Also he has warts growing all over his body. I have been treating him (for about 3 1/2 weeks now) with 10 drops of mms to 1 ounce of distilled water using a spray bottle. I see some improvement but not much. He still scratches a lot and has some under belly redness, swelling, etc. He also has it on his face, paws, and has loss of hair from a while ago above his eyes.
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the MMS that I don't see improvement.
Thank you very much for your help.

ReikiRanch.net, 360-748-4426, talk to Talor. She is the best and will answer questions. Understand I am not saying Taylor is a doctor or is giving medical advice. Taylor can give suggestions, do as you please with her suggestions. A set of MMS and activator is around $48 and will last a long time. I put it in my water. Been using it going slow now for months. Finally got rid of the bloat around my middle.
Oh, they sell some great books also. Ones the big pharma don't want you to know about! Ask Taylor or look it up on the website.

Hi. I am trying to find a safe sunscreen with a 30 or higher SPF for my 11 year old pitbull's tummy. Epi-pet does not sound safe to me.

Ted...Have a 1yr old GSD w allergic type dermatitis on belly/paws/muzzle...Antibiotics take down staph/yeast which I think are secondary to hypersensitivity from multiple vaccinations in early mos....Read fr William Campbell Douglas how H2O2 Orally would oxidize circulating antibodies to reset system w new ones....I'd like your opinion, am thinking of trying oral H202 or oral MMS chlorite since no topical treatments seem to get to the root of the problem.

Just to add my 2 cents. My dog is a six year old Shih tzu cross, had him three years. Always had a patch on his lower back ("blackheads" in the pores and on the hair). Not obvious unless clipped short.
I would paint the area with chlorhexidine and forget about it until the next clipping. A few months back I noticed dried blood. The area has started to ulcerate and spread up his back. The area is itchy and he does not like you touching it.
Now I had to look more carefully, many possible reasons (and there can be primary and secondary causes):
1 Allergies
2 Fungal
3 Bacterial
4 Mites
5 Fleas and tics
As the affected area was on his back where soap is applied when bathed, I changed to a low allergenic shampoo and reduced the frequency of baths from 2 weekly to 6 weekly (he is not a smelly dog! ).
-> No change after three months, getting worse so we discounted an allergic reaction (although we did not try an antihistamine).
We then hit him with a round of antibiotics and chlorhexidine wash.
That cleaned up the skin infection but no improvement beyond that.
So when on holidays for a week and upon return and his next bath the condition had worsened. He starting to loss hair and the skin quite ulcerated and bleeding.
Okay, off to the vet (the vet is useless, her diagnosis was flea bite dermatosis but at least we got another round of antibiotics).
So we clipped the area so we an see it better and started the another round of antibiotics and chlorhexidine wash.
After two days the skin was looking better so we painted the area with borax and peroxide solution with a cotton swab.
After the treatment I examined the cotton swab and the remaining discoloured solution under a mag-light (my eyesight is not very good anymore) in a white plastic container. Although the mag-light is only x2 I could see a couple of the mites wiggling in the solution (tiny black carrots a fraction of a millimeter in length).
That night the skin looked better and some "blackheads" where now "whiteheads".
The next day he skin was a bit scaly. After the second treatment I could only see only dead mites in the contaminated solution. An hour or so later, some of his "blackhead" pores had opened up.
So it is working very well so far. Not all the blackheads are gone but they are disappearing.
We intent to do a full dip of all our dogs in the next few days.
I chose to use borax and peroxide over other remedies because they are both safe to use on "your own" skin.

He has been shedding and scratching and butting himself and has a terrible smell. Cannot afford to take him to vet. Vets are very expensive and not always helpful and the meds they prescribe are very costly also.
Thanks again. I am so glad for the Internet!

He had done a blood panel on her and said she showed signs of infection but no heartworms. She had what the vet called a fairly high fever, clear runny nose, gagging and occasionally a small amount of vomit, difficulty breathing, especially when lying down, fatigue, occasional staring into space or at the ceiling and a sudden development of fear of things she was never afraid of before. With the use of the antibiotic 2x and several supplements 5x day all of that is considerably better if not gone.
What is not better are the skin lesions. At first they were on the last foot or so of her back right up to the top of her tail. Now with the application of Neem oil and less regular addtion to the oil of dmso her back has cleared up. Also her nose had a crust across the top of it which is/was about 1/2 to 3/4 cleared up. I say was because the sores started appearing on the inside of one of her hind legs, a few on her belly and one on one front elbow. They may be the same or something different and it seemed like the more she licked the area the more it looked like the skin of her muzzle was getting pink and slightly swollen.
Well last night I was exhausted, the leg seemed worse than ever, swelling in spots, pinker and feverish, more sores, she would want me to throw her ball & after one time she'd go lay down looking worried which I figured meant she wanted to play but was in too much pain.
In desperation I read here on earthclinic enough treatments to get my head spinning and threw together what little I could find, 1/4 cup ACV, 1 tbsp epsom salts melted into a 1/4 cup very warm water, stirred it all together and sprayed and rubbed it into the leg and collapsed into bed.
Well today she is bouncing around happy, wanting to play, appetite improved (she stole the cat's last night chicken) and the inflammation and swelling in her leg seems 50% better. Here's hoping it continues to improve. I have been giving her the supplements wrapped in balls of Friskies cat food as every other thing I used failed to appeal to her after a couple of days and since I didn't raise her she gives me heck when I try to put them down her throat manually. I am feeding her raw organic chicken which pre-illness she'd wolf down a half chicken but now has been doing good to eat a quarter of one which sometimes takes hand feeding to persuade her to do. Hoping at mealtime this evening she'll also improve there. Just realized I've written a book here. Sorry but hoping it helps someone. Any advice welcome and appreciated.

60 days - We now give her the dose every other day. To keep upset stomach side effect eliminated we keep medicine refrigerated and give her bite of treat 1st before giving her the medicine. A little food and chilled medicine have all but completely eliminated the only side effect we had of vomiting.

Her cat seemed ok, and I gave her 'Echinacea Goldenseal' to fight infection. About 3 weeks later one of her glands in her neck was about the size of a tennis ball, I gave her the remedy again for 2 weeks, 2 weeks off, 2 weeks on again. The lump halved in size, but still goes up and down, I am giving her colloidal silver and massaging the lump, but it still hasn't gone away. What can I give her to make the gland drain out? There is nothing at the skin level that is ulcerated or seeping, just the lump inside. Thanks.

Dogs & Cats with skin rashes or seasonal skin irritations apply luke warm Rooibos tea with a cotton swab to the affected area 2 to 3 times a day for approx 2 to 3 days. The rash will scab up and heal. Don't use Cortisone creams for rash treatment unless it is very nasty.
One teabag in a cup, pour boiling water into the cup and leave it till it is luke warm. Then apply it with a cotton swab to the affected are, you can also use it at room temperature. Just leave the tea bag in for a nice strong concentration.

1 of our dogs is very itchy. Had to put him on prednisone till I received my homeopatic remedy Psorinum. I have to wait now for a few weeks before I can start this remedy. This remedy is apperently very useful for most skin issues and also treating mange!
Hope this is helpfull.

Our vet thought he had Staph infection and placed him on antibiotics for 9 weeks. Some healed but others remained and now more large scabs on his sides. I just realized that the problem began when we switched him to the boiled ground beef. It might be coincidental but I'm not sure.
I have slowly but surely weaned him off the beef and back on the Iams lamb and rice with a can of lamb as he had eaten for 11 years with no problem. I hope this works and maybe this was only an allergic reaction to the beef.
He is acting fine, eating well and not even itching with these scabs. Has anyone ever heard of this? We are hoping this reconciles itself because no one is sure what this is and how to cure it.
Thank you for any feedback. It's greatly appreciated.
Best to all of you,
Jack's Mom
