Apple Cider Vinegar for Mange in Cat

Posted By Vickie (Uk) on 04/21/2017

"I treated my stray female cat Trixie who had lost all of her fur from her waist to the tip of her tail (from mange) with organic apple cider vinegar. I diluted it to around 1 part ACV to 10 parts water then sprayed her body every other day within 2 days she had stopped itching and within 2 weeks new hair had started to grow back. Six weeks later she had the thickest shiny hair you have ever seen. My neighbours were shocked. 2 years later and still everything is OK. Better than anti-biotic and steroids and a huge vet bill.

I put a half teaspoonful of organic apple cider vinegar in my cat's water fountain every week to prevent cystitis which can be painful and costly."

"Vickie(UK),
Thank you SO very much for your wisdom. I've been trying to figure out how to treat my massive feral colony. This mange has gotten out of control here. I think they now have a fighting chance at survival.
Ty again 😻"

"Did your cat have soars or scabs or problems around her face and spine? Are you sure it was feline scabies? My stray cats are in such bad shape I need to catch them and help them, but I don't know which treatment (home remedy) to use. They have soars and bloody skin and loss of most of their hair. It is so sad. I wonder if vinegar, or Ted's Remedy will sting their bloody soars. It just makes me sick - the poor kitties. They will be hard to handle - I am thinking about dunking them into a small tub of solution.

Did your cat act like she was in pain from the vinegar?"

"My cat did act like it burned! But it really helped.

Now a couple years later don't know if I can bring myself to use it again... What really helps is raw egg yolk"

"Hi Karin,

could you be a bit more specific about what you did with raw egg yolk and what it was helping with? I would like to improve my pets' immune systems as well as cure them of demodex. We're going to do borax in our water, and I am working up the guts to at least sponge/ sop Teds bath solution on my cat in 1-2 areas at a time. He already doesn't know whether to avoid me or not, as I might be trying to 'help' him, resulting in wet and smelly fur."

"Please try Organic Turmeric oil. My cat had scabs and pulled most of his hair off. He would constantly scratch and lick his hair. He had bald spots all over his body.

I used Organic Turmeric oil. He hated the taste of it and left his fur alone. Got all his hair back. Good luck

Blessings,

Mary Martinez"
