It is wise to determine what kind of mange your pet has; demodectic mange or sarcoptic mange before you decide on a mange treatment. Another factor when deciding on a mange treatment depends on how severe your pets mange symptoms are. Beware… There are many mange home remedies on the internet, there are also traditional very toxic mange dips and oral medications such as ivermectin and there are also very effective topical non toxic mange treatments.
Finding a good Mange Treatment for Demodectic Mange and Sarcoptic Mange is basically a two step process. You treat the infection if it is present and your treatment should kill the mange mites that are causing your pet to itch and tear its skin. This can be a pretty daunting task if you don’t know how to accomplish this task easily and quickly.
Lets talk about a Mange Treatment for Demodectic Mange. Demodectic mange, sometimes also called Demo or Demodex mange most often includes infection. You can usually tell if your dog or cat has infection by just smelling your pet. If it has a septic smell, then it is most likely that your pet has infection. The skin is usually red and perhaps even raw.
A Mange Treatment that will stop the infection as quickly as possible is most often needed because if the infections gets too bad, it could get into your pets blood stream and your pet would then have to be treated orally with antibiotics. This plays a big part on why your pet is not running around and he is not happy.
The trick to a good and effective mange treatment is finding one that is a non toxic topical product. You don’t have to make your pet sicker by applying toxic dips or giving him oral toxic medications such as ivermectin. Why treat the entire pet when you only have to treat him topically? Why bring his immune system down? These toxic dips and oral products reduces your pets immune system even more and it can’t fight bacl. Your pets immune system is usually shot by this time and it is already compromised; that’s why it can’t fight back the mites. So why make it worse?
Sarcoptic Mange does not require a lengthy Mange Treatment and it can usually be corrected within a couple of weeks. The Sarcoptic mites burrow themselves just below the top layer of the skin and they are much easier to reach. In many cases, infection is not present and the dogs immune system is not compromised. There is no need to use harsh toxic dips or oral medications as a Sarcoptic Mange Treatment.
The Mange treatment should continue several weeks after symptoms stop, and the skin has healed and/or hair has started to regrow. It is also suggested that you boost your pets immune system with a good immunity booster.
It is always recommended that you keep your pet that is infested with mange mites to keep them isolated from the other pets. Wash its bedding daily and never allow your pet to sleep with you; or you’ll be scratching too! Mange mites are highly contagious to other pets and your family too.
