what do I use to help my puppy that is 3 months old or so????

I was just needing to know if someone could tell me what I can use (household item(s) to help my puppy clear up mange it is a big area on the top of her head. It does look a little better but, it is not cleared up all the way, which I have not put anything on her.  Only because I am not sure what is safe or what should be used to clear it up.   Thank you.... P.S.  Anyone know someone that is looking for a baby rabbit(s) I breed them.  Contact me @ ***@****

are you dealing with? Sarcoptic (contagious) or Demodex (non-contagious)? Very different problems...

I agree with the others-a vet asap. It can spread and be harder to treat. Also, if you have other animals, they can get it. I'm not sure about humans, but that's always a concern. Best of luck.

The only way to really clear it up is by a prescription from your vet.  Go see them.

Mange is not something you should fool around with.  There are types that are very serious if they get a good foothold.  It is not common for healthy, normal, indoor puppies to get mange, so get him/her to a vet asap.  Seriously.

  
Its part of your responsibility as a pet owner.

You really should take her to see a vet. Putting household products on her can cause a problem.

Wish you the best.
