The wonderful Theresa from Minneapolis, MN has been helping pet owners and their beloved pets around the world on Earth Clinic since 2013.
About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

[YEA] Saw the responses to your treatments and I gave him two dips with the peroxide / borax the first couple of weeks and then switched to a 50 / 50 water / white vinegar / borax dip ever since. I used white instead of ACV because it's cheaper and it seems that it's the acetic acid that is the carrier into the skin. ALL of his hair is back and he hardly scratches anymore. He gets the recommended borax in the the drinking water too. I intend to give him maintenance dips once every month or so and may continue with the Borax in the drinking water as an ongoing thing. Great advice! Thanks again!

So do you pour the vinegar or spray it? My dogs are battling this now and making me sad seeing them like this.EC: If it's mange, please see our borax and peroxide cure for mange. It is the most effective, without any side effects.

I just started Fresh Aloe for itch.
But do you think the Vingar will get to the bad part with the Borax better???? Thanks so so much!!

Vinegar is not better than the hydrogen peroxide for the mange remedy -it can be used in the formula, but it creates peracetic acid which is very strong and harsh on the skin. It sounds like you have a good start and are seeing results; please remember that healing takes time - it is something you simply cannot rush.
You might find the topical application of an OTC tripple antibiotic ointment helpful in healing the elephant skin - you might also consider coconut oil as well. The idea is to put a softening oil with an antimicrobial agent on the skin to sooth it and moisturize.
Additional approaches; alkalizing the drinking water with baking soda and improving the diet by going grain free if you have not done so already.

Did you use straight apple cider vinegar? Or is it best to dilute it and make a spray with it. If spray is recommended, she does not like being messed with so a spray would work better for us, how should this be mixed with water. I have boiled water to disinfect it, just in case, even though I have filtered water.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Also, my Beloved's eye was brown and since this happened to her her eye is now a baby blue. Has this happened to anyone? My Vet has me putting ointment in her eye for bacteria. I have like 9 different things I do for her mange he recommended. Including Bravecto and I read it does indeed kill the mites.
She is getting better.
EC: Apple Cider Vinegar should be diluted with water when used on pet's skin. You might start with 1 cup vinegar plus 1 cup water. If it irritates her, use less vinegar.
