I am amber and nothing working for dogs mange

Posted By Amber (Las Vegas, Nv) on 03/31/2011

Hello Im Amber and I have a just now turning 4 month old Male pitbull who has Demexic mange. And his Meds from the vet are crazyyy expensive. Hes 34 lbs and its already 100 bucks and keeps going up as he gains weight and grows. Ive tried alot of different home remedies. Ive done borax and ACV, Teatree oil, a mix of Olive oil, A&D, Desitin and coco butter. The only thing those did for him was make a few of the red bumps under his arms go away. I want to get him better but I cant afford his meds at the rate he is growing. And the price of them. Anyone know of another treatment that work really well? Im not sure if it matters but I was thinking all the treatments I find could be for a different breed of dog maybe thats why they wont work? hes a blue noes pitbull if that matters.

thank you, amber

Amber; Mange is not easily treated nor can it be a one time deal as even I had hoped for, this is an on going thing, it takes time and consistancy. Think about it this way, I am trying to do a cat infested with mange, she is scared but she fights like a trooper therefore it's almost impossible to treat her because she fights then runs away and hides for days, where as dogs are ten times easier to care for they love the attention & generally don't fear water per say cats do.... Try to stick with the borax and peroxide(no water)make an even constant paste and rub all over your pit bull do this for days until you no longer think he/she has any more mights. Nine times out of ten when she starts to bite & scratch then you will have had the sign that the dog still or again has more. Animals have a way of showing/telling you when some thing is hurting and/or wrong. Pit bulls are one of the smartest dogs ever. I had a pit bull he was the smartest little demon ever. Even the police liked him (chuckles). Good luck
