Finding a cure for mange with non-toxic mange medicine can sometimes seem to be an impossible task. This disease, caused by mite infestation, is first noticed on dogs when they start scratching intensely and hair starts falling out. It can also be found in some other animals as well as humans. In humans it is called Demodicosis which is not difficult to cure as mites find it difficult to remain on the human body.

There are different, specific types of mange mites. The Red Mange Mites, Demodectic Mange Mites (which infect cats) and Scarcopic Mange Mites. The latter type is the most infectious. The severity of the infection in dogs is usually shown by loss of hair in a small patch of skin or on the majority parts of the body.

The mange areas can become crusty and even bleed if the animal continues scratching. It's obvious that some treatment program must be put in place if a life threatening condition is to be prevented. Veterinary care can be very expensive when the condition reaches this stage.

There are a number of treatments available for consideration. One used by many veterinarians and which can be used at home is the Mitaban Dip. This medication is approved by the FDA, comes in concentrated form and just needs to be mixed with warm water. The animal is then bathed in a medicated shampoo with the dip following. However, it has been found that this dip is toxic to some dogs and can cause severe side effects. When this happens, even more medicine must be administered.

If home medication and treatment does not bring about a cure, the condition can become life threatening. In this case a veterinarian must be called. Antibiotics, Amitraz Dips and other oral medications might be required. Again, there is no assurance that some dogs might not react favorable to this treatment as each one is different.

Records show that the oldest known and very effective, treatment for this disease is dipping. When treating the animal in this manner usually an anti-bacterial or anti-itch shampoo proceeds the dipping. Dipping takes some time and effort but a check of the Internet will find peoples' testimonials of various home methods that worked when all else failed.

These people have recommended a home remedy of borax (found in store's laundry soap department), peroxide and warm water. Many have reported that by combining this mixture and dipping their animal on a continuous basis destroyed the mites and led to the regaining of hair with no further indication of itching or discomfort. However, it must be remembered that any home remedy should be thoroughly investigated before trying, preferably by talking directly with someone who has used it.

Seeing a pet suffer is one of the most difficult times in a person's life. When it has a disease, such as mange, it is apparent that they are in utter misery. One wishes to bring about a cure but, at the same time, does not wish to initiate treatment that will cause even more problems. That is why it is important to cure mange with a non toxic mange medicine.
