What is the Best Treatment for Mange?
At one time or another, most dog owners will deal with mange. However, all mange is not created equal. There are three distinct types, two of which require veterinary treatment. The disease is caused by mites, and a different species causes each type of mange. Cheyletiella is the least serious form of mange. It usually manifests itself in itching and a light dandruff over the dog’s head and shoulders. The mite dies soon after leaving the host, so usually bathing the dog in a medicated shampoo is all that is necessary to treat this type of mange.
