How do I use Dermisil for Pet Mange ?

Dermisil for Pet Mange is very concentrated and is added to your favorite shampoo along with water. The animal is washed with the shampoo for 5-7 minutes, washed off, dried and then treated again in 5-7 day intervals until the mange outbreak is eliminated. Generally in two to four weeks.

What you need to start treating your pet for cheyletiella, sarcoptic and demodex mange mites:

• A 30ml bottle of Dermisil for Pet Mange liquid
• 2 ounces water
• 5 ounces of a shampoo of your choice (baby, pet, or human). We recommend our Dermisil Herbal Pet Shampoo.
• Plastic gloves
• Wash basin
• Toothbrush

For 60ml bottles double the ingredients.

Mixing the Shampoo

1. Pour 5 ounces of shampoo into a disposable container large enough to hold 8-10 ounces of fluid, along with 2 ounces of water. Add the Dermisil for Pet Mange 30ml (1 ounce) to the shampoo and water mixture. This makes 8 ounces of shampoo. You may use 1/3 of it now and save 2/3 for the next three applications.
2. Stir very well for two minutes.
3. If the shampoo you are using is very thick, then you can add some more water to the mixture until it is a good consistency to apply to the animal.

The shampoo may stain concrete, clothing, or other materials. Always wear gloves when applying the liquid as it has a drying effect on the skin.

The additive will make the shampoo a yellow color. Do not be alarmed if your pet is a light color, and after the bath it has a yellow tinge. The yellow color will fade in a few hours.

Shampoo Bathing Instructions

1. Place the animal in a deep sink or wash basin and pre-wash the pet with plain shampoo to remove oils and dirt. This will allow the treatment to penetrate the scabies infestation better.

2. Apply the Dermisil for Pet Mange shampoo.

3. Work the shampoo into the coat, adding a little water to help spread it through the hair.

4. Apply it well throughout your pet's hair being careful not to get the shampoo in the eyes or mouth of your pet. You want all hair and skin to be covered in the shampoo.

5. Use your fingers to massage the shampoo into the inside and outside of the ears, around the mouth, and under the chin.

6. Use a toothbrush to scrub the shampoo around your pet's nails and between the toes.

7. Wash off the shampoo mixture after three minutes.

8. If your pet is badly infected with mites, allow the mixture to sit on the coat for 5-7 minutes.

9. Rinse lightly.

10. Hold the head back during rinsing to avoid getting any of the shampoo into the eyes. Use a cloth to help remove any shampoo residue.

11. Rinse your pet off. The rinse water will run clear, but your pet may still have a yellow tinge to its coat. This color disappears after a few hours.

1. Squeeze as much of the water from the coat with your hands as possible.

2. Do not towel dry the animal. You want the coat to dry with a small amount of residue from the treatment.

3. Dry the inside of the ears and around the eyes.

4. Blow dry your pet. Until the coat is dry, do not allow the animal to lick itself, if at all possible.

1. Repeat same as above in 5 days.

2. Repeat again in 5 days.

3. Assess the skin condition after another 5 days and if necessary, repeat again.

4. Continue to bath the pet every 10-14 days until the skin is completely clear of scabs.

1. Once the skin is clear of any lesions, shampoo your animal once a month, rinsing completely and drying as you would normally as part of maintenance program.

2. At the same time as you are bathing, you must clean the environment of the mites with a antimicrobial scabacide such as BenzaRid.

• NEVER make the shampoo stronger than recommended. Stronger solutions may burn the skin.
• Clean all bedding and sleeping areas, floors etc with an antimicrobial scabacide/mitacide such as BenzaRid
• You must shampoo all areas of the animal including around the mouth, eyes, ears, and feet.
• The yellowness of the lime sulfur fades quickly so do not panic.
• Even if only one animal shows signs of scabies lesions, all animals must be treated and the environment cleaned.
• Never "Pre-mix" the liquid and store for more than one month as it will lose its effectiveness on the shelf.

NEVER apply Dermisil for Pet Mange liquid to humans, and kittens or puppies under two months of age. NEVER apply Dermisil for Pet Mange liquid to mucous membranes or to the eyes of any animal.
