I then remembered my GBGV who had lesser issues, but having gone into the sea and got thoroughly wet, emerged with brilliantly clear clean ears. Salt water! Worth a try. I looked it up on the internet and came across several articles including this remedy. A teaspoon of non idodised salt in a cup of water. I put a drop of this in his ears and bathed the gunk from the outside of his ear and the earflap. it takes seconds, doesn't traumatise him and it works. It seems that after 15 mins the salt breaks down the wax allowing it to make its way out of the ear. It certainly cleans the outside of the ear in seconds.

The 1.87% Ivermectin gel (or paste), which is the same strength as the human version which is a pill. I followed the (per weight) directions on the back. Take 4 bar's worth = 125lbs. (by your weight) once a day for 3 days. Mild apple flavor taste. Washed it down with water. Many farm and feed stores offer it like TSC “Tractor Supply Company” here in the USA.
Everyone I have treated with Ivermectin has been with the horse paste. It easy to acquire, no questions asked, OTC.
Note: I’ve been hearing rumors about third party seller are selling some Horse Paste sold on Amazon being COUNTERFEITS. Probable made in China. The cap and syringe are the wrong colors and shape. Durvey the manufacture of ivermecin horse paste is aware of this problem and has informed Amazon

Trying to give a litre of water to a pet is difficult! Sipping a litre throughout the day and being consistent for a human is difficult. So I figured... greater concentration in the litre bottle combined with less frequent but greater 'sips' might work.
Starting with Walter Last's 1 teaspoon Borax in a litre of (distilled) water, of which we know that 1 teaspoon gives 3 mg Boron.
Therefore 18 teaspoons would give you 56mg Boron.
Divide this 18 teaspoons into 6 teaspoons 3 times a day. (Giving 18.66mg Boron per dose) (Also the litre doesn't have to be made up every day)
This would be manageable to give to a dog or for a female human (double the dose for a male). (4 or 5 days a week?)
Can anyone see a problem with this, please? Or has anyone tried this way? I understand it's horses for courses (pardon the pun) but topical application with DMSO is difficult on a very hairy dog!

People speak of adding 'a pinch' of borax to their pet's food and the dosage from Ted is 1/8 or 1/4 teaspoon added to a litre of water. Given that a dog or cat might drink a bowl full of water or half or whatever, is it OK for them to drink the whole (or half) daily dose in one sitting? (This is very different to a human sipping throughout the day or taking 3mg twice a day)

When I had dogs with allergies to flea/tick saliva, they were absolutely miserable during hot weather! Constant scratching & biting was the ticket, all day & much of the night, 24/7!
I tried vinegar sprayed on their coats (they hated it, probably because I didn't know to dilute it with water 50/50), and it worked to keep the fleas away / from biting, as they had no problems for 11-12 hours after each spraying!
After awhile I wondered if Aloe vera gel would do the same thing, and I had extra such plants growing in my yard ... so, I opened a fresh leaf & rubbed that 'goo' all over their fur ... and it also kept the parasites from biting them ... whether by repelling them or making it so they could not recognize by scent that the dogs were available to snack on, IDK which, or maybe something else was at play. HOwever it did so, it DID work ... WITHOUT ... ANY ... added preservatives ... at all!!!

If it is scarcopic everyone in ur home will itch have rashes ect .u will know. u can't not know if it's scabies
Demodex mange mites are only passed from dog to dog
all dogs have demodex mites they get them from their mom,
It's usually not a problem until the dog gets stressed, the immune system gets compromised, or they are puppies.
I've been fighting and spent so much money on these little rescue dogs, but I think I've got the remedy now.
Also vets will skin scrape even biopsy but they have to get a mite which is almost impossible an they won't diagnose unless they find one. They are super fast and not trying to get scraped up
Kind of a rip off deal with the vet .
U know they know it's almost impossible to get a mite so they keep calling it fungus, allergy's, infections everything under the sun.
And keep charging you
When they treat for these things it gets better for a while antibiotics help because they have secondary infections due to chewing and scratching. anti inflammatory help because the swelling goes down for a bit but underneath it all
the mites are continuing to live breed and eat your dog.
Ted's mange bomb is the only ONLY THING THAT I HAVE FOUND TO WORK
IT'S CONSUMING IN THAT U HAVE TO STICK TO THE SCHEDULE
JUST BATHE YOUR DOG When U SHOWER EVERY OTHER DAY AND SO ON.
U CAN ALSO USE BORAX IN UR MOP WATER OR MIX WITH WATER TO WIPE DOWN DOG KENNELS ECT.
IT WILL WORK GOOD LUCK
Ps I just learned that yeast on a dog caused by them eating foods that cause yeast make the dog extra yummy to mites so a high protein low carb no junk food diet can help fight them off this means little to no people food and nothing white bread tortilla potato's corn stuff like that avoiding these foods make it dog less appetizing to the mites.

2yr Old Akita - Is New Mom Shedding Too much? GisWell (Atlanta, USA) on 04/25/2025
In January we changed her food to the puppy plus Lactating Mom brand from our local feed store. After she weened the pups we changed her back to the regular adult dog food. We used Wellness Brand for the first year of all our dog’s lives. Now we’ve switched to Costco’s brand, which they all seem to like. We drizzle a bit of coconut oil (1T) over the dry food & they like that too.
Her thick double coat appears to have vanished. She was very stressed concerning her pups and has now adjusted to having just one around. Before pregnant she held steady at 105lbs. She weighed 127lbs before the birth. Today she’s at 95lbs and she’s looking awfully thin. This was our first litter too. I use ACV for everything but have no idea what works for our dogs. They are my sunshine on cloudy days! Please Help!
Any suggestions of what to do? Thanks!
