Mange is one of the most contagious skin diseases that dogs can have. The mites that produce it multiply so much and so fast that If the animal is not kept isolated and the house very clean, it is easy for humans and other furry that live with it to also end up sick.
To avoid this, it is very important to take him immediately to the vet for a drug treatment. But to speed up the healing process, we recommend that you continue reading to know how to treat mange in dogs with home remedies.
Feed him quality food
The first thing we recommend is give him a high-quality diet that does not contain cereals. In this way, the immune system will be able to better fight the disease, which will allow the dog to recover as soon as possible.
Treat it with medicinal plants
While there are plants that are toxic to the dog, there are others that are very beneficial and that will help fight mange, such as neem tree (scientific name Azaradichta indica) or the niaouli (Melaleuca quinnervia). Both have antibacterial and antiseptic properties, so you will be able to recover well.
Use olive oil to eliminate mites
Put a few drops of this oil on the affected areas. In this way, the mites that cause the scabies disease will no longer be able to cause discomfort. Incidentally, the skin will rehydrate and regain its health.
Bathe your dog with natural white soap
If you bathe him once a week until he recovers with a natural white soap suitable for dogs, the scabies will gradually disappear. Wear latex gloves to avoid contagion, and let it act for about five minutes.
Remember that for the treatment to be successful it is necessary to combine it with the medications indicated by the veterinarian.
