Strange but true, use Almond oil, yes the stuff you use for cooking, three times a day, just use cotton batten and dab it on him. It worked like a charm for mine, and he smells nice when its done.

Your vet should've given you a dose of Revolution or Advantge Multi (I believe its Advantix in the US). Either of those do sarcoptic or demodectic mange as well as fleas, worms, heartworm as the other poster mentioned. That is your BEST route and not that expensive. Here in Canada, Advantage Multi which I recently purchased, large dog formula, 6 pack was about $100, and you'd only need one dose, maybe two to be sure.

Hi! First i'd invest in Tea-Tree Oil Shampoo for your puppy. (The best i've found can be purchased online at http://www.drbronner.com/drb_sai_liquids.html - I know it says it's liquid soap, but it can be used as a shampoo. The stuff is amazing!) Then I'd buy either Tea-Tree, Geranium, or Citronella Essential Oil. Place a few drops of this on the puppies collar or on a bandana (do NOT place directly on the puppies skin: it will burn!). These oils are a natural repellant for mites, fleas, and ticks.
It's much less expensive, and far safer than using mite, flea, and tick medication - which is poisionious and can be fatal if given in the wrong dosage, or if the puppy manages to chew on his flea collar or lick the medication off his skin.
I hope this completely solves your problem! All the best to you and your puppy!

Using some tea tree oil in pet shampoo/ baby shampoo/ liquid castille soap will kill the mites, but it should NOT be used near her eyes. I'd use something vet recommended for the face area and shampoo her with shampoo-tea tree stuff. It'll soothe her sores and make her feel better too (it's very healing). You can even keep using it to kill fleas on her later. The dip can be dangerous for puppies; I don't blame you for not wanting it done again.

Do a search on Dirtdoc.com. Don't know about mites but he has a lot of advise going organic for controlling fleas, etc. on dogs and the lawn. I haven't tried them yet because it's not flea season here yet in west Texas.

You can ask for Revolution or Advantage Multi from your vet. If you use it monthly it will treat and prevent your pup from getting the scabies mange mite. Your vet should be able to sell you one of those. It will also treat intestinal worms and fleas and prevent heartworms.

Perhaps you could call a local vet.or humane society and take the pet in and ask him for a shot of ivomec. It works on many cases of mites.

Some mites (mites are mange) are contagious to humans ! Cough up the $ and get her to the vet. There are no effective home remedies for this.
