I'm in complete and total agreement with you. All this baby needs now is more chemicals that I'm sure would kill him.
Take him off of pet food and start feeding him real food, even baby meats and cereals. No commercial treats either. Too many chemical's in pet foods and treats!!!
Though the animal mange mite can live in human skin, it cannot reproduce there, so eventually the problem ends on it's own lasting just a few weeks at most.
A healthy animal is less likely to harbor parasites like fleas, ringworm, and mange mites, therefor proper nutrition and overall care are important preventive measures for both of you.
In addition, frequent grooming and inspection, along with herbal repellents, will catch most of these problems early. Be especially attentive when your animal has been in contact with other pets or is under stress from disease, emotional upset, or a stay in a kennel.
Give a little Vitamin C ascorbate twice a day, E for restoring immune capacity, and lecithin, depending on size.
Thinly slice a whole lemon, including the peel. Add it to 1 pint of near-boiling water and let it steep overnight. The next day, sponge the solution onto the animal's skin and let it dry. You can use this daily for skin problems including involving fleas. It is a source of natural flea-killing substances such as d-limonene and other healing ingredients found in whole lemon.
I hope this helps. Just stay away from all those chemicals that will kill your baby.
