Give the dog some salmon oil, a little olive oil on the food, a raw egg.It is treated from the inside. Something is lacking in the diet to dry the skin out, like oils.
The scabies is caused by a small parasitic mite that can be cured with medication from your vet. It will likely be prescribed in a shampoo that you bathe your dog with once or twice a week. Once the mites are cured, the skin condition should improve, but make sure that your pup is getting a high-quality, grain free food, as most dogs have dry skin due to diet issues.You can also squeeze in a gel capsule of Fish Oil, which should help her coat and skin recover from the infection. And after the mites, don't bathe your dog more than once a month (unless they roll in something gross), because that can also cause very dry skin. Use a soothing shampoo, usually with Aloe, which will keep the skin from drying out when you do bath her.
The hair must be clipped away from affected area the pet has to be bathed using a benzoyl peroxide shampoo which will loosen scales and makes it possible for an insecticide dip to penetrate the hair pores.*It must be treated under veterinary supervision.
