Spray bottle? You didn't follow the instructions. Your pet has to be completely saturated with the borax/peroxide/H2O mixture. Gggeezzz! No wonder it's not working for you."

Ivermectin Dosage: 0.20 - 0.30 mg/kg = 1 dose
Many physicians treat scabies with 2-4 doses of Ivermectin daily, for 1-3 weeks. Then, every other day for a week, and once weekly for the last week. Some people are on weekly doses for months. Others with compromised immune systems or dealing with the more pathogenic/resilient species are on a more rigorous schedule such as 4 doses daily, 3 weeks followed by a maintenance schedule.
Due to many health issues involving significant malabsorption, many physicians prescribe 4X the dose taken daily every 6 hours. This is required to obtain the therapeutic level of Ivermectin or it will not be effective. Some people definitely require subcutaneous injections of ivermectin to achieve therapeutic levels.
My physician prescribed me 12 mg doses of Ivermectin, 4X/day, taken with meals, for 3 weeks. I weighed 138 lbs. I was to repeat this schedule at least one more time after a rest period of 1-2 weeks. Though, during this lull, continue to treat your body and environment.
There are even protocols that involve taking 100 mg doses several times a day for some health conditions! Some people have to take injections of Ivermectin to obtain the therapeutic blood levels - will see this in medical literature especially with regards to treating late stage strongyloides infections.
Ivermectin is better absorbed when taken with a fatty meal.
All treatments involve treating the environment and treating your body 2X/day!
Physician instructions on how to treat the body: use 10% sulfur/3% salicylic medicated soap and make it into a very thick rich lather over the entire body. Leave it on for 10-15 minutes (keeping it moist), rinse and repeat. This is done twice daily for 3 weeks. Minimum, 1 week then, can reduce to daily washes then, every other day then, weekly and finally done.
NOTE: today, some patients have discovered that the Ivermectin given to them by a pharmacy or other site are sugar pills or some other inert substance. Do your due diligence. I have had this experience once with a compounding pharmacy.
These are several reasons why people believe Ivermectin is not effective. It is effective, you are simply not getting the real deal or the therapeutic dose. The other common reasons for persistent scabies is not treating the body nor the environment diligently and the people living with them.
Treatment Protocol, 4-part: if you do not follow the COMPLETE PROTOCOL it becomes "the gift that keeps on giving." Successful treatment protocol involves "strict" adherence to all parts of the protocol - Oral or subcutaneous Medication, Body Treatments, Environmental Treatments, Family Treatment (including animals).
Treating the environment: Start with the most important rooms first (bathroom, bedroom). Spray, treat, everything you could have touched.
Only enter these rooms after you have sprayed or treated yourself so that you do not re-contaminate them. Can wear gloves or spray your hands/arms/etc.. with an enzyme spray or apply 3% Ivermectin cream (best when 10% DMSO is added to the cream). These will kill the surface mites. Then, work out from these rooms to other, treating all rooms and your vehicle (don't forget the seat belt). You can use various enzyme sprays, bleach, natural biocides, essential oil sprays, 91% isopropyl alcohol (carcinogenic) and other solutions which definitely kill the organism.
Wishing all speedy healing!"

LAUNDRY
Must treat the laundry or you will reinfect yourself. Wash on the sanitize cycle, add borax or boric acid, 1 cup. Many also add a miticide that kills scabies in the wash, many products on the market. Dry for a full 1 hour on high. Can also spray your clothes with an enzyme spray or 91% isopropyl if needing to quickly kill mites. Some soak their clothes in a cedar or another miticide solution for 1 hour before washing.
IVERMECTIN CREAM
Some physicians also include as part of the treatment ivermectin cream applied to the infected areas on the skin or on the entire body, daily. Use a cream containing 3% ivermectin and 10% DMSO in versa base. This is obtained at a compounding pharmacy. The cream must remain on your body for a full 12 hours without being washed off. Use for 3 weeks or as long as needed. Best to apply the ivermectin cream after a warm shower and light exfoliation to the skin, thoroughly dry off before applying the cream.
OTHER EFFECTIVE CREAMS
I have known others having 100% success using other natural creams: Andiroba Oil or EmuaidMax. Applied at least 2X/daily and rubbed in VERY well."

I am a truck driver and when I had to swap into our spare truck, I picked up scabies. That was back in July. Wasn’t my first rodeo. The first time I got them was the very end of 1986. The first time you get them, it can take anywhere from 14 days to two months before you’re totally broke out. After the first time of getting them, for most will break out in the first 24 hours.
I bought Sulfur candles and fumigated my tractor. If you live in a house, not an apartment building you must remove all your food, medicines, spices everything out of your refrigerator. Unplug your electronics. It doesn’t hurt your electronics. And then after you fumigate, you cannot go back in there for at least 24 hours after you light the candle. But it will kill every creepy, crawly thing in there, including the scabies."
