Shitzu Love from Boca Raton, Florida writes: "My concern is if we stop using the remedy they will come back. Currently we are doing this every other day mostly on her paws, legs, stomach, chest and neck. Her back is not really affected. So I am trying not to use all over if not necessary. is this ok? Can I eventually go down to 1x per week indefinitely? What dangers, if any, are there in doing this? What would be another remedy you can recommend to perhaps maintain not having the mites come back. Neem, ACV< diamtous earth??? thank you? "

W.b. from Ottawa, On, Canada writes: "Hi there, I\'ve been reading the posts and am a bit confused as to the exact process to follow when using Borax to kill Sarcoptic mange. We rescued a 3 month old pup from the Dominican and what we thought were irritations and scabs from a flea infestation turned out to be Sarcoptic mange. She is being treated with Revolution, as are my other 2 dogs, but I\'d like to do the Borax dip on all and find out what to use to clean the areas the dog has been (bed, crate, carpet etc. ) Can you tell me the proportions to use and how frequently... Also anyone know how long she needs to be isolated from the other dogs and us? She is so pitiful all alone in the other room :( "

She is still red and hairless on 2 spots on her back and around her neck. I spray her almost everyday and it just doesn\'t seem to be working. What should I see after 2 weeks? Should she still be red on these spots? Her skin is very dark looking. "

Ramya from Mumbai, India writes: "Hi Ted, Cherry, my 5year old labrador-daschund cross has been sufferring from itchiness, sores & vast hairloss ever since she was 1. Antibiotics, medicated washes gave only temporary relief. The worst part was that vets here could nt diagnose her problem! Can u believe that?! I was almost at my wits end. All traumatized \'cause I couldnt bear to see her suffer like this. It is not untill recently that I figured out through my own research that she was suffering from mange. I have finally begun with your treatment. I\'ve done the first application. I plan to do it once a week. Just to not have her to undergo the torture of these chemicals everyday or do u suggest I do it everyday?? I\'m applying a mixture of neem oil & vegetable oil on her skin at night time to moisturize her skin and facilitate hair growth. Let\'s see how this goes... I\'m optimistic \'cause she seems to show improvement. She hasn\'t been scratching much.. Except for a few times. She\'s barking, comes out of her hide-out and waggs her tail occasionally. Thankyou Ted... You are a saviour. I have been yearing since years to see her get back to her normal self. I hope that happens soon.. With your treatment. Thankyou.. God Bless. Ramya "

Restrictedspeed from Kingman, Az, Usa writes: "Hi, I found your website very imformative. I first want to thank you for maintaining the site and giving us all great advice and ability to forum. I have a dog that is about a year old, large mixed breed, looks like a visla lab mix, reddish orange fur and very pink skin. He has mange all over his body from the feet to the belly and sides and legs and around the eyes and mouth. I am using Ted\'s Treatment Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide and water solution but am concerned with the mouth and the eye areas. My dog only has a couple very small areas where a scab or sore has developed, but the areas around the mouth and eyes seem more inflamed as well as around his genital area. Overall the dog just has hair density loss and some slightly proud red flesh around the genitals and the mouth and underarms. We have been doing the treatment for about 8-10 days. 2 on 1 off due to my work schedule away from home overnight. He seems to be itching less and responding well but we do not see major improvement as of yet. My questions are is there an additional treatment I can do around the mouth, eyes and genitals where the flesh has less hair that might be more adhesive to the skin or do you think the borax mix will do the trick? Also I saw some posts on giving some borax in the water is this safe or possible as far as you know. I appreciate any advice or direction you can give me. Mange is new to me and I know red dogs have a more sensitive skin and fur and the coat shows greater irritation. I just want to make sure I am on the right track as not to let it worsen. Thank You, Richard Kingman, Az. restrictedspeed(at)yahoo.com "

Dawn from Merseyside, United Kingdom writes: "A little background info - My boxer bitch is a rescue dog who came with little info beyond that she had come from a very good but divorcing home and no health or special care info beyond \"she has a bath every saturday night\". I thought this just meant she had been a pampered pooch but as I believe bathing so often would strip her natural oils we didn\'t keep this up. Within months she was scratching, wriggling on her back, rubbing up against us and the furniture and took the best relief rubbing along some crappy woodchip paper we have in the hall! I took to brushing her regularly, spraying her with various soothing oils, trying different foods etc. All of which seemed to ease what we thought was just an ongoing sensitive skin issue. We\'ve had humid weather which encouraged a nasty flea explosion and with having another boxer male and two cats you can imagine the sheer amount of flea treatments we\'ve been through. My boxer male also had ear mites which were treated and cleared up without appearing to spread to the other animals but last week the bitch went downhill dramatically with hair falling out, hot spots and incessant itching and flaking skin. I hit the internet and found this site. From all the info here - and the fact that none of the other animals are experiencing her particular problems - I\'ve deduced that she definitely has a mite infestion of some kind if not demodectic mange. Slathering her in mayonnaise resulted in tell-tale bumps and so I decided to try this cure. I got 200ml 6% Hydrogen Peroxide from the local pharmacy (99p) which I\'ve reduced to a 1% solution - as per the pharmacist\'s instructions - by mixing 1 part peroxide to 3 parts distilled water. The distilled water I obtained from my condenser dryer (of all places) and 200ml of this solution added to 2 tablespoons of Borax - obtained on Ebay. Co.Uk (2kg for around Â£9 inc. postage) - gives me the right mix. Mixing up 1 litre of the solutions therefore costs around Â£1.10 and - applied with a spray bottle to drench and spot treat my medium sized boxer - I reckon there is enough in that for 3 treatments. I completely soaked her in the solution yesterday, she calmed down immediately and slept most of the day. The relief from the itching must have heavenly. I\'ve drenched her again today and intend to do this every day for a week then bathe her with Head & Shoulders dandruff shampoo and give a day off. I\'ve also taken photos to compare \"before & after\". As she\'s a brindle her coat makes getting a clear photo nigh on impossible but her belly - once covered with dark downy hair - is bald, sore, flaky and pink so will provide the best example. I appreciate there are no guarantees but I\'m encouraged by the testamonials here and curious to see how she goes. I will post back with an update next week. Thank you to Ted for \"The Cure\" and to everyone who has posted with their personal experiences and examples of their own regimens. Your help in helping me to help my very much-loved dog is invaluable and very much appreciated. "

Daveyo from Nakhon Sawan, Thailand writes: "Greetings: (This message is URGENT) For Ted. Ted, I have a serious crisis as I have 35 Doxie dogs over here. One of them has Scabies Mange (ultra critical) and some others also are beginning to experience the same sympthoms. I am an American, who is a retired viral researcher, worked with a Emeritus DVM in Salt Lake Utah, in 2007 and came up with a cure against Canine Distemper etc and so forth. The cure is official. Anyway I got a problem and need to do dips on all these dogs. 1 cup of 1% of H2O and 2 cups of water, and 3 tablespoons of Borax is not going to do it. I need to submerge the most critical dog into a lot of this such as a tub with enough of your ingredients rising to at least the underbelly and to keep them there for minimum of 30 minutes and soaking this dog with the solution. Also how long should this treatment persist. Days, weeks and how many times per week days etc. I am not about to spend thousands of Baht for some VET as the majority of these VETS are clueless and brainless unless they are certified and bonifide Neurosurgeons. I have had the VET Boards tell me, and Dr. Sears that we are voodoo doctors yet they have seen with their own eyes the dogs are fully cured. Me and Dr. Sears and Dr. Mueller are the only people who have extensive experience against Distemper both body and CNS and at present time pushing to use this official cure regarding Multiple Sclerosis. Yes, same viral and vitro trademarks called Measles. Our cure wipes out this disease in 24 hours especially in the CNS and Brain with absolutely no side effects. We have a book out on this already. Anyway I need your help badly on my current problem. Need your script to cure these dogs of the darn Mite problems. Meaning a tub script!! What name brand here in Thailand goes for Borax??? Where to find it, maybe at a pharmacy??? Dog sizes - about 25 inches long, and stand on average 8 inches. Please write back to me at my e-mail address PurpleWitch2(at)msn.com. Will wait for your reply. Got a good feeling regarding the war against mighty mites. Thanks, Daveyo "

His knuckles and pad on one foot was so bad he wouldnt let it touch the ground. So at first I thought this was all due to fleas. So for a couple of weeks his condition did not improve. Then I researched the \"TERRIBLE SMELL\" and thought it was a shin yeast infection. Nope. Condition worsened!!! Took to the VET and they (A-holes) gave him a steriod which puts mange into OVERDRIVE or it did in our case anyway. So I WAS AT MY END!! So I decided to use the Borax treatment. Well in two day he was running on all four paws barking and playing and he is almost completly recovered!!! I was doing the treatment EVERY OTHER DAY due to the fact that I could no longer watch him suffer and it paid off one thousand percent!!! I called a pet radio station and talked to \"warren\" a national pet show to ask about this treatment. He would not answer. Liability I guess, he kept saying go to the Vet go to the Vet go to the Vet. I told him I did and they made it WORSE!!! He never did give me any feedback so thats why I\'m Typing my story for the next stressed out folks! THIS HAS BEEN THE REAL DEAL!!! DO NOT DELAY OR WORRY ABOUT THE PEROXIDE!

Carolynn from Mi writes: "OMG... I have to tell you.. I used Ted\'s remedy for mange on my adult golden retriever and once... ONCE only.... And let it dry naturally and he was like a puppy again. It was an unbelievable change.. I thought he was just happy to be outside but he was jumping up and catching toys again and playing tug o war with me.. And HE HAD NOT SCRATCHED except once quickly maybe from being outside.. Now that he is in, NOT ONCE... He has had this skin condition for years and years... I have tried Frontline and shampoos for hot spots and I finally admitted to myself that although he doesn\'t scratch 24-7, just 20-7 that it was probably a mange of some sort.. And I went looking for a remedy... His ears had gotten \'smelly\' and poor puppy, would scratch and sometimes till he was raw and then it would seem to subside... I switched diets, fed him yougurt and thought he might be allergic to my cat or a bug... A vet had treated his ears wiht something that cleared it up.. for a week or so and then I had to go right back and spend MORE money to refill the prescription that never lasted the length of time it was supposed to and then they wanted ot do another examination to get the prescription refilled again. Sigh... I was relieved to see that one of the symptoms of mange is an ear condition and I am hoping hoping hoping that this will clear up with his skin... Even as I write this, he is near my feet and resting, no scratching. I will let you know... I want his pretty yellow fur to grow back in and his bushy tail to come back... He is like Bush\'s Baked Beans dog, only blonde... "

Jan from Austin, Tx writes: "This recipe of mixing the borax saturated water with peroxide worked great on my English bulldog, Dooley. I have three bulldogs and unfortunately am familiar with most canine problems. Decided to try this formula on Dooley before going to the vet. It worked great! I could see results after one application. I bathed Dooley making sure to take the flattened somewhat moist scabs off his back. I have a feeling that Dooley's mange was staph related, from my past experiences... But, regardless of what it was... It is gone now. I have completed three applications now... After the first application, the scabs never came back, and the hair began to grow back. Thanks for the great tip! Hope others also try this and have the success that Dooley had! "

Kimigirl from Makati City, Philippines writes: "Hi Ted! I've done your mange cure on my 1 yr old Chow Chow since nothing worked regarding vet treatments. I mentioned your cure to the vet and said since we've tried everything else, it wouldn't hurt. I followed your instructions to the letter. He didn't mind the dip at all and I think he rather enjoyed it. What I noticed though was that after he dries, the red bumps seem to get aggravated. They're redder than normal and he's scratching. Although the next day, the red bumps dry up and flake off but he's still scratching. We're on the 4th day of treatment and was wondering if this is a normal reaction and would go away as the mites go? Or should I be adding something else to make the solution more potent to the mites? Do I just continue with the treatment? It looks like the mites try to fight back. Will Cold Pressed Virgin Coconut Oil help his itching? Thank you in advance. Kim "

Theresa1989stan1990 from Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada writes: "Theresa1989Stan1990 [Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada] = My boyfriend and I have tried every solution in the books (vets -tooooo expesive- , Lemon juice, epson salts... Etc.. ), shes a Austrailian Shepard, Huskey, Collie (rough), Begal mix, only a year old. The previous owner stopped her treatment only a month in and thought she was better (now we know its demodex generalized) and then she gave her to us, and well she got reinfected again and it happened within a span of a week to have loss of hair, red bumps on her belly, little leisions on the back of her neck & head, ears legs and chest and a huge lesion on her neck. Well, we had a friend who has a family member as a vet and she said that the borax solution works. And well this is day 2 for us the smell has died down, the skin is starting to look better, fur is slightly discoloured and she is probably tramatized by how many times previously with other solutions only because her cuts reopen everytime. Which we are still having the issue. We have a cone that prevents her from licking herself due to how weak she is at this point we dont want to risk having her digesting it, but the cone is the main reason why the cuts on her neck keep opening again because before we apply the solution, we need to take it off but the cuts are already crusted over the cone, even after the night before we waited for her to dry for hours than put the cone back on. We need to know if its safe to say she can lick herself after the borax solution is done drying, because she likes to lick her paws, and to clean herself, she is a constant licker... We dont know what to do when the cone is opening the cuts over and over again. And our main concern is that, can she get really sick even more with the borax/h202 just by licking herself like a cat(since she grew up with cats)? What were other peoples techniques to prevent them from licking? (if they did) "

[BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS] Middlebunny from Jersey City, New Jersey, Usa writes: "I'm curious. My black cocker spaniel periodically breaks out in a rash. We thought it was an allergic reaction to the dog park but after reading these posts it seems like it might be mange or mites. His latest bout appears to be his worst so far. His vet previously rx'd a topical cleanser as well as Gentamicin Sulfacte Topical Spray. This seems to work; however, I decided that it might be more efficient to try Ted's mange cure to see if that helped. I didn't bath the dog in Ted's solution as he'd just gotten his hair done at the salon (who called and notified us of the rashes on his stomach which they thought were indicative of an allergy or staph infection). Instead, I mixed 150ml of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide solution with 300ml of distilled water then I mixed in 1 tablespoon of the borax (laundry cleaner). I put this all in a 500ml bottle and shook it until the borax had either mixed in or formed a solid mass that settled at the bottom of the bottle (I assumed the settlement was the portion that couldn't be dissolved). I then put the liquid in a spray bottle and sprayed the areas of his tummy which had the rash. I also sprayed some on his back and tried to push it through his hair without messing up his cute cocker spaniel hair cut. While the instructions recommend bathing in the solution once a week, I've sprayed the tummy area several times since the initial application as I thought that would be close to simulating a full body bath for the effected body parts. I've now begun to notice that my dog's black hair has been lightened as though the 1% hydrogen peroxide is having a bleaching effect. Is this typical? Is it because I've sprayed the solution on my dog more than once? Although the rashes appear to be drying out, I don't want to keep spraying my dog with the solution because of the hair lightening effect. Despite this, I do still want to continue to promote the healing process. In between weekly applications of the borax/h2o2 solution, can I resume using the Gentamicin Sulfate spray or will this decrease the effectiveness of the borax/h2o/h2o2 solution? Please advise. "

I kept her crate blanket clean, and sprayed it with the vinegar-borax mixture and sprayed her every day with it as well, as teh other posters suggested. I also gave her weekly baths with it. I would shampoo her first and then pour the mixture over her, and really rub it into her bald spots. A natural cure that worked. It was cheap too. I found teh borax at Target, and the gallon of vingar was like $4 at the grocery store. I have to admit it took about a month for it to go away, but it definitely worked. "
