12/01/2006: Laura from Hartford, WI writes: "We are having some other problems, she keeps getting pyoderma. The vet puts her on antibiotics and it clears, but when she is done the pyoderma comes back. Any suggestions? Thank you so much for the mange cure. I was so afraid of the dip."
RepliesTed from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Dear Laura: Pyoderma infection is a simple bacteria infection a found in the the skin of the dog called Staphylococcus Intermedius. Often changing the diets of dogs from ready made dog food to home cooked food will help. For some reason, the ready made dog foods lowers the dog's natural immunity since there is no natural enzymes in them, while a partially cooked liver and meats will often help.However, it is necesary to prepare a wet paste of sodium bicarbonate and borax (50:50) using a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution to prepare the paste and apply in area of infection. Four applications per day should stop the staph fairly quickly.
The drinking water of the dog should, for temporarily add 1/4 teaspoon of NATURAL sea salt per liter of water to the dog. Sea salt are quite alkaline forming where its pH is between 7.5 - 8.5, making an ideal addition.
The best kinds of sea salt, amazingly enough is not found for human use but for pet shops that sells aquarium. There are many brands, but they should be natural sea salts and most would be o.k. If this doesn't work of for a week add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda per 1 liter of water to the dog's drinking water. It takes about 2 weeks for a noted improvement.
As a warning, dogs on antibiotics will get yeast infections if given too long. If the dogs happens to be eating ready made dog food this will be much worse. In my opinion, giving treating yeast/fungus issue are a lot more difficult then bacteria and viruses. I often call these fungus, the ultimate bioweapons, as it is extremely difficult to contain or rid off. So be on the watch for this. A dog will vomit, when they do get yeast infections and it appears to be like anorexic condition or acid reflux thing. If this symptoms is shown, antibiotics should be stopped and it will give the dogs to recover from additional symptoms faster."
01/14/2012: Sarah from Brooklyn, Ohio replies: "What is the exact mixture required? Do you rinse off the paste or leave it on to dry? My boxer mix's skin is infected and is turing black in spots. I have had her on and off Ketoconozole, but am afraid we are starting to tax her already low immune system due to allergies."
02/03/2012: Jane from Paramus, New Jersey replies: "My Spinone Italiano also keeps getting bacterial infections in the folds of her mouth. She's been on antibiotics throughout the year, it goes away and then comes back. Based upon where the infections are, she is not a candidate for the lip fold surgery. The doctors are looking for other alternatives. Any help is appreciated. She is only 7 years old."

RAW DIET

[YEA] 06/19/2009: Leah from Chicago, IL writes: "Hello Pyoderma Sufferers!
I writing to help those of you who would like to start a homemade diet in order to cure your pup's pyoderma. I have two healthy happy dogs (ages 1yr and 4 yrs) that have been on the raw diet since birth. It is actually very cost effective in comparison to that expensive kibble, and they have never had a single health problem to speak of.
I don't know if you could call it "preparing" their food, but I do pull it out of the refrigerator or freezer every morning...haha. It's really easy, and with a bit of guidance/education, you'll be on the right path in no time.
Example Day of Meals for my 4-yr-old Shepherd/Lab
Breakfast:
1 raw chicken back (yes, with the bones!!! She can easily rip through these in seconds!!)
1 slice of raw beef liver
1 capsule of fish oil
Lunch:
1 large raw turkey neck
4-5 raw gizzards
Dinner:
1/4 lb raw ground bison, beef, or lamb
1 raw chicken leg quarter
You don't have to cut it up, tenderize it, or grind it--you simply hand it to the dog, and that's that.
If you're JUST starting a raw homemade diet today, make sure to start gradually! Start with one protein, like chicken, and feed that only for one week. You could feed raw chicken backs or necks in the morning, and then kibble in the evening--that would be gradual. You need to give your pup time to build up his/her natural enzymes and stomach acids. NEVER EVER mix dry food with raw food--the digestion rates are so different that it would make your pup's tummy unsettled.
Also, if you run into a little bit of diarrhea, don't be discouraged--YOUR PUP WILL ADJUST--I PROMISE! In order to combat loose stool, simply add 1 tablespoon of plain canned pumpkin (not the pie filling) to the food. You can also add a probiotic capsule and a capsule filled with cayenne pepper to help with the adjustment.
GOOD LUCK!!!!
Let me know if you have any questions.

10/24/2011: Tomcat from Houston, Tx writes: "Hello.... I have a cat that is my heart and soul. For the past year or so we have been battling a random assortment of symptoms. I am currently in vet school, but have always practiced natural med with my pets. That being said, he is a tough one at the moment. He has chronic allergies/skin issues, he has these sneezing attack/coughing...asthma-ish it seems.... And in the past year he has developed pus in sin claws.... He saw the derm and she wants to do 8 weeks of Ab.... We did 2 weeks earlier this year and no response... So now she wants to try 8 weeks and if no response biopsy him.
Also, I ordered some lysine to try, but saw it has artificial sweetner in it... Again, not sure if I should administer it
Here is my theory... I think he has a herpes virus that flares up periodically (and possibly asthma), and secondarily he is now getting these nasty, nasty bacterial infections. I started the ab a few days ago.... And he just isn't acting the same. I am not sure if the vomiting started before or after--but he has vomited for 3 days (again, not like him at all! ) I guess I am just wondering if you have any experience with this.... I would love some help. Thank you."
Replies10/25/2011: Timh from Louisville, Usa replies: "Tomcat, no expert here but I will say what I do for my kitties as maintenace. A few grains of milled flax seed cleans the colon (about 4 times yr). A filthy colon could be the root of all the symptoms you provided. Also, I use a dropper of Colloidal Silver about once wk to keep infection at bay. Hope this helps."

06/19/2011: Kristin from Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada writes: "Dear Ted,
Our 10 year old chesapeak bay retriever has chronic pyoderma. He used to get it once a year, now it is constant and the antibiotics don't seem to be effective any more. Our last round (the 4th or 5th this year) did not seem to have any effect. Is there a way to cure without antibiotics?"
Replies06/27/2011: Ted from Bangkok, Thailand replies: "Yes, tannic acid mixed with DMSO 70%, and apply the skin. Tannic acid is prepared 5-15%, preferably 10% in the DMSO 70% (which is 30% water and 70% DMSO). It is applied onto a clean dog externally. It works in 15 minutes. This should help, if it doesn't you can add some Lugol's iodine solution mixed into it, say another 10% of the mix.Some misinformation correction is needed. MMS or sodium chlorite, or hypochlorite, or any chlorine bleach has exactly the same antibiotic effects (or disinfectant) effects as do the Lugol's solution or iodine solution (PVP-I). The only difference is that chlorine disinfectants or MMS has side effects associated with chlorine overdose. Iodine is needed by the humans and provides less side effects and won't cause severe side effects and its cures are more permanent then MMS or chlorine disinfectants. You can test the presence of chlorine in MMS by "activating" with chlorine paper test with citric acid. So use Lugol's iodine when making such a mixture is better.
Ted"

[SIDE EFFECTS] 02/11/2011: Nicole from Littlehampton, Sa, Australia writes: "I made the pyoderma treatment just as it said to after trying every shampoo and treatment for our puppy's mange for the past 6 wks which has resulted in pyoderma. I just put her first application on no more than 1-2 hrs ago and she has scratched her head raw to the point of bleeding now. She looks absolutely horrible but physically she doesnt seem to be affected by the mange/pyoderma, nor did she scratch at it. It's obviously made her very itchy, as a result scratching where I applied the paste until it bled... Is this normal? Anyone elses dog have the same reaction?"

[QUESTION] 04/16/2009: Sharon from Olympia, WA writes: "I wanted to reply to the cure for Pyroderma. We are currently trying to cure our dog as well. So far with agressive antibiodics. It is now absessed.
So our problem, this Pyroderma is around her eye. Can your recommendations be safely used around her eye?
Also, I don't have a clue on how to make her own food. Is there directions somewhere on the web?
Thanks for considering my e-mail"

08/31/2011: Roxie Ann from Sandwich, Il replies: "Is it safe to use borax and baking soda remedy on cats? My cat has pyroderma and is not responding to multiple natural approaches- essential oils (diluted of course), probiotics, ACV, olive leaf extract, herbs, and a couple other things. I'd like to try the remedy listed for pyroderma and mange. But they are only listed as helping with dogs. Just want to be sure my cat is safe. Thanks!"
