My 5-month-old Airedale puppy has mites. What OTC treatment?

Use an oatmeal type bath. This will help to moisturize the skin. You may also ask your veterinarian about using a special prescription shampoo which can help to clear out the pores and may be somewhat effective against the mites (though you need to continue your current treatment). I hope this helps and please feel free to post any additional questions.

Oh no, that's not good! I would have Rocky seen by a vet to confirm that he does have mites, which the vet can diagnose with skin scrapings. Treatment depends on if he has sarcoptic mange or demodex mange. Medications and shampoos can be administered at home for sarcoptic manage depending on the treatment used, but must be prescribed by a veterinarian before use. All animals in the house must be treated, and the home must be disinfected as well. Demodex mange can also be treated at home with medications from the veterinarian. Because sarcoptic mange is so itchy, anti-itch shampoos or medications such as anti-histamines may be recommended by the veterinarian to help relieve the itchiness. Dogs affected with sarcoptic mange must be isolated from other animals in the home. There are several different medications that can be used to treat sarcoptic mange. Ivermectin is a common medication, but it must be given only by a veterinarian. Selemectin (Revolution), Moxidectin (Advantage Multi), amitraz washes, and 2% lime sulpher washes can be used as well. Generalized demodex mange involves treating any underlying systemic illness, antibiotics for skin infection, amitraz dips, milbemycin, and ivermectin, which is given by the veterinarian. Ivermectin treatment has to been given for 90-120 days, and should be used for one month past resolution of symptoms. Amitraz dips should be given every two weeks for between six to 14 dips, and should continue for one month after mites are not found on skin scrapings.

Unfortunately, ear mites are treated with a prescription from your vet, and your vet will need to confirm mites by looking at the ears under a scope. If you can't get to your vet, seeing if one does house call services, or getting a friend to give you a ride is best. Ear mites can be transmitted back and forth between pets as well, so if you have more that one pet, treating everyone at once can help ensure they are taken care of. Keeping the ears clean and dry and preventing Daisy from scratching at them can also help until you can get to your vet.

You will need to take Noah to the vet, there are some excellent prescription products to treat ear mites with 100% success, this should not cost much either just the price of the consultation and the ear mite treatment (probably under 100$).

You would need to get a skin scrape at your vet's first to confirm it is indeed mites (it could be many other things). my preferred medication for mites is Bravecto although Advocate and Ivermectin are good options as well.

The best treatment for mites in Rabbits is Ivermectin drops, you might be able to find them over the counter in pet shops, otherwise at the vet's. regarding the bedding i would recommend throwing away everything you can and washing very well in high temperature everything you cannot.

They are cute! Mites prefer to stay on the dogs rather than people because dogs have a higher body temperature than people. That probably is why you don't have them. If the mites are not going away I would bathe the black one, Toby?, with flea shampoo. The ear mite medication you can get from your veterinarian may be more effective than what you get at the pet store. I like to use Revolution. Controlling the mites and fleas will also reduce the itching from his allergies. Luckily the parasites don't like your white dog, they seem to prefer certain ones over others.
