Toxic versus Non Toxic Mange Treatment

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.

You want to find an effective and good Mange Treatment for Demodectic Mange and Sarcoptic Mange. Treating for both is basically a two step process. You treat the infection if it is present and your mange treatment needs to kill the mange mites that is causing your pet misery. Treating for mange is pretty easy if you know what to do.

If your pet has a septic smell, chances are it has an infection. If you treat the infection quickly, you will be able to handle the task just fine by using only topical non toxic products that heals the skin. A product would be an antimicrobial medicated body wash made of benzalchonium chloride or mange creams that include MSM. Treating your pet with toxic mange dips will usually burn the skin, make your pet sicker and your pet could die. If the infection gets out of hand, your pet may require oral antibiotics.

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.
