Many dog owners look at their dogs infected with mites and worry about infecting themselves. In fact, this worry is unnecessary. The mites that grow on dogs are not the same as the mites that grow on humans and are not common to humans and animals. Therefore, when the dog at home is infected with mites, it will not be infected to humans. But it can be transmitted to other animals, such as kittens and other small dogs. Also, mites in dogs can cause discomfort and can be a health hazard in serious cases. So when we find out that your dog is infected with mites, it is important to get treatment in time.
First we need to isolate the dog alone. Mites are a highly contagious skin disease, and even just close contact is a high risk of infection. So to prevent the dog from infecting other animals, isolation is required. We can put the dog in a separate room, and the owner should pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the room, not too much humidity. To disinfect the room from time to time, including the dog’s sleeping place and the toys used, etc.. During this period, the number of times the dog goes outside should be reduced to prevent the dog from being repeatedly infected by outside filth.
Next we need to sterilize the dog. The first thing to do is to prepare the needed utensils, including ear drops, hemostats, and cotton. Wrap cotton around the hemostat and gently dip it into the ear drops so that you can clean the dog’s ear wax. Then put the ear drops into the dog’s ears and gently rub the roots for a while so that the dog will shake the dirt out, and then wipe the dirt left on the ears with the cotton.
Finally, we need to pay attention to daily cleaning. During this time when the dog is infected with mites, we have to continuously maintain the hygiene of the dog’s kennel and remember not to allow the dog to have contact with other animals. During the high period of infectious diseases, try not to take your dog outside to play on the grass, and keep in sterilization. Keep the whole house clean and tidy. After bathing your dog, blow its fur clean in time, a humid environment is perfect for mites to grow.
