Have you tried Apple Cider Vinegar, the one with the mother in it? I would do a water and ACV combo half and half and get a spray bottle and spray him at least 3 times a day. This should keep the ph level at a level that nothing can grow within that environment. I hope that helps if you haven't alady tried it. Good luck and I am sorry they are suffering...Replied By Bempierre (Victorville, Ca) on 02/03/2013
Check your dog food for corn. Corn heats up their system and causes them to chew and itch. It is twice as bad in warmer climates. I feed a lamb and rice dog food with no corn and wheat. Nature's Recipe is one to try. Good luck!
P.S. you can also add a couple of squirts of Lynatone (vitamin e oil) to their food for much needed oil back in the skin and coat. You can buy at most pet stores and feed stores.

Yes, I was wondering about the message someone else left about treating their dog with the borax and after 2 weeks there was no improvement. I also have tried the peroxide and borax, with no improvement. So I got some ac vinegar, only seen improvement the day of use, but next again the bumps were back. My question I guess is how long before I see that its working? Also she (my dog) just finished her medicine of ivermec from the vet. I'm desperate to help my furry family member, im talking about the dog not my 17 year old.Replied By Sharon (Wesley Chapel, Fl) on 07/11/2013
l don't know if you all have read Ted's remedy but he says to give them baths in the mix. No drying or rinsing it off either. The spray is only for any after itching. Please be sure to treat the bedding where they lay. Washing with borax helps tremendously.Replied By Paula (Stanford, Ky) on 11/23/2013
Possibly a secondary skin infection from the irritation from the mites. May need antibiotics to take care of that.Replied By Unique (Gainesville, Fl) on 05/02/2014
You actually have to dip the dogs because the mites will find another spot to go if you just spray. Thoroughly soak your dogs.
