My puppy has mange. Can I treat it at home without a vet visit?

Question

I think my puppy has mange ... is there a way to get rid of it at home ? Pet's info: Dog | Rottweiler | Male | unneutered | 4 lbs

Unfortunately not. Mange has to be diagnosed by a vet by looking for the mites under a microscope. It is then treated with prescription medication and the vet will need to ensure the infestation is all clear before discontinuing treatment. It's also best to have a vet evaluate him, because it's possible that Cinnamon could have another condition besides mange.
