Toxic versus Non Toxic Mange Treatment
A good effective Mange Treatment will depend on if your pet has Demodectic Mange or Sarcoptic Mange. Another factor on what mange treatment you should consider also depends on how severe the mange symptoms are. There are many mange home remedies on the internet; therefore beware before you try. Your loving pet may be a risk and perhaps die if you are not very careful.
Whatever mange treatment you decide on, it should always be a two step process if you want to help your pet the best way. You should first treat the infection if it is present and then second, you need to use a mange treatment that will kill the mange mites that are causing your pet to itch and misery. Knowing what to do is the first step.
Demodectic Mange is much harder to treat than Sarcoptic Mange because infection is usually present. Symptoms of infection consist of red inflammed skin and your pet has a foul smell. If it has a septic smell, chances are your pet has infection. Infection usually follows a mange mite infestation because the mange mites are burrowed deep into the hair follicles. The feces and body parts from the mites is what causes the infection.
You want to get control of the infection right away. You can most likely do that by using non toxic topical products currently on the market by people who specialize in mange treatments. Your pets immune system can’t fight the infection at this point and it needs help by using non toxic products such as medicated body washes made of benzalchonium chloride. Beware of toxic products or mange treatments that is so strong, it will burn your pets already inflammed skin! You want to stop the infection as quickly as possible and not cause more skin problems. If the infection is bad enough, the infection could get into your pets blood stream and your pet would then have to be treated orally with antibiotics.
You also want an effective mange treatment to kill the mites. Beware of toxic treatments or mange home remedies that tell you to dip your dog in toxic dips or oral toxic medications such as ivermectin. These toxic products reduces your pets immune system even more and make your pet sicker. So don’t make it worse for your pet… The mites are present in the first place because your pets immune system has already been compromised; your pet can’t fight off the mites.
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.
Whether you are treating for Demodectic or Sarcoptic Mange, your pets Mange treatment should continue several weeks after symptoms stop and you begin seeing the hair growing back. I also recommend putting your pet on a good vitamin to boost it’s immune system.
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.
