Dog Mange Treatment
If you have a dog, you will sooner of later deal with mange. That’s why you must be prepared to remedy this problem as soon as it occurs. Mange is a skin disease caused by parasites that dwell on your dog’s skin. The mange is contagious for both you and your dog. Not to mention the fact that not treating the mange will make your dog undesirable and less atractive, because his body will be covered by wounds, scabs, blisters, and he will suffer hair loss in certain damaged parts.
The most important fact you need to know that trying to remedy the mange must not be done by yourself. Seek veterinary advice imediately. It is crucial to discover in time the exact type of mange and treat it accordingly. There are three types of mange, each one having different symptoms and effects.
The first one, named cheyletiella, isn’t that serious. Its symptoms are easily noticed, because the dog’s body will have areas covered with a light dandruff. The dog will scratch himself because the damaged area itches a lot.
The second one, named sarcoptic, is more severe. Your dog will scratch uncontrollably and his fur will have high hair loss problems. Be careful when caring for your dog, because this type of mange is contagious to humans. Pay extra attention to the vet’s advice on how to treat this type of mange.
The third one, named demodetic, appears especially in young dogs and pups. It is caused by the demodex mite. This type of mange can also be a result of a genetic immune deficiency in some dog breeds. Some breeds seem more susceptible to this kind of mange, others may never get infested by it. The affected areas of lesions are the face, the muzzle, the periorbital eye regions. These damaged areas will present skin thickening and dry secretions. The vet will most certainly advice you to get some antibiotics.
Again, i must stress the fact that you need to get advice from a specialised veterinarian. He will give you an antibiotic and ointment prescription. You should also ask him about the effects of the mange on yourself, so you can properly use gloves, etc.
And most of all, don’t treat your dog as a rejected, don’t ignore him. Don’t stop showing him love and care and do your best to cure him of mange.
