<description>[YEA] Bliss from Brooklyn, Ny writes: "Cat mange cure:

I rescued a cat with mange and struggled with it all summer. It seemed cured but kept on scratching, then my other cats began to catch it. I tried everything, advantage, hydrogen peroxide, Scratchex, ACV, essential oils. 

Then last week I heard a doctor on the radio talking about Oregano oil to cure upper respiratory symptoms. I bought some tiny oil caplets, and in desperation, gave one to my cat with mange. In two days it's totally on the wane, no more scratching. 

The vet only med, Revolution, is a heartworm med, Intervectin that acts from within to kill the mites. That's what gave me the idea to give them Oregano Oil, and it's been immediately effective. When they have mites on their face you cannot treat with other things, and bathing is definitely something they hate. This seems to be an immediate cure.

Hope it works for you.

<description>[YEA] Lynn W from San Antonio, Texas writes: "Our dog Coco who had this when we got her home. She was still a pup. She got this from the mother dog. Coco has a very delicate system. We first tried the vet's way with a dip that stunk like rotten eggs. We brought her home and tried that until the dips irritated her skin and she ran a tempature. We put Coco on local antibiotics one for her face and an oral one. The doctor put her on Ivermectin and it worked for a while until she started to throw up the meds. This is what is used in heart worm medication. Also the vet told us not to give her Ivermectin at the same time as we gave her heart worm meds. When we had stopped the Ivermectin within 3 months the buggers came back in full force. So, we did some research holitically that landed us here on this website. We went to a local pet feed store. They have a lot of holistic foods etc. At the store, I found a local over the counter medicine for sarcoptic mange for dogs and horses. It has linseed oil, pine tree oil and sulfur. It has a smell to it but not as bad as the other stuff from the vet. Asked if it worked and one customer tried it and it worked. I cleaned her with a well known flea and tick shampoo which had Pyrethrin in it. This one product had the highest Pyrethrin in it out of all the others. Pyrethrin is a natural insecticide. We wet her down scrubbed &amp; washed her in our tub with warm water with the flea and tick shampoo and left it on her for about 7 minutes. Her scabs came off. We dried her off. I took a face sponge for make-up put the mange medicine on her. Around her face we used vegetable oil. It took a bottle of that mange medicine. After, I put the mange medicine we rubbed her with vegetable oil. I also used the spray vegetable oil which works well for "Hot Spots". We did this for about 3 weeks. Then we changed our regime and first washed her with some of our vet's shampoo for dogs for delicate skin. It is is a Hypo-Allergenic Shampoo. Then we still used the flea and tick shampoo. Then we stopped the mange lotion and put a biological natural flea and dog spray on her. It has avocado and other natural stuff for their skin as well as something for fleas &amp; ticks. This worked well on her. She's an indoor dog. So far so good. Her hair is growing back and she's happy and playing. We also placed her on a dog food that has Salmon in it for her skin. We also put an insecticide for the yard to kill bugs, fleas, ticks. etc. We washed her bedding and cleaned our carpet with a carpet shampoo. I would suggest covering your furniture and pillows because of the mange medicine. This process takes about three weeks to a month. Ths skin will dry and flake off and the new skin comes in. I hope this helps."</description>

<description>[YEA] Ray from Murphy, North Carolina writes: "This works. I've done this for years on my pets. It costs (at least in most places) absolutely nothing but a few minutes of your time. I use the 'burnt" motoroil after changing the oil in my car or truck. If you have a light colored dog it's gonna' show, but, you'll see new hair growing back shortly. One application is not enough generally, so a couple or three applications may be necessary. I been told it's the sulfur that's in the burnt oil. I apply it with a cloth soaked in the oil. It doesn't burn or sting the dog. Just wash hands good after application."</description>

<description>[YEA] Ka from San Diego, California writes: "First let me tell you thanks for this web site
the woman from Florida who runs a puppy rescue ..
THANK YOU for the Mayonnaise and apple cider vinegar cure for Mange !
simple and soothing for my pooch..

The Mayo she said deprives oxygen from getting to the mite...

I just took a plastic teaspoon and slathered it on the hair loss patch and directly on with the mite bumps ... about an hour later I removed the mayo with a paper towel.. and took sterile gauze pads and soaked them in the apple vinegar.. I left the gauze soaked pads in place for about 10 minutes ( my pooch was very cooperative. so I guess she felt relief immediately.. and became calm as if she was getting a spa treatment.

I did this procedure twice in 12 hours ( night time ) and I am amazed to report that YES the mites vacated the bumps .. you can see the exit opening in the bumps
but they were evidently trapped in the mayo.. and were tossed out in the paper towel..(RIP... &lt; smile &gt; and my dog's relief? priceless all this from my cupboard./ grocery store.. fantastic

I now have made a mixture of the borax soap ( 20 mule team laundry detergent .. from Von's grocery store) and diluted 3 percent hydrogen peroxide ( cut with equal amounts of water to reduce it to approx 1 percent hydrogen peroxide )

I made a paste of sorts of the mixture and took a plastic spoon and mad a sort of poultice? covering the effected mite bumps on my dog.. I have placed it on her and am letting her dry -- as I said the relief she is getting is making her soooooo cooperative

NOW while she is sleeping I am taking all towels used, and my bed sheets and putting them in the washing machine..bleach, hottest water, 20 Mule Team Laundry detergent .. and washing everything while she sleeps ..

wow I cant believe the difference @80 percent improvem3ent and almost all the mite mounds/bumps are gone !!Again thank you for this web site.. amd thanks Ted and the woman with the Rescue in Florida for posting your natural treatments on this site ..

I notice that there is a cure for people who have Scabies.. with the same remedies

if it works as well on the same treatment for people as it did my little dog.. i can only imagine what relieve it would be.. hopefully I won't befall such a medical issue myself.. but if I ever should I am reaching for the mayo and cider vinegar.. and the borax and peroxide treatment --cause they are Very Very effective.. WOW

my pooch sends you big wet grateful kisses K. Anderson

<description>[YEA] Gagirl from Blairsville, Georgia writes: "Demodectic Mange Treatment

My pug had demodectic mange. It was just hair loss, but in several spots and his chin and neck were almost bare. I took him to the vet and he recommended promaris flea/tick medicine. I used this product three months(three applications). I also bought benzoyl peroxide (acne cream) and rubbed on the spots once a day for about 3 weeks. I started giving him omega 3 gel caps once per day and I started him on ___Natural Choice chicken, oatmeal and rice puppy food. He's completely cured. I don't know which part contributed the most, I just know his hair has completly grown back and he is so healthy and active. I hope this helps someone, cause it took hours of searching for me to decide what to do with my little pug!

Today I have a 1 yr old mixed Rottweiler/German Shepherd name Sheba. We noticed her aggressively scratching herself and biting at her paws then some small bumps in patches and there her hair would drop off. She also had an awful odor and bad breath.

<description> Doggie Nahni from Wilmington, OH writes: "We rescued a pure bred Springer (Buddy) Sept. 2007 for my daughter as therapy for her conversion disorder(causes non-epileptic siezures) then in March we rescued a sheltie/chow mix puppy (Hercules) for her birthday. Everything was fine until we moved to a farmhouse with 2.6 acres. We were having trouble with potty training Herc but the farmhouse has a doggy door and there have been no more accidents (Buddy has been a great pac leader), the propery was still in town and the there was so much room to play for the dogs so it's been great for all of us or so we thought. Hercules started with a spot on his muzzle, I thought it was because he and Buddy love to wrestle and chew on each other so I thought it was from that, then Herc started chewing his legs and I started to notice raw spots on the front ones, then it was like over night and his back and fromt legs were going bald and he was scratching and chewing like mad and then the stink. It was atrocious. I wanted to take him to the vet but my husband is not into spending that kind of money on pets but since they were our daughters he said she could take him if she paid for it. I decided to do some research on what it could be and came up with the conclusion it was mange. I then started researching natural remedies since I am into that for my own family I thought why not the pets. I came across your website, read the postings and told my daughter about it then gave her the choice. She decided to try the natural route first. We started last night. We washed him with Herbal Essance Anti Dandruff then soaked him with the mixture and let him dry naturally. I washed both dogs bedding since they tend to go in and out of each others kennels, then I made a mixture of Apple Cider Vinegar,Neem Oil (very stinky) and Borax and sprayed their clean bedding and all around their room and sprayed Buddy (although he shows no signs of mange) then I made a spray bottle of the Listerine, Baby Oil and water to help with the stink. I do think he looks a little better but I am wondering if I should do this daily for a few weeks or every other day. He is licking but not chewing so I am thinking of giving him a dose of Benedryl. How much washing and spraying and treating is too much. Is daily too much until I see a noticable improvement? I hate seeing him look so miserable, he was such a pretty pup and now he looks like a 'mangy mut'. Someone please let me know a really good schedule to use for treatment! Thanks in advance:)

<description>[YEA] Lisa from Wichiat Falls, Texas writes: "I have read alot of remedies for Mange.The old timers used old motor oil, which is bad for the pet. I have several cats and a little dog. Several of them had the mange at one time or another. One little stray that I had taken in had it bad. From her neck up to all of her head was hairless!I had no money for a vet or anything. So, all I did for them all was to take a cotton ball and put regular cooking oil on it and rub it on the places where the hair was coming out. It takes a little longer than with medicine to get rid of it. But, if they lick it, it will not hurt the animal. And it really worked. The regular mange is because of mites under the skin. I guess the oil sufocates the little buggars! But, it really, really did work!!"</description>

<description>[YEA] Leighanne from Mena, Arkansas, USA writes: "I had done some research on mange and found out that they live in the cuticle of the hair. My husband and I have a beauty school and know how to open and close the cuticle. We decided to try Salon grade 40% Volume peroxide on a sample of our dog's hair to see if it would lift color, know that if the color would lift, the cuticle would open. Our dog is a black doberman mix and it lifted the color right out in 30 minutes. We decided to use level 2 brown (black) hair color (salon grade NOT grocery store hair color) mixed with equal parts the 40 Volume Developer. I applied it to the area of the mange and about 2" beyond. Left it on for 30 minutes and then rinsed and shampooed with salon grade shampoo and conditioner. Time may vary depending on the brand of hair color and developer used. There are some beauty supply shops that are open to the public that you can buy salon grade hair color, developer and shampoo and conditioner. I then apply a salon grade silkening protien on the area every day. I have been applying color once a month for the past 4 months. The mange is almost gone and she smells good too! I may have to keep coloring her hair for the rest of her life but only her hairdresser will know!

I learned to use salon grade products on my animals when I had a hairless doberman. Her skin was so dry from the pet shampoos so I tried my shampoo and conditioner on her and she quit having dry skin and quit itching. I've used them ever since."</description>

<description>[QUESTION] Derek from Toms River, N.J. writes: "Hello,

I have quite a problem, my dog about 6 weeks ago was starting to bite a lot at his paw and had slight itching on his hind leg not bad but slight i was taking him in for his regular check up and mentioned it to the vet , she said he had try skin and some skin irritation and put him on predisone and a anti-biotic, it seemed right after that it got much worse, funny thing i started itching myself a bit especially under my arms and stomach,. 

Well my dog really got bad to the point he been bleeding a bit very badly itching has bald spots on his paws and hind legs and his stomach is really raw .I took him back to the vet today first thing she thought of was fleas, i thought this might very well be due to the fact im now itching a real lot and have a rash under both armpits. She combed him and said no he don't have fleas and just said he has bed allergic reaction or dematitis gave him predisone and a different anti biotic. 

Now after reading on here I came across scabies and mites and it is exactly what i believe is going on, the other thing I noticed with my dog which never had before if i scratch him on the back his hind leg goes like crazy in an itching motion which i never noticed before until the last few weeks , well it said on the site that is a sure way to tell if he has mites.

Now I also read that the dogs immune is probably weak if he gets mange, now this may sound weird but i developed electrical sensitivities a few yrs ago after moving into this new place i wa much worse put on alot of weight shortly after that my dog put on alot of weight too i think the EMF here is bad I feel that may have weakened his immune system I thought i read awhile ago on this site about products for EMF is there anything you could recommend for that?

Thanks Very Much
Sincerely Derek"</description>

I forget which type of mange it was, but the vet said it was sometimes incurable and gave me something like wallpaper cleaner to plaster on it after a DAILY bath ! I skipped the bath,and the medicine which I tho't was hopeless, and the Herbettes cleared it up. It also cleared up the eyes on a Toy Poodle.

<description>[YEA] Tom Knight from Tamarindo, Costa Rica writes: "Cheap, 100% Cure for Mange/Fleas 
The following is a copy of email recently sent to the Washington State University College of Veterinary Medicine and the American Veterinary Association.
 
I filled out the form on your website. I could not copy the below email and paste it into your "comments" window...so here it is if you want to use it. I think it is important as it is a simple cure that I have now found sucessful on another dog other than mine also.
 
Hello to all my Vet friends,
 
When all else fails.....!!!
 
I came upon this purely by accident. This cure will not make you any money, but it sure will make you lots of friends with your clients.
 
I am no casual pet owner. I have shown, field trialed and hunted champion German Shorthair Pointers for 45 years, plus being owned by an assortment of mixed breeds, cats and an assortment of other exotic critters. In the 1970's I was one of the first to breed large falcons in captivity.
 
My present dog, a mixed breed, short-haired medium-sized (Tamarindo Purebred...) had severe skin problems since he was around nine months old. His full brother/litter-mate is neighbor and enjoys the same, virtually identical environment, so I know the dog's living situation was not the problem.
 
He developed a severe rash on his "hot spot." To which he continually chewed, and then started chewing his tail to the point of its having no hair at all, and other parts of his rear anatomy. He had a severe flea problem. End result was a neurotic dog with no hair on his tail and rump, constantly chewing and biting himself there and other parts of his body. He was loosing skin in nasty dried chunks and flakes like a huge case of human dandruff. I tried several local vets who provided a variety of creams, soaps and lotions. None worked. I tried human skin products from the local pharmacies. None worked...after considerable financial expenditure. His neighbor brother remained unaffected. I was seriously considering putting him down.
 
Then, I remembered that when I applied vegetable oil on my sunburn (I now live in the very hot and dry tropics of NW Costa Rica) it immediately soothed it and no peeling of my skin occurred. I tanned nicely, despite the severe sunburn.
 
So, I looked around the house and found a 1-inch paint brush I had been using for a "meat baster" in the kitchen. I also found a stiff laundry brush. I then brushed him from back to rump and gently on tail to remove loose skin. Then I put some cheap cooking oil in a small plastic tub. Using the paint brush, I gently massaged the oil onto the affected parts.
 
He immediately stopped biting himself. Within a day, I could see the redness in the skin start to dissipate. I continued bathing him with a flea/tick soap.
 
Soon, the redness disappeared altogether. I continued this treatment nightly. Within a week the amount of dead skin started to ease up. New hair started to appear. I also scrubbed oil (with the soft paint brush) into the hair and skin in all areas where I saw fleas...mostly under the tail around the lower rump. Within a couple hours, there is no oily feel to the hair...it has been absorbed by then into the skin.
 
Today, just over a month of daily treatment, all his hair is back. His tail now does not look like a rat's. He is completely flea free. He chews no more and his coat is glossy. He was also very skinny. Now, he has put on many pounds and is in the pink of health.
 
My Conclusion: I think the veggie oil acted as a systemic. It penetrated the skin and suffocated the mites under it that were eating the hair follicles and roots. It also did the same for his skin as it did for mine. The oil also suffocated the fleas to the point they now no longer exist.
 
Correct me if I am wrong. I would love any input. I thought this treatment was of significant importance that you folks should know. Maybe you do already. However, try this next time on one of your client's dog. 
 
This experience might make a useful entry for your newsletter.
 
Regards,

Tom Knight
Tamarindo, Costa Rica

<description>[YEA] Tom Knight from Tamarindo, Costa Rica writes: "Hello,

RE: Mange cure..THE CHEAPEST AND BEST

After serious sessions and lots of dollars with various vets, I could not cure my shorthaired dog of mange.

Here in Costa Rica, sunburn is usual. I tried using plain old veggie oil from the local grocery store to help my sunburn. Veggie oil is a sestemic..I dicovered...and it cured my sunburn...better than all thoes Aloes and etc. sutff you buy in the store.

My dog was eating himself to death with the itching...etc.

So,I used a 1" paintbrush and put some veggie oil in a plastic tub...painted the oil on my dog's raw and very red spots. It immediately soothed the area and my dog stopped bitting himself. 

I then used a stiff brush the next day to brush away all the dead skin. Then "painted" him with the veggie oil (any store variety will do) and "scrubbed it in." As a systempic, it absorbed into the skin and, obviously, smothered the mites to death.

Each day, I noticed a decided improvement...from the "eaten" tail to the hot spot to up the spine.

It works folks...my dog now does not eat himself to death...his skin is new and fresh, hair is coming back and he is actually gaining weight.

CURE: Veggie oil from grocery store, a 1" paintbrush, small plastic bowl and a stiff brush.
Each day, brush dog to get rid of dead skin in enfected area. 
Then "paint" oil on area, brushing it in well.
Simple...dog will relax with the oil penetrating the skin and stop the itching.
Each day you will notice the hair growing back and the dog stopping "eating himself."

It works folks...email me if you want.

<description>[YEA] Ken from ATL, GA writes: "Garlic Oil Cures Mange in animals

This remedy has worked for me over the years. I found it in the early nineties because I adopted a stray kitten with the mange. It was more like the little terrorist adopted me actually. I began to notice the rapidly expanding hair loss and his discomfort and listlessness after a few days and since I had grown attached to him, decided to research the cure. I found a recommendation for garlic oil somewhere, I don't remember now where but I tried it. I would saturate him with it every other day and leave it on. It worked. Within one week I could see the difference. In one month the problem was corrected and his fur black and shiny. I used it on a friend's dog with the same result. Amazing. If you can't take the garlic smell use Kyolic. Works just the same.

<description>[YEA] Sue-Ann from Roatan, Honduras writes: "Aug 07 I had a boxer born here in roatan with her 3rd time with demodec mange. she is one of 5 in her litter and at 8 months old she was the only one alive. She would go to a vet for 3 weeks, come back with no hair. the hair grew back 6weeks later and then the mange came back. after 2 times I was desperate. I researched out a holistic vet I found in N Miami beach (Dr. Bernstein). he and worked very closely with remedies and baths of coconut oil. he now tells me that she was hours from death. I thought of putting her down but I just could not give up on her. I got my remedy kit from him and fed her one kind of meat and nothing else. her ears were so swollen they didn't bend, her eyes were so swollen she could not see out of them and the puss oozing was terrible. her skin was bleeding and scabby and she was all bones. We used hepar, sulphur, other remedies. A year later she is happy playing, her hair has grown back, she looks great and I am so happy i didnt have to put her down. DONT GIVE UP ON YOUR DOG WITH MANGE. PLEASE."</description>

<description>[YEA] Jean from Franklin, WI writes: "A number of years ago, we acquired a German Shepherd with a severe case of mange, covering about 1/3 of his body. The vet's expensive prescription products hardly touched it. After a lot of study, I found a product generally used for horses to heal wounds and rashes. It's called Nu-Stock. It cleared the mange up after only 2 applications and it has never returned. His hair grew back very quickly, and although he wasn't too thrilled with the first application, he WANTED the second one very much. The itching stopped immediately.

A couple years later, my daughter had a rash that no doctor seemed able to get rid of. We tried the Nu-Stock and it cleared right up and hasn't returned.

I've had a problem with athlete's foot for years. I tried all the other remedies and it got rid of "most" of it, but there was a spot on the ball of one foot, including two toes where it just wouldn't go away. One day it occurred to me to try Nu-Stock. After just a couple of applications, the skin was back to normal, all itching gone, and it appears to be healing permanently. I think this is going to finally kill it!!!

Doing a little studying, I've found that Nu-Stock is 73% sulphur, 25% mineral oil, and 2% pine oil. 

I've also discovered that there are other health products made for pets that aren't available for people. For instance, in the local Farm &amp; Fleet, you can buy a cheap package of electrolytes for your pet's water. 16 oz. of DMSO was only $5. And there were other things as well, most of them in the section for horses! Isn't it amazing that you can buy products for your pets, cheaply, and you can't get prescription products that work for yourself???"</description>
