I woke up happy today when I seen Daryl and no new hair loss or scratching! There are no new sores or wounds! I did A LOT of research this last weekend about how I can effectively help Daryl to be comfortable while waiting on his treatment and I found something that I believe is working! Although this little regimen I am doing does not cure the mites it does help with the itching and from what I understand will kill some of them!
I have been cleaning his face and leg area with Neosporin would cleaner! It is actually a liquid Neosporin cleaner that has a pump to turn it into foam! It is for children so it does not sting at all and of course it cleans the area. I apply the Neosporin directly to the areas and using a cotton ball to gently pat it on there!
After the Neosporin I apply Virgin Coconut Oil! If you know about coconut oil you know it has healing qualities! Coconut oil also has a good penetrating property meaning it penetrates the skin deep down! It will not kill the mites but it will slow them down.
I have been using this regimen for a few days now and have applied it about 6 times and as I said above he must not be itchy anymore because there is no new blood on the skin or new hair loss! This makes me extremely happy! I will continue to do this even after the treatment because it will help to heal the skin and hopefully help new hair growth to come in faster!
Besides the Neosporin and Coconut Oil I have also made him a new cage and have stopped using wood bedding and am now using fleece instead! I have to say he seems a lot happier and more active! I will be doing a new video on the cage possibly later on today so be sure to check back sometime later to catch that!
