just buy amitraz bath chemical or spray, it costs about 2k, forget that vinegar/aloe vera treatment for now.
use the chemical when you want to bath him or if it's the spray you buy, you can just spray on him and rub, it will dry up within a few days.

ivermectin And Amitraz are control drugs...some sell it though....just like some chemist sell Valium and postinor but standard vet drug store won’t sell it to u unless they know you as a vet or vet apprentice

If you ar lucky to get someone to sell it to u...all well and good...:don’t administer it urself based on what u read on the pack ...let a vet guide u.....

On the other hand... there’s a local parole a vet gave me for my Lhasa...it’s sulphur and red oil..mixed together..it takes a while but it worked wonders..

amitraz is sold in every standard vet shop without restrictions tho, it's not a drug it's more of a chemical you can easily purchase.

use the water to bathe the dog and don't let the dog drink it.
I prefer mixing it inside water then pouring it on his body after bathing it, it's more effective and economical.
after you've poured it, leave it for some minutes then rinse it off.
don't let the dog drink the water, if you want to apply it on the dog's face, wet a rag and clean it.
and you can also mix a little in water and use a rag to clean the mange sores every 2days till they clear.

Bro, use izal and palm oil on the affected area. It sounds absurd and stuff, but it’s what have been using for my dogs over the years and it has never failed me!!!

Mange is something that happens inside the body , and it's really stubborn . Injection is the best option tbh
actually, mange is caused by mites which means it's external.
it can be eradicated through chemicals to kill the mites or injections to make the dog's body not to be compatible with the mites.
I use amitraz to bathe my dog every week and he rarely has mange, the few times he does, once I bathe him it'll clear within 2 days

my dog has been dealing with mange for almost two months now , even after receiving drugs and taking two shots of ivermectin . I still rub her funbact A cream though , but it seems to always reappear most times , is amitrax dangerous? And where can I buy it?



PS I think I know you from a telegram group .

Thanks for all the advice. I have been using the amitraz and spray for three days now. It is drying up some of the mange appears crusty whlie some appears bloody. It's just my dog Sabi para for the spray..

For the person always saying injection. I have gone that path. And it came back with full force.
I try and post pix later
Re: I Beg Help My Dog Has Mange by samnaija: 11:03am On Jul 13, 2019
All the vet will always give injection. But with what is on this dog. Your personal time must be given no vet will do that for u.

amitraz can cost as little as 2k for a bottle that will last for months.
and it's not dangerous as far as you don't let your dog drink it, just mix 4ml per liter of water and wet the dog's body after a bath then leave for a few minutes and rinse off.
you can just mix like 2-3 liters for each use.
if the sores are already full blown,then every 2days mix few drops of it in water and clean the sores.
don't let your dog drink it and don't leave it on your dog's body if not your dog might be tempted to lick it off.
always rinse it off after some minutes.
and yes I'm in the telegram group too wink

well yeah you can do that too but it's no different from the method I told you except you'd use more of it.
the method I told you is equally effective and also economical, you can do it however you prefer tho, it will work either way
Re: I Beg Help My Dog Has Mange by samnaija: 9:50am On Jul 19, 2019
Just an update. After a week plus the amitraz is finished so also the spray. It has dried up. So mostly scales and white hair keeps falling off

finished so soon? were you using it everyday?
and at least it's clearing but you still have to keep on using it till it clears then you can use only for prevention since your dog gets mange frequently.
also mix small amitraz with water and clean where you dog sleeps, but don't let the dog in until it has dried to avoid ingestion
Re: I Beg Help My Dog Has Mange by samnaija: 9:54am On Jul 19, 2019
I was told the white hair were the dead hair well I have decided to continue with palmoil and izal. My pet shop advice me to continue with that.
Also I have seen alot of videos online using just coconut oil.

I would love to. But I have to monitor the feeding pattern of my dog. He was not eating much before . But now his appetite is back .
