Non Toxic Mange Treatment

Posted by Wendell Ruben

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.

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.

The reason that Demodectic Mange is much harder to treat than Sarcoptic Mange is because the mange mites are buried deep into the hair folicles while Sarcopitc Mange Mites burrow themselves just below the first few layers of skin. A mange treatment for Sarcoptic mange will usually last about 2 weeks, while treating mange for demodectic mange can last months.

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.

As part of a mange treatment, you should Isolate your pet from your children and other pets until the mange symptoms go away. Wash your pets bedding daily and don’t allow your pets to sleep with your family members because mange mites are contagious.
