Unfortunately there are a few different types of mange. Without a scraping of the area from a veterinarian it would be impossible to tell which type of mange your puppy has. Each cause has a different treatment.

Rather than wasting money on treatments that may or may not work it is better to take your dog in for a skin scraping.

If you can not afford treatment you can check out these sites. Their main goal is to help financially strapped individuals pay for medical treatment of their companion animals.

I hope this information is helpful to you. Again it is not recommended to treat a dog, or any animal for mange without knowing the exact cause.

Sincerely

Bunny
