Once you’ve spotted mange, diagnosed mange, and treated mange, you’re on the road to recovery. The road can be a long one, though. The battle against mange isn’t over. There are seven things that you can do to make the recovery process a good one.

1. Treating the mange is your life saver. Do it. Don’t skimp on treatments. This is the first and most important thing you should do for your pet. Just stick with the treatments. Use only as directed. Do what the doctor ordered. Treat.
2. Clean everything. Put your washing machine, garden hose, and soap to good use. Now is the time to clean everything as well as you can. Wash everything that your pet sleeps on, walks on, and plays with. That may include washing the HVAC system using a professional cleaning service, getting the carpets professionally cleaned, and making sure that the dog house has been sanitized. Get things clean.
3. Stick close to home and take it easy. A sick pet needs to just chill for a while. The mange recovery phase may not be a good time to take a vacation, go on any long hikes, or start a new training regimen.
4. Keep the stress levels low. Animals can get stressed out, too. When they do, recovery takes a lot longer. To keep the stress levels down, keep a consistent schedule, and don’t hire a new pet-sitter. Just keep things as normal as possible.
5. Buy some nice food. Now is the time to upgrade your pet food. Don’t skimp on food and drink. Your pet needs good nutrition if it is going to recover. It’s up to you to provide it.
6. Stay away from infected animals. To avoid getting mange again, steer clear of any other animals with mange-like symptoms. You don’t want to risk it.
7. Be patient. A full-fledged recovery from mange may take as long as four or five months. There’s nothing you can do to rush it. All you can do is take good care of your pet. Your patience will pay off, however, and soon enough, your pet will be healthy again.
