Treatment of canine scabies
If the disease is usually mild heals spontaneously. (Ointment Goodwinol) and applied on the skin daily. In some cases, these wounds heal by themselves, but may worsen before they improve. The number of mites should be reduced after only four weeks of treatment.
If the number of mites has not reduced, the disease should probably be treated as a form widespread. If a dog develops generalized demodicosis, more aggressive treatment is necessary. Although treatment is recommended, studies show that 30% to 50% of widespread cases of scabies is cured recover on their own without any treatment.
As a first step in the treatment of generalized form of scabies should starting treatment with a prescription product, called Amitraz (Mitaban-Upjohn). Amitraz dips should be applied every two weeks. Before starting treatment it is recommended that long and medium breeds for long-haired dogs be clipped short, so the solution may contact the skin. First you wash the dog thoroughly with an antibacterial shampoo, such as benzoyl peroxide shampoo and towel dry the dog thoroughly. Before washing your dog with benzoyl peroxide shampoo should be applied ophthalmic ointment protection in the eyes of the pet. After drying the dog, apply the Amitraz. Do not forget to wear protective gloves for the application of amitraz. Let your pet dry air after falling Amitraz. You may also want to administer an antibiotic to control secondary infections of the skin. This treatment requires between 4 and 14 dives made at intervals of 2 weeks. Skin scrapings should be examined for mites after every 4 dives. Treatment should continue until there are mites after two consecutive treatments. Dogs with generalized mange may be considered cured only after one year from the last treatment, if not mites are found during this period. As side effects of Amitraz dips, some dogs may feel nausea or sedation.
Some dogs do not respond to this treatment. Ivemectin Although not approved for the treatment of demodectic mange, this is used by some veterinarians as a treatment for this disease. In some cases, this medicine is working well. Large daily doses of liquid ivermectin must be administered so that the active ingredient should be effective against the mite Demodex. This should only be administered under close veterinary supervision. A second option if it falls amitraz is not working for your dog is Interceptor or moxidectin. This is may be more Ivemectin effective. No matter what treatment you choose to treat your dog for mange, you should first talk with a veterinarian.
