How Do You Treat A Dogs Demodectic Mange?
Demodectic mange most often affects puppies. The mites are transferred from the mother to puppies during the first few days of life and most puppies can keep the mites in check. However, in some cases, dogs with compromised immune systems or puppies whose immune systems are still developing will experience problems such as hair loss and secondary infections. Wait it out. Many dogs, particularly those with localized mange or a single small area, recover without intervention. You should still consult with a vet for a proper diagnosis and you’ll need to watch your dog for signs of infections or the mange becoming generalized. Feed a high quality food. Demodex indicates an immune problem so you want to do everything you can to help support the immune system. Many people find that a raw, home cooked or high quality, all-natural kibble can help the dog’s immune response to the mites. Shampoo your dog with miticide formulas. Your vet may prescribe a shampoo or you can try natural remedies lik
