Either my dog has mange or he is really shedding badly. If shedding is the issue then I can easily brush him and care for him but mange, I heard that is can take all the dogs hair of of them. What can I do to properly home treat my dog if he has mange? Is mange contagious to humans? Sorry for the stupid nieve questions. Just need to know answers right now. Am a Concerned pet owner. I know my next option would take him the the animal hospital. Any one with good, positive, influential, informative, and detailed answers, gets chosen and given the ten points. Thanks so much.

There are 2 types of mange dogs get, Demodectic - which is not contagious to humans, and Sarcoptic - which is contagious to humans (causes Scabies). Both are caused by microscopic parasites in the skin. The only way to treat either, or know for sure which one it is, is to go to your vet. They will do a skin scraping and look at it under a microscope, and then give you the appropriate medication. Good luck

costly God. WHY did you bathe him in peroxide and borax?!?! for sure it did no longer paintings! i'm hoping to God your Vet did no longer propose you do this! you have probably poisoned your canine. do no longer provide COOKING OIL!! WTF do you think of you're doing? you will kill your canine, what you're doing is flat out stupid. Why did you undertake this canine in case you should no longer arise with the money for it? for sure he had mange previous to adoption, so which you won't be able to say you probably did no longer understand he did no longer have mange once to procure the canine. You KNEW there could be a duty to shield it, and you failed. Demodex is brought about with the help of a compromised immune gadget. Feed intense high quality nutrition, upload salmon oil or diet E to the canine nutrition plan. quit SELF TREATING!
