Home Remedy for Mange

Symptoms of Canine Sarcoptic Mange

The less common and often easier to treat form of mange usually begins on ears and elbows. It then spreads down the legs. For more detail on this, and a list of WHAT NOT TO DO, such as Ivermectin, cortisone and vaccinations, see Canine Scabies.

Symptoms of Demodectic Mange in Dogs

In relatively minor cases, there will be several small patches of hair loss. For puppies its usually around the head area. The patches get a little scaly and may not itch at all. If the dog is relatively healthy, the spots spontaneously heal. You can help them heal faster by putting tea tree oil on them.

In tougher cases the whole body is involved and does not spontaneously heal.

Home Remedy for Mange

Now here's where a few of you will give me the finger, make a funny sound under your breath and click away, but the best and only real lifelong cure for dogs with mange is:

A better diet! Preferably raw, but homemade with added enzymes or a real top notch dog food.

In the meantime, your dog needs the addition of specialized supplements to;

• Cleanse
• Build blood
• Support Immune System

An excellent choice for dogs with mange is:

Nature's Sunshine Astragalus #40-1 - This stimulates ' resting ' immune cells in to action. Encourages ' stem cell ' production in bone marrow and lymph tissue. Increases production of immunoglobulins, macrophages, T cells and killer cells.

Another very good choice to use topically is Tea tree Oil (Stock # 1777-1) also at the above link.

Spray Home Remedy for Mange

Here is the homemade spray recipe for topical use:

• 1/4th cup hydrogen peroxide (the 3% solution)
• 3/4 cup water
• six drops tea tree oil, lavender oil, cedar oil or any of the three

Shake ingredients in a spray bottle and use twice a day.

Cause of Mange in Dogs

Why would I talk about food and dog health supplements instead of medicine? Mange is the direct result of a very toxic liver, resulting in unclean blood, and a compromised immune system.

A demodectic mange mite usually lives a relatively quiet life on ALL dog's skin. The problem happens when the immune system becomes weak. That weakness usually starts in the liver; the unhealthy liver then passes along unclean blood which then breaks down the immune system. Then the quiet little demodectic mange mites have an environment to thrive in, and boy can they have a party!

Every cell of the body gets replaced, every organ of the body can heal itself if there is excellent nutritional help.

What About Demotectic Mange in Puppies?

Because they inherit the same weaknesses, they are set up for that nasty dog mange mite party. Feed them nutritious food and supplement with the right herbs so they will have a lifetime of health! Just contact me and give me the age and breed of your dog so I can suggest the best supplements individually.

Demodectic Mange In Dogs, My Own Sad Story

My very first dog, Gretchen the Great Dane, was dignosed with this type of canine mange when she was still a pup. I took her to the vet for a chemical bath more often than I care to remember.

Her body was covered with pus and blood filled bumps and lumps which I now know was probably a staph infection brought on by the harsh chemicals and low immune system. Coupled with many rounds of antibiotics, curing mange took over a year. My dog was left with half fur and half scar tissue.

As it turned out, her mother had it and we were never told. (It probably showed shortly after having the puppies because the pregnancy depleted what was left of her immunity.)

Gretchen was the only pup from her litter to live past 6 months of age. Had I known about a home remedy for mange, my baby would have had a much happier, healthier life.

My sweet dog died of lung cancer at the age of six. Unknowingly I set her up by depleting what was left of her immune system with the harsh treatments. And bless my vet. I adored the man and he did what he knew, what he'd been taught. I also believe if he had been exposed to holistic medicine, he would have learned everything he could.
