I was wondering do you treat any of the monkeys as they must also need treatment when they are injured or have mange etc.

they are too difficult to handle and well beyond our realm of expertise. You don't often see them injured though and the parasite issue is handled by them grooming one another constantly. There might be an organization somewhere in Thailand that is dedicated to the treatment of monkeys but for the most part they are extremely resilient and don't really need this sort of service..
They are also extremely dangerous and their cuteness is a deception. Many people, and mostly foreigners who don't know any better, are hurt by monkeys all the time at this temple because they want to get a pic, sometimes foolishly trying to hold the monkey that then bites them.
