff lasts forever. It does lose effectiveness after a couple weeks so you'll need to make a fresh batch from time to time.

This really helped with my golden who used to have the same issue!
I always get mine at Tractor Supply - but boot stores or western tack stores will have them too. Don't overpay. Saddle soap is, at most, $5 for a big can and the mink oil is around $2.50 for a tub.
These are what you're looking for - Fiebing's Yellow Saddle Soap, 12 Oz. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GRSVTK4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_pryrybEQFBMRC

Amazon is high dollar on these things it appears.
Obviously a little late now, but something we do in our float trips is use 5 gallon buckets with screw on gamma lids. These are super useful for all the loose items you would have in dry bags or trash bags, but are much easier to strap down in a canoe. A little less useful for the kayaks. Just something to consider for the next trip! You can get the lids on Amazon or Home Depot for less than $8 a piece. Here’s a link to what I’m talking about for convenience.

I meant where it could be found. But yep, I just verified it can be purchased on Amazon (hopefully still ships to you)

Maybe try some keywords like "horse worm paste"
Brush your dogs coat more often. Amazon sells a great product that my Alice loves. Essentially they are gloves designed to remove excess hair.

This is the one I picked up. Hoping it'll work, it doesn't mention mange on the page but it is the same medicine.
My guy keeps getting worse so I'm hoping it'll be soon enough for his fur to grow back and survive. If I could get him to sleep on a blanket or something I would but I don't think squirrels really get into that kind of thing lol.
Are they the standard oil tanned black work leather?
If so, it's not really designed to be "shined". However, if you want it anyways, some people have success clearing off some of the oils on the surface with saddle soap, then doing a standard shine with wax polish.
Ideally, if you want a black leather that can be shined, you should get a custom build made with their black dress leather instead (assuming you currently have the oil tanned stuff.)
If you're having problems with cleaning your hides, go into your local vet and ask if you can buy Chlorhexidine from them. It's what they use to clean and sterilize their tools and cages, and works wonders for getting rid of odors and cleaning up. You can order the generic from Amazon, but sometimes vets will give you the "for Vets only" stuff.) Chlorhexidine on Amazon
Don't worry about swapping out hides too much, unless you're doing it all the time. Too much swapping can cause stress, but changes every once in a while will encourage exploration. :D
Got it....
I ask because I did take the Amazon Ivermectin orally once to kill the demodex internally as well. Its 100% OK for human consumption. A lot of users have reported doing this for either demodex or scabies. I was desperate and I did it. Im 100% OK and it worked in conjunction with topical application of the same product.
This is the brand I purchased, squeezed a 200lb dose and swallowed it before bed. It tastes like the worst apple chapstick ever. I dont know if its the oral dose or the topical dose that helped but it did....
After I finish the soolantra, i doubt I will purchase it again from the pharmacy. I will continue to purchase the medication linked above as its stronger and much much cheaper.
Good luck, bro!
I ordered two of the three pack on amazon for a total of 6 tubes.

After cleansing at night, I apply a mixture of 1/2 moisturizing + 1/2 horse paste to my face. My moisturizer contains tea tree oil and jojoba which seem to work like a charm with the HP. Here’s a link for that too if you’re interested:

Saddle Soap is often the intermediate step between Lexol and Renomat.
You might try Grooming Gloves. I have a cat that hates being brushed and tolerated, even likes these because it is just like being petted.
I’m really not. Ivermectin is in fact one of the things most commonly found in “horse paste” and beyond that the paper saying that it could be used as a solution to Covid was a pre-print that said it’s use was only good as a last ditch effort until specialized therpy could be found. And the MAGA yokels eating actual horse pasted which contained ivermectin caused a shortage for veterinary used so… yes… people were actually eating literal horse paste.
Don’t assume you know anything about me or where I get my information from.
It is a pet grooming glove! They are wonderful and extremely effective (she says most effective I have for her feet). I'm not sure if those are the exact ones, but it looks like they are, but you can find them at any pet store or just search pet grooming glove and a myriad of choices will pop up! XD
There are a lot of good suggestions here. This is what I would do:
1) Put a cone on that dog
2) Call your vet follow their instructions
3) If it might be environmental allergies, wash the dogs paws down with chlorhexidine 2% solution further diluted following manufacturer recommendations. This is the decontamination solution recommended by Dr. Erin Perry for canines.
4) Apply QuickDerm by VetCare daily until the would heals
Have you tried different types of brushes? Mine tolerates the grooming glove best. Look around for best rated one, but here is the first search result: here
I had rescue kittens who were almost feral and I purchased the love glove from Amazon. They don’t want to be held but they want to be petted and now demand grooming.

I use this GAMMA2 Gamma Seal Lid - Pet Food Storage Container Lids - Fits 3.5, 5, 6, & 7 Gallon Buckets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0089QJQTS/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_EMF8A5F84RV28TEH67JQ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 It works great for us.
We have had our GSD for 3.5 years through the ups and downs of scratching we tried litterly everything we could think of from diet to furnace filter to vacuuming everyday and vet visits, he was on cytopoint for 2 years that worked great but as allergy season came around this year we had a chance to try something new, his last cytopoint was the end of December, as he started itching his legs and arms this I started thinking, he would never let me brush his arms with a brush as it would most likely be uncomfortable and wouldn't get much hair off him at all. For 3 years we have been thinking he had seasonal allergies or food allergies but we never gave up.
These gloves are so amazing at getting the hair off the arms legs and just overall back. We do use a deshedding brush and a regular brush so far he hasn't itched other then a normal itch and stops. For anyone wanting to try something new give this a try it worked for us and he's now enjoying everything that was taken away due to thinking it was allergies.

Or try to find a Gamma 2 lid for that bucket (I think 5 gallons will hold 40 pounds of rice). Tractor Supply carries it in the States.
Cis girl here to share tips.
Let your stylist know you want to grow it out. They’ll take a look at your hair and tell you how often you’ll need regular trims to keep it healthy while growing it. They can also recommend products to use wile growing out (Mane & Tail legit works great). mane & tail
Good point. If I do do the bucket, I'll make my own. Perhaps using a Gamma2 lid, and some $25 fermenting weights. But back to what I really want to know: how important is it that I get the perfect anaerobic seal of the crock? (would a little bit of air seeping in doom me to kham yeast?)
