<\/span><\/h3>\nCertain essential oils also seem to be helpful when it comes to curing a puppy that has caught mange. Two common examples are neem oil and geranium oil. Both possess antiparasitic, antifungal, and antibacterial properties.<\/p>\n
They can be applied topically to localized scabies or added a few drops to a bowl of water to use as a rinse.<\/p>\n
Some commercial dog shampoos may contain these or other oils among their active ingredients.<\/p>\n

In addition, borax can be very drying to the skin, which ends up worsening the irritation and affecting the animal’s recovery.<\/p>\n
