My puppy has mange. Can I treat it at home without a vet visit?

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.

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'm very sorry Pretty Girl has sarcoptic mange! Unfortunately the only way to cure it is with medication from the vet. That's the only safe and proven effective treatment. I would see if you can borrow money from family and friends to afford the vet, and I can give you some resources that may help. You can see if your vet accepts payment plans, if there is a low cost clinic in your area, or you can apply for Care Credit online. There is also an organization called Red Rover that give grants for treatment of sick animals, and you can see if you qualify for one of their grants. Best Friends also has a list of resources that offer financial assistance on their website. http://www.humanesociety.org/animals/resources/tips/trouble_affording_pet.html?credit=web_id91754962 https://www.redrover.org https://www.carecredit.com http://bestfriends.org/resources/financial-aid-pets http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com/when-pet-owners-cant-afford-veterinary-bills/ http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ I hope one of these resources helps you afford the treatment, good luck!

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.

Sulfur lime dip can be used but unfortunately the efficacy is not so reliable (https://www.chewy.com/vet-basics-lime-sulfur-dip/dp/163590). If not working properly a specific medications for mange is required at your local veterinarian.

Hello. You can try over the counter medications for fleas/mange (Products like Revolution, Advantage, etc.), or dewormers can be tried. If this is Distemper then unfortunately Yokyok needs very intensive care, and even with that he could die, it is a very severe virus. Try the over the counter products for fleas/mange/worms first to see if this helps. Best of luck with Yokyok.

I am sorry to hear that Potchie is not feeling well. It sounds like there may be more than just mange causing these symptoms. Unfortunately, she likely needs antibiotic therapy and veterinary care and without it, she may continue to suffer and worsen. For the mange, I would recommend using a product that contains SELAMECTIN such as Revolution or something comparable in your area that you can get from your local pet store. In addition to the mange medication, I would also recommend using a shampoo such as Douxo PS Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved as well as Malacetic Conditioning spray and apply twice daily until resolved. I hope this helps and that Potchie gets better soon! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
