So now we are repeating that putting used motor oil on a dog is a good idea? For F's sake man, LOOK it up, their are many treatment for mange that wont be dangerous to the dog. Dog's lick themselves people. One of those treatments is Olive Oil, now doesn't that sound a little more like a good idea then poisonous motor oil. Even new motor oil would be a better idea then something that has had 100's of gallons of byproduct of gas burn ram through it. I'm not saying use new motor oil, just saying that would be a better option then used motor oil. I feel I owe it to all the doggies out there, don't do this to your dog. Use the internet, there are so many treatments for mange it is hard to count.

Some people claim motor oil will get rid of
mange mites. However, this horrible mange treatment method is extremely dangerous and harmful to your pet’s health and well-being.
Q-Based Healthcare does not recommend or support this method of mange mite treatment in any way. The motor oil can enter the animal’s blood stream through open wounds and lesions and can result in respiratory failure, cancer or even death.
Motor oil is known to have been used as a home remedy for mange. In some cases motor oil will kill the mange mites however it will not be able to help with the mange mite eggs. Once the mange mite eggs hatch they would have mange all over again.
Also motor oil can be very toxic to your pet if it enters the blood stream. Motor can cause convulsions, vomiting, constipation, lethargy, diarrhea, asthmatic breathing and even death. Here at Q-Based Healthcare, we strongly suggest against the use of motor oil as a treatment for mange. We do offer a completely safe and nontoxic mange solution.
