My puppy has mange. What home remedies can I try to help him?

I am so sorry to hear that your puppy Soturi has mange. This can be common in puppies. I understand the cost of veterinary care can be difficult at times, can I suggest exploring this resource to help find affordable pet care? http://m.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html Puppy is itchy and uncomfortable for Soturi and does need medications which are prescribed by a veterinarian to help. An oatmeal bath may help make him temporarily more comfortable. However, the infection will only go away with medicated shampoo from the vet. Best of luck to you both.

Olive oil will not treat mange or soothe her. It is just going to make a mess. It is best for you get veterinary assistance. The chance of this resolving on it's own is very small. I suggest you try a benzoyl peroxide shampoo like this one to help flush the mange mites out of the hair follicles: ( https://pethero.co.za/en/product/benzoyle-peroxide-shampoo/ ) Lather, let it sit for 10 minutes and then rinse. DO NOT get this in their eyes. Wash them every 2-3 days until it seems to be resolving. Once they are at least 8 weeks of age you can use the flea prevention Bravecto every 3-4 weeks. This actually will also treat mange. ( https://pethero.co.za/en/product/bravecto-spot-on-for-dogs/ ) If these two things don't start working in a couple months or they get worse then you need to get them to a vet.

It is hard to treat with that extent without seeing a vet. He would need a skin scraping to diagnose it. The best thing at home is a weekly bath in a shampoo that has benzoyl peroxide as the active ingredient as this flushes the hair follicle. A vet can prescribe a monthly or once every 3 month medication to help get the mange under control if that is what they see

It probably is demodectic mange. I suggest you talk to your vet about putting him on Nexgard or Bravecto. Both are oral flea tablets that coincidentally also treat demodex. Easy to do and relatively inexpensive. They are prescription drugs though so you need to get them from your vet. So much easier than all the things you are doing and it works better. Hope this helps. Best wishes.

First, you need to make sure this is mange. There are 2 types of mange....Demodectic mange is typically found in young puppies or adult dogs with seriously compromised immune systems. Sarcoptic mange can be found in dogs of any age, but is more common in dogs that live outdoors. It is extremely itchy and typically has patterns of hair loss and rash on the edges of the ears, along extremities. The photos you included are not a clear suggestion of either type of mange. There are no successful over the counter remedies for mange. It would be best to see your vet for a proper diagnosis. Your pet may be suffering from allergies, a skin infection, or other issues. Once you know if your dog has mange and which type....they are treated with different medications... or if your dog has something else.. .your veterinarian can get you started off on the right treatment plan.

Unfortunately not. Mange has to be diagnosed by a vet by looking for the mites under a microscope. It is then treated with prescription medication and the vet will need to ensure the infestation is all clear before discontinuing treatment. It's also best to have a vet evaluate him, because it's possible that Cinnamon could have another condition besides mange.

I can give you a home remedy for dandruff, but unfortunately there are no home remedies for mange. Treating mange requires medications from the vet, and I would take Bounty into the vet to discuss the use of medications. As for the dandruff, you can give him an oatmeal bath and supplement him with fish oil. He can get 1,000 mg fish oil containing 300 mg of EPA/DHA combined for every 30 pounds of body weight.
