My lab mix got a spot on her shoulder, and one under her leg. We took her to the vet, they did a mite scrape but it came back negative. A week later, and the spots have gotten worse with new ones starting to appear. We tried the apple cider vinegar remedy at first, but it wasn't appearing to do anything. Then we tried Ted's cure and her hair started growing back! This mix really is working. Her hair is mostly/all grown back after about 6 weeks!

I used this on our Min Schnauzer mix. He had lost his hair in places, had a horrible yeast smell and ear irritation. The vet said he was allergic to Chicken and prescribed expensive medicines. We have tried dog food without chicken, tried Coconut oil, and everything we could think of. NOTHING HELPED until I tried your remedy.
We followed the directions to a T. Bathed him twice a week for the first 2 weeks and noticed a difference after the 2nd bath. He actually felt better. He still itched and had red spots but we saw improvement. After about 3 weeks I noticed his hair was growing back on his chest.
We continued through the 8 weeks. He looks great. His coat is thick and shinny and he feels great. He's more active and doesn't have that horrible yeast smell any longer.

Unbelievable! After first bath, my pit with quite horrible mange stopped itching! He layed belly up on couch for hours finally at peace. He is 99% cured. His hair returned to a full dark grey after only having a streak following his spine down his tail. At this point his hair was falling and 90% turned an ashy grey. Bumps, scabs and a little blood overcame his entire body. His eyes were bloodshot and quite lethargic.
Timeline
Day 1-bathed with dawn, rinsed and applied solution w/o drying. Note: I aggressively lathered him up with my fingernails, I mean agressively, and removed all scabs in the process from over his body.
After rinsing him off, I doused him with the solution and worked it in with fingernails.
Day 2 and 3 was only the dousing with solution, took day 4 off and did day 5 by repeating the actions aforementioned in day 1.
He is currently on day three of fish oil supplement morsels snacks and his hair is unbelievably rich and beautiful. I'm taken aback by how instantly this borax solution worked and the hundreds of $$$ it saved me ...oh, and his wet dog stench ceased immediately after first drench!
A million thanks for this remedy!

Borax for Mange
For all those still struggling with Demodex Mange........................
Wanted to quickly share my experience in the hope that you all don't give up. I have a Boston Terrier whose Puppy Mange got out of control around 14 weeks of age. I tried everything! From Borax to "Happy Dog Naturals" to a few holistic/natural shampoos found on the Internet. Also Coconut Oil and Neem Oil.
Whatever I tried, the Mange seemed to persist. Well...............he just turned ONE and the weirdest thing, it has all but gone away. But I know for sure the Borax formula works. At one point I was so frustrated and felt so bad for seemingly torturing my puppy with daily rub downs and several 'dips' per week; so I just stopped altogether. At that time, he went from say 50% hair loss to 90% hair loss! So for sure the products work to somewhat keep the Mange outbreak at bay.
So if any of you are frustrated and worried............take heart. I had heard from several sources -- including Dr. Pitcairn -- that Mange seemed to go away around the year ONE. Well.....................weird, but this was our case too.
Be patient, be persistent and most of all, PLEASE AVOID CHEMICALS! It will get better. Cheers!

Thank you for replying so fast. I have changed Mara's diet to grain free. I give her immune support supplements and watch everything she eats. She has not been spayed yet and that has to be done. I'm very upset about this and I'll stay in touch with her progress. Thank you so much.

Hello Linda,
Your pet may be having a toxic reaction to an overdose of the medicated bath + mange spray. If this were my dog I would strongly consider seeing the vet for accidental poisoning and check blood for organ function. If that is out of the question you might consider giving your dog activated charcoal - you can buy capsules at most health food stores. Homeopathic Nux Vomica may also be indicated. Please report back.

Hey Louise!
What pesticide did you apply that gave you good results?
While demodex is not contagious, sarcoptic mange IS, and if you are seeing this spread in your pets and your friends pets who socialize with your pets it is something to consider. Sarcoptic mange requires not just treating the animal but the environment - please read up and see if that sounds like what you are dealing with.
Red bumps that turn into crusty scabs - when I have seen it in my dogs - has been allergy related. It could be a pollen allergy, blowing in on the wind, or a contact allergy to a certain substance - grass. And it also could be a flea bite allergy; this is why I am curious about the pesticide that worked for you.
You might find of benefit alkalizing your dogs drinking water with baking soda; this helps balance their PH which improves the entire body system and can make them less appealing to fleas.
Please report back!

I used Ted's mange cure and it worked fine! But on my dog after using it twice the good skin on her stomach pruned up a bit (like fingers after a long bath) so I rinsed her skin after bathing her in a mild shampoo. This worked fine on my dog and she is doing great! My dog was sensitive to using the mange cure too often. Use it sparingly with some dogs. I would now use it only once only and then see how the treatment affects particular your dog skin type.

Hello Lisa,
Red & oozing = skin infection IMHO. Have you been to the vet for this condition? Did they diagnose mange?
The remedy when I have used it did not sting; that your dog seems ouchy from it means something else is going on.
Dogs with severe demodex can develop a secondary skin infection and it sounds like your dog has gone that route. IMHO conventional antibiotics are helpful here, however you can also use a natural remedy but it can take much longer to take effect. Turmeric and colloidal silver are two remedies that can be helpful here, but there are a host of others as well.
Did you soak your dog in Ted's mange remedy per the directions? The feet being affected/pododemidicosis can be very hard to treat; standing your dog in a vat of the remedy for half an hour would be my approach, all the while pouring the remedy over and over him during the half hour. Some find a small amount of the dip to be effective but if I have to treat - and I use the mange remedy as a general skin funk dip - I make up a big batch and fill a large plastic storage bin for a small dog, or make as much as I can in the bathtub for a big dog. The key is to keep wet and working for as long as you can, and in the case of the feet to have them soaking in the solution.
In your shoes I would strongly consider taking my dog to the vet to check out the bacterial skin infection. I would NOT do an Amitraz dip, though I would consider Ivermectin if you do not see any improvement after 5 dips [every other day].
Also to consider; diet - make sure you are feeding good groceries, no diets with lots of food dyes and grains or corn as these can cause skin problems. You might consider alkalizing your dog's drinking water OR doing Ted's borax protocol for dogs - again in the drinking water.
If this is mange, you will need to treat it 2-3 times a week for up to 12 weeks - so keep in mind this is a long term condition that heals slowly.
Please report back!

I gave my dog his third bath tonight and things are looking very good. He's improved and I'm feeling very good about this. I just posted a longer more detailed description of how he's doing but ran into some technical glitch so I don't know if it went through or not. Anyway, everything's going well and I will continue on with it!

My dog just got his 4th borax bath tonight and he is dramatically improved. His red spots on his body are about 80% gone - and it's been just a week. His feet, however, still have a ways to go. It's very tricky with the feet because apparently when mites set up house in the paw pads they bore in very deeply. His paws are still a bit swollen, so I am going to soak just his paws every day. I do also dry them with a cool hair dryer after the soak so it gets good and dry between his toes. (It's not always easy to get him to lay still for that! )
Anyway, this treatment is incredibly effective if you do it exactly as you're supposed to. I am also giving the dog borax in his water. 1/8 teaspoon per liter/quart. I will stop that as soon as the swelling in his paws goes down.

Karen - Don't lose hope! Our dog had the worst case of mange, it was untreated for like 3 years, antibiotics barely doing anything... we treated him, first 2 months were bad, but we noticed a lot of the itching stopped, but not all of it... he then lost all his hair and then looked terrible (they start to look worse before better! , also super lethargic! )
Then weeks go by, slowly growing hair back... now he looks amazing but not grown all the hair back, but majority! No more scabs! Just keep at it and sooth his or her skin with coconut oil when dry. Maybe get a cone for his head to stop licking and biting. God bless, I hope your dog gets better!

Thank you for the comments! So since I made this post, there has been changes for the better! His itching has stopped a lot, but still shakes his head and whole body when he gets up. His head has all of the dry scabs off and his ears he used to not let us even touch, and we can flap them open, massage them, anything! So they cleared up. His energy has picked up as well! We can also see little hairs starting to grow all over his backside where it was bald before. The only thing is he still has some open scabs on his upper back. There is a little patch of hair left, I feel most the mites are there though. We keep giving him a bath every 3-4 days so we are just keeping and staying positive :). We definitely will take them into the vet if he gets any worse!
I will keep in mind everyone's advice - thank you!

I found Mange cure two weeks ago.
Within a week my bulldog puppy's itching stopped 85%!! It was a miracle! Thank you so much Ted and everyone!!! We have been through a hellish time for 6 months!!
My puppy had a adverse reaction to her last puppy shot. She became worn out and not her self for 3 days. We gave her some homeopathic Sulfur which got her back to her puppy self and energy but she started the itching then.
She had ear issues when I got her and so she was having some issues maybe from vaccines or DNA or something before.
I had her on raw dog food and probiotics.
What ever happened her immune system could not keep the balance and about 2 months after the last vaccine she started not only itching but now breaking the skin and getting sores. A down hill slide started to happen to her skin. The regular vet said she had awful allergies.
(I wish I had know about the possiblity of mange I could have help her before as in her immune couldn't keep the mites, fugus, and yeast away till she got stronger)
I started two weeks ago using the mange cure exactly as prescribed. I do it every other day as my little bulldog had it so bad. Around her eye and whole side of face, under the chin looked like red elephant trunk skin! Her neck down over her shoulders she would scratch bloody all the area's and was lossing hair. She was living in a turtleneck Tee shirt and a soft cone. This was going on for about 5 months!! She looked like the kind of dogs they put down.
(Does anyone know how long before the elepant skin will become normal? It is better and the swelling is down)
I had her scraped by a regular not natural vet. when someone finally suggested it and they found no mange. But finally I realized if it looks like mange and smells like mange it is mange! Not sure what everyone was thinking that I had consulted with natural people in the pet industry at natural pet stores etc. They didn't recognize mange either. But just the hint from the vet made me go look for a natural cure on mange and found you TED!! Thank you!!!!!!!!
She also was so yeasty. Smelling like cornchips. Feet biting, ear red and blotchy. A mess. I did natural cure with raw food diet and a raw goat milk fermented with buttermilk culture for 6 months. But only got worse on the skin but though other things inside her got better, occasional wetting, rusty stuff around her vulva and mucus in throat. All that is gone now.
I didn't realize that mange, yeast and staph and other opportunistic things where adding to the problems of her immune system being off. I thought the nutritional and homeopathic meds were enough and didn't know I had to do out side things. Like a woman's yeast infection needs on going washes. Till the body can catch up.
My puppy lost her energy. This went on from age 6 months to now a year!
I found Mange cure two weeks ago.
Within a week her itching stopped 85%!! It was a miracle!
In these last 3 weeks I have added all kinds of food base nutritional things to her diet, new homepathics and used Dr. Becker's vet on Dr. Marcolas web.. "Yeast infection in dogs" site.
I made up a solution to spray 1-2 times aday.
1 cup Hydrogen Peroxide, 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar, 1 gallon distilled water, 1/4 cup colloidal silver and optional lavender or peppermint 10 drops or less. Also I added a little borax for the mange.
I spray her down with this morning and night when I haven't done the Mange Cure that day.
I also dip her feet morning and night in the water, vinegar and Hydrogen Peroxide mentioned by Dr. Becker. Sometime more if she is biting them! I also powder her with organic cornstarch to dry her webs in feet and underarms out.
We are finally finding Peace. What a wonderful thing!!!
I also have been going to a homeopathic friend who is a expert. She guided me along and we have been treating her for 6 months. We finally broke through to deeper levels. It is like peeling off layers of an onion. Some of the major helps in remedies were homeopathic, Psorium, Phosphoricum, Tuberculium, And the best ones where...Mercury Corrosivus 30 c up to 10 M. but because she was right sided and had throat issues major snoring..it was Mercurius Iodatus Flavus for her. Again we had to keep uping the does over a months time from 30 c to 10 M. Mercury has a strong smell sometimes metallic and are very sensitive! My friend noticed the smell and when we looked up the symptoms for skin it matched perfectly. We were on are way. My puppy also wanted to be warm all the time. Even though her body was so hot. (I thought she needed Sulfur because of that they are hot)
The best remedy for most dogs' skin is Sulfur but she was too sick and it took more layers and remedies to help her. Finally she started manifesting the full on symptoms of Sulfur. She was now avoiding hot and wanted to be cool! And of course the skin issues. And worse baths or water. And very lazy sleeping all the time but wakes up with other dogs or people. Sulphur are very social. I give her the Sulphur 30 once or so a day as needed you can tell by symptoms..itching attacks for us. And once a week we added Psorium which helps get the deeper issue that Miasim..(google homeopathy and Miasims)
So having given that about 3 weeks ago and now 2 weeks ago the mange and yeast cure we are on our way to health!! Finally!!!!
I know this is lots of info but it if helps you great. Get a good natural vet who does homeopathy if you can find one. I couldn't in my town and had to do what I could. They are out there though and now I do know of a few nearby. Just don't need them now. Learned the hard way..smile.
I am so thankful for Ted and all the others on Earth Clinic!!!!!! Blessings,
Lynn
PS this was the first dog I had had in 25 years. Dogs didn't used to have so many issues. But now you need a degree in Dog medicine to know how to handle all the eeidemic of issues. Thank God for the new interest, with raw food and people like you on Earth Clicnic to help us.
Dear All,
I am at my wit's end! Our 2.5 year old (street) dog has been chronically itchy for 5 months now. I put her on a raw, high protein diet about 4 months ago to try and cure it and she seem's quite healthy other than this incessant self-mutilation. Having been put on antibiotics for most of her young life by our original vet I decided to take her to a holistic vet who has put her on a TCM medicine (she didn't do any skin scrapings and didn't suggest it was mites)
She has now been taking the TCM (cooling medicine) for about a month with no real improvement. I then found Ted's cure and as her symptoms seem to be the same I decided to give it a go. I did the peroxide borax solution first and then as there was little improvement after a few days I used the vinegar borax solution and then again, a few days later, have just done a second peroxide/borax solution - all exactly as directed. Although the worst of it was on her hindquarters which at this stage seem a bit better although she is still chewing them a little when her cone is off, she is now attacking her neck viciously with her back paws (even when she is wearing a cone collar) and now has some awful infected lesions on her neck. IS THIS NORMAL???
I am really despairing and am under severe pressure to take her to a "normal" vet but am worried they will want to give her more antibiotics or even worse the awful chemical dips. Please, can those of you who have done the Ted's cure tell me if this reaction is normal ? thanks you in advance for any input you can give!

BETTER BUT WITH SIDE EFFECTS
I started treating my 6 year old German Shepherd Dog with Ted's wonderful mange cure two weeks ago. He has had six treatments in total. Immediately after the first treatment I could tell he felt so much better. He ran around the yard chasing his kitties up trees and barking like a young puppy again. Despite his improved attitude he is still going quite bald on his rump and the end of his tail looks as if it belongs on a rat not my baby!!!
He has pretty bad thickening of his skin on his elbows and at the base of his tail. After reading reviews regarding this treatment plan I know already that I'm in for the long haul and will do whatever it takes to get him through this. He is and has been my constant companion and friend for these six years and deserves to be treated as the King he is. So I would like first to tell you how extremely grateful I am for this website and all the love and attention I know you have put into it.
I have a question regarding the flaking he has developed now. On the second morning after the first treatment I was greeted by a dog that was sporting what turned out to be cartoon sized snowflakes of dry skin all over his back and rump area. I was able to remove them with much brushing and no complaints on Kings part. I was wondering if this was normal and will it continue for the duration of his treatment?
My other question is in regard to the thickened skin patches he has developed. Will these go away over time and what should I use to speed their disappearance?
Thank you again for all the knowledge you have shared with us here. You have saved King's life and me a lifetime of feeling guilty. I was losing all hope for finding a cure for him since I had tried everything that I could find and nothing but nothing had even acted like it was going to help. Your website was deemed to be my last search. I had made him suffer for so long and couldn't stand the thought of him being miserable any longer due to my inability to cure him and I have no money for the vet. So I had to find someway to get him help that I could afford. You really deserve so much more than a simple thank you. You saved my best friends life. If ever in anyway I can be of assistance to you please don't hesitate to ask. I am forever in debt to you.

WORKED TEMPORARILY
Hello Keith
If me, and I have used it with success is
1 Ted's Mange Treatment
2 Ted's anti staph solution for spraying
3 ACV on wash cloth improving the ph
4 The best : UT = your own best body blue print medicine.
5 Last NOT least, Turmeric. Dry powder
Turmeric is a natural anti biotic, excellent for skin and new blood which has largely healed my big dog's entire back which was bloody and infected. My belief is that allopathic antibiotics become precurser for candida and then cancer
My big dog had red mange and I used an essential orange oil household cleaner, spraying. It worked super well. Also, it kills fleas and keeps the skin soft.
ACV as a spray kills fleas well and you can soon see them dead all over which I did not suspect at first. But one needs to spray this at least twice a day, not so with TIKO orange spray which I think is the best but I like to use a multi pronged approach. And ACV is important as it changes the skin ph. You dilute ACV as the dog can handle.
The very best is which people shun but believe me, it is a divine remedy which is God's gift, used all over the world. On him I have used mine and he liked that. But I want to find a long handled 2nd hand pot to take his which is best. But both work. Fresh urine is sterile and does not have an odour. It heals every thing and you can research that.
I still have mites. The last lot from a garment at a big store in Canada. I have soaked a soft terry cloth and used fresh "Manava Mutra" for a month and keep at it as there is far less problem. Also :Shivambhu" as it is called in India, is the answer to all human and animal troubles, cleaning the aura which holds the roots of diseases physically and mentally. Moreover the skin will glow and be beautiful.
Anyway, this is my way and I wish you both all the best success. Namaste Om
General Feedback
Hey Erikajay!
Sarcoptic mange mites are very contagious and cause 'scabies' in humans; they cannot reproduce on humans, but will live for about 5 days and cause an itchy rash. You should contact your physician if your kids develop an itchy rash and let them know they were exposed to scabies.
The good thing is that with treatment your dog should not be contagious after about 5 days. While you have already treated your dog via your vet - and I am assuming it is an oral miticide, it would be wise to use the mange remedy on this site to address the exterior of your dog to kill as many mites as quickly as possible to reduce possible transmission to your kids. It is also a good idea to use the mange remedy on every single other pet in the household to avoid those pets getting infected with scabies as well.
Lastly, don't forget to clean, clean, clean - and sterilize any dog bedding, the crate or area where the dog resides, and all areas where the dog may access.
Good luck, and thank you for rescuing this dog!

Per Ted's mange remedy, which is excellent for cat mites by the way, what amount of borax is safe to mix in my cats' food for internal pest control? Ted mentioned giving his dog 1/8 th of a tsp. in?a litre of water. Cats do not drink much water relative to dogs so any suggestions re: adding to food? The baths are working great but we are still not eliminating the black specks--not flea dirt or dirt--entirely. Thank you.
Ted's Dog Mange Cure in Spanish
Google traducción de bórax Ted Remedio:
Ted's Perro Cure Sarna (más popular)
¡ATENCION!
NO confunda BORAX con ácido bórico!
No use ácido bórico en un LUGAR DE BORAX!
Ted de Bangkok, Tailandia escribe: "La mejor cura para la sarna del perro es mezclar un 1% de hidrógeno solución de peróxido de agua y añada bórax. Disolver completamente. Lavar el perro con él una vez a la semana. NO lave la solución a la izquierda en el perro con el agua. No limpie el perro seco. La solución se llevará a efecto en la sarna. El período de tratamiento no debe ser superior a un mes o dos. El perro probablemente no será resistente como el tratamiento es indoloro. Esto ha funcionado bien para mí ".
Más medidas exactas (extraído de varios correos electrónicos en nuestro lector de la sección de preguntas y respuestas)
Ted responde: "Una receta definitiva es añadir 1-2 cucharadas de bórax por cada 500 cc de solución al 1% de peróxido de hidrógeno ("H202). Para hacer un peróxido de hidrógeno al 3% a 1%, aproximadamente obtener una parte de H2O2 al 3%, más dos partes de agua. Luego, se aplican en el perro. Lavar con esta solución todos los días, no en sentido. Si no desaparece, he encontrado ácaros, sarna o alguna parte de tener un gran "colmena" oculto. En cuyo caso, poner en cuarentena el perro en un pequeña área que está 100% estéril. "
"Dimensiones aproximadas son: 1 frasco de 500 de H2O2 al 3%, más 1000 de la cc de agua, más 3 cucharadas colmadas de bórax. Revuelva hasta que la mayoría de bórax se disuelva. El bórax es más allá del punto de saturación de aquí, así que podrás ver algunos bórax alrededor. Técnicamente, la concentración es de alrededor de 1,5% H2O2, y esto es un poco más fuerte porque en el momento de terminar con ella, el H2O2 se reaccionó con otras cosas, y cuando lo usamos es por lo general termina cerca de un 1 % de la solución de todos modos. "
"Usted tiene que estar puesto como bórax mucho hasta que se disuelva ya no está en un cubo de agua y forma un precipitado. Se trata de una solución saturada de bórax. Añadir H2O2 al 1% la concentración en un cubo de agua. Remoje el perro entero, en varias ocasiones. Mantenga el perro mojado durante algún tiempo. El bórax se destruyen los huevos de por debajo de la piel que causa la sarna. Obtener una solución y el aerosol o utilícelo para limpiar todos los pisos por lo que el perro no va a recibir una nueva infección. Repita este todas las semanas al bañarse. Esto no es una cura perfecta, pero mi perro ya no tiene sarna. Mi perro se curó completamente. Puede probar otros productos químicos como perborato de sodio, que es más conveniente ya que no es necesario añadir el peróxido de hidrógeno. "
"La solución (bórax o, preferentemente, perborato de sodio), debe aplicarse después del champú y enjuague. El perborato de sodio debe permanecer en el perro después del baño. No se le aclare en absoluto. Debe seguir siendo en el perro durante todo el día para que se pronunciará continuamente acerca de los errores. "
"Sin embargo, recomiendo una forma menos tóxica de bórax, que es perborato de sodio si usted puede encontrar uno. El secreto es que el bórax (más de peróxido de hidrógeno) funcionarán mejor que otros remedios más he tratado, esto incluye el aceite mineral, el neem de aceite (no, el aceite de neem no mata la sarna con la mayor eficacia perborato sódico) Lo he probado. En mi colonias sarna "y marcas comerciales para matar insectos no funcionan. NO NO MATAR El peróxido de hidrógeno sarna, lo usé SIMPLEMENTE utilizado como un catalizador para el bórax ordinario en caso de que usted no puede obtener perborato de sodio. Aceites minerales simplemente evitar que el oxígeno de la sarna de llegar, pero eso no ha impedido. He tratado de nafta, arcillas bentonita, DMSO, el permanganato de potasio, el fluido de luz, etc . Todos trabajaron temporalmente, y que acaba de regresar. tengo que hacer una fuerte declaración de que la fórmula (bórax + H2O2 o perborato de sodio) Las obras mejores marcas y es de amplio espectro. Se puede utilizar para controlar la sarna, los ácaros, pulgas y la enfermedad de Lyme (iniciado por los insectos espeluznantes). De hecho, he comparado lado a lado con aceite de neem, aceite mineral, vinagre de sidra de manzana y otros aquí en Bangkok y esta es la cura espectro más amplio que he encontrado. Bórax evita la desnaturalización del ADN / ARN en el perro y yo lo estén utilizando como extensión de la vida para los perros. Por ejemplo, un azúcar ribosa, el azúcar desoxirribosa, el azúcar y diversas causas de envejecimiento acelerado en los perros puede ser frenado con la suplementación de los perros indirectamente al hacer el lavado de bórax. "
"Peróxido Preparar una solución al 1%, añadir 2-3 cucharadas de bórax a la taza. Revolver y esperar un par de minutos para que el bórax se disuelva. La fórmula no requiere de una ciencia exacta. La importancia es agregar bórax suficiente hasta la solución ya no es soluble y el pasado y la saturación. "
"... La razón por la que no funciona es USTED NO PUEDE EL PERRO DE ENJUAGUE bórax y solución de peróxido con cualquier champú o el agua. Después de que el perro de baño, mantener al perro de esa manera, no secar sin enjuagar. Por ello, el perro tiene no ha mejorado. BORAX También se agrega directamente a la solución de peróxido de hidrógeno al 1% y no se añade agua por separado, de lo contrario la solución es demasiado débil. "
UPDATE TED'S
7/12/2006: "He revisado todos los tratamientos del perro sarna, tanto por mis propias pruebas y por muchos contribuyentes. Parece que mucha gente tiene problemas para obtener materiales, como el perborato sódico hidratado, por lo que revisó el recurso al peróxido de hidrógeno más solución de bórax aplica sólo una vez más o menos cada semana. La solución de hidrato de perborato de sodio es muy similar al de bórax y el peróxido de hidrógeno se agrega. Algunos han sustituido ya sea con peróxido de hidrógeno peróxido de benzoilo.
El problema de peróxido de benzoilo es el límite superior por el cual usted puede usarlo sin efecto el perro, ya que es algo más tóxico si se les da más allá de una concentración del 10%. 5% es generalmente una concentración segura. El peróxido de benzoilo, debido a su toxicidad es algo de un insecticida, mientras que el peróxido de hidrógeno no es, lo que es en la formulación original es que es un penetrante que permite el bórax que pasar por la piel. Ahora algunos no como el peróxido de hidrógeno debido a su oferta es limitada, así que hacen uso del vinagre de sidra de manzana. Para mí, una de vinagre ordinario es suficiente. Tanto el vinagre y peróxido de hidrógeno tiene dos similitudes. Es a la vez penetrante y cuando se añade con un material seguro insecticidas como el bórax, que tiene una toxicidad DL 50 equivalente a la de la sal, este es el método preferido. Sin embargo, uno no debe usar el ácido bórico muertes ya que se presentan asociados con el ácido bórico, pero no bórax.
El ácido bórico no está recomendado para su uso ya que es mucho más tóxico que el bórax. toxicidad de Borax es alrededor de 3000 mg / kg, que es el equivalente a cerca de la toxicidad de la sal. (Wikipedia cheque). La idea es hacer una solución de bórax para que la solución puede cubrir todo el cuerpo y penetran a través de la piel del perro para matar los ácaros Demodex, por ejemplo. Para utilizar un tratamiento in situ de polvo puro tomará un tiempo infinitamente largo, ya que no hacerlo en la piel del perro.
En algunos casos, las personas han tratado de aceite de neem, aceite mineral. Ambos tienen una eficacia similar, pero de diferentes maneras. Neem aceite evita que las pulgas Demodex pongan huevos mediante la modificación de sus hormonas, mientras que los hidrocarburos son moderadamente tóxicos sólo para los huevos demodex, no necesariamente los mata. Sin embargo, ambos son muy limitados sobre la base de las pruebas que realicé en realidad matar a los insectos. Usted ve que tanto el bórax matar a los huevos, la modificación de las hormonas y sus huevos mediante el secado de todos a la vez. La debilidad de bórax es limitada solubilidad y la penetración limitada de la piel que necesita o bien el vinagre, el peróxido de hidrógeno, peróxido de benzoilo (tóxico), MSM o solución de DMSO. Lo ideal sería que DMSO 10% se debe preferir.
Pino Sol ha limitado la eficacia insecticida, que es un insecticida de contacto, y no proporcionan energía duradera matar una vez que se haya evaporado y no mata las pulgas que viven, pero no mata los huevos un poco. Sólo una solución bastante concentrada de obras y no impedir que vuelvan a la postura de huevos perdidos por el perro. En otras palabras, el uso de aceite de neem, aceite mineral, el peróxido de benzoilo, y vaselina no impedirá que el recurrente de la sarna, ya los huevos no son sólo en el perro, pero puede ser en cualquier lugar de la casa. Por lo tanto la re-infección es que se trata. La magia que bórax tiene sobre sus vecinos es que el polvo de bórax deja que los perros en la casa va a matar a los huevos, incluso después de los perros ya no tiene sarna y la re-infección es por lo tanto casi imposible. Sin embargo, el bórax tiene un efecto limitado en matar a los ácaros más grandes y las pulgas, sarna, pero no.
He descubierto que la adición de 1 / 8 cucharadita por litro de agua de bórax añadido al agua del perro hará que las pulgas más grande a secarse y morir al mismo tiempo. Mi perro por alguna razón le gusta comer algo así como más de 1 g de cristales de perborato de sodio cada vez que se siente mal y las pulgas los justos mueren. El bórax modifica la sangre del perro y mata a la sarna del revés. Esta es la razón por bórax, es decir, perborato de sodio, se requiere para la sarna, pero no cualquier otra cosa, debido a la re-infección de prevención de la sarna por el polvo de las bórax que destruye los huevos donde el perro duerme y donde se pasea por toda la casa .
VASELINA: El problema sobre el uso de vaselina como insecticida es que ha limitado la muerte de los huevos, pero su debilidad es que no es penetrante, y por lo tanto la frecuencia de las solicitudes se llevará al menos una vez cada dos días. Además, el pelo del perro se opongan a la aplicación adecuada.
Algunos han llegó al extremo de no utilizar una solución de bórax con peróxido de hidrógeno como un enjuague y luego siguió probable, tal vez un polvo bórax después del baño. En cuanto al argumento de ser eficaces sólo como un tratamiento localizado. Dado que los perros no tienen glándulas sudoríparas, no usar un enjuague evitará que el bórax se absorba en la piel para eliminar la sarna en virtud de su piel. Así que esto no va a funcionar. Se necesitan las dos bórax como un insecticida, el agua como la solución que en su difusión a la superficie de la piel, y un penetrante fiable para conseguirlo a través de la piel, tales como el vinagre, MSM, DMSO, o incluso el peróxido de hidrógeno. Un peróxido de benzoilo es a la vez una penetrante e insecticida, pero en mayor concentración es algo tóxico para los perros y como resultado está bastante limitada por la concentración máxima que no exceda más allá de ser un 5% de seguridad que prefiera. Prefiero limitarme a un 3%.
En consecuencia, propongo, no para que te pierde en el bosque, es que cualquier formulación que utilice, siempre se mantienen con el borax y derivados bórax, como perborato de sodio monohidrato son los productos químicos insecticidas principales para el perro.
El piretro es dar el visto bueno a pero en concentraciones muy bajas de alrededor del 0,1% - 0,2% para evitar irritación de la piel de los perros cerca de las zonas infección de la piel. La mezcla de segundo que necesita es siempre la penetrante y el tercero es la formulación de diluciones adecuadas en el agua. Para proporcionar un efecto duradero matar, no de estos productos químicos en general, deben ser mezclas insecticidas no volátil, que por desgracia son los más recomendados, con excepción tal vez de bórax y bentonita. Bentonita causas huevos a secas, por lo que se puede utilizar también, pero no tienen mezcla de insecticidas como el bórax y el bórax puede lleva a cabo tanto matar a los insectos, la modificación de las hormonas para evitar la puesta de huevos, se convierte en un veneno para el estómago del insecto, y al mismo tiempo el tiempo hace que sus huevos a secarse.
Por lo tanto, seguirá siendo muy flexible en cuanto a lo que se utiliza penetrantes incluyendo peróxido de hidrógeno, peróxido de benzoilo (concentración limitada), y el vinagre. Cabe señalar que al formular cualquier sarna es preciso señalar que no deben ser volátiles y los productos químicos debe causar residuos microscópicos alrededor de la casa para que la infección vuelva de la sarna se impide, incluidos los ácaros y pulgas.
Creo que esto envuelve la teoría básica y la aplicación de tratamiento de la sarna, y es de esperar que otras personas hacen un formulaciones más eficaces en el futuro por lo menos igual o mejor que la fórmula original que he propuesto. Sólo quiero decirles que hay muchas maneras que usted puede tratar la sarna, pero el tema es uno de toxicidad, la reinfección, los niveles de tóxicos, que parte de la mata y cómo, y que es el penetrante que es la clave de todo. Penetrante es importante, el producto químico debe llegar a la meta demodex debajo de la piel. Por lo general, el peróxido de hidrógeno, el vinagre, DMSO y MSM hacer eso. Hay que recordar una vez más que el bórax, un funcionamiento más efectivo, es preparar una solución sin lavar, seguidos por una pequeña cantidad de polvo de bórax que se aplicará si lo desea. Cualquier otra aplicación que no sea esta como el uso como forma pura en polvo no es ir a trabajar.

Dexter the Irish Russel got a whopping case of some sort of crud that was initially thought to be of no consequence. Then the heat and humidity of summer struck and Dex bloomed into a itchy, hairless mess. Tried Ted's mange formula when other treatments failed, and within a week he showed significant improvement. He is starting to 'pink up' where he lost his fur, and little wisps of hair are breaking out all over. I am very happy, but not nearly as happy as Dexter.

I took my chocolate lab to (2) different vets trying to figure out what was going on with his skin. They put him on cortisone pills, antibiotics, had me dip him in sulphur dips on five day intervals. Nothing seemed to help him. He would appear to somewhat get better, but nothing major noticeable. The smell never eased up. On my own, I tried vinegar baths and other things to try and ease up and/or cure his condition. Nothing ever helped. A year later and about $500.00 American dollars poorer; I was about to give up hope of helping him. Then, I stumbled onto your remedy using peroxide, borax, and water. I thought, why not give it a shot; I've spent out all sorts of $$ on every type of cure thinkable. If it helps him, I would be so much relieved for him. I went to the store that evening and bought a box of mule team borax, two bottle of peroxide (I anticipated more than one treatment, and I was right) and a sponge for application. The next afternoon, I cornered the poor fellow and sponged on a dose of the mixture. He wasn't impressed, but he is a little gun shy about washings and dips since he has been subjected to so much in and so many treatments already. I laid in on heavy this first treatment , and left it to dry up on him. He rolled around in the yard like any other treatment or bath and then went about his usual business. The next day, he seemed less flaky; and when I brushed him, the skin flakes seemed to just come right out with ease. Two days later, I made up another batch. A little less potent this time. I sponged him down again ( to his dismay, he hates personal hygiene issues now) I left this on to dry. The next day, he had some dried up flakes; but not near as many. Most of the yellowish scale was gone; and his odor was starting to improve (Not gone all the way though) Two days later, I again made up another batch and sponged it all over him. Left it to dry. The next day, he had hardly any new flakes, his odor is gone, hair is starting to re grow. I'm just totally amazed. I am going to make a spritz and lightly spritz him once a week when I brush him out and hopefully he will remain in remission for whatever this stuff was. Maybe it was the red mange. Whatever it was, your #2 cure has given him his life back. He had to be miserable. Thank you for sharing your remedy; I'm ecstatic. $3.90 for a box of borax, $1.00 for 2 bottles of peroxide, a couple cents worth of water equals approximately $5.00..................my dog's well being and peace of mind from the savages of his skin condition, priceless!

Hi Rosemary,
You can also buy borax or sodium tetraborate direct from this UK website(Intralabs). Just do a search for "Borax". See link below:

Not true. I did get mange from the dog. Ask someone who knows, not "the internet" way too much false info.

Hey Rose,
If your dog is clean, you don't need to shampoo.

I bathed her in a homemade gentle shampoo then towel dried her, then soaked her whole body in the borax solution... including her face. I then let her run around outside and dry naturally. Just over the course of the last week (with 4 treatments every other day) her face has gotten whelps all over it. She has lost most of the hair on her face. And now she's scratching like crazy. I ordered some iodine shampoo and some dinovite. Her energy is great. Her sister from the same litter is fine and both of them are the same in activity level.
So when you say to leave it on for 30 mins.... do I resoak her several times? Is it normal for it to get worse? I read that it could be due to the dead mites decaying under the skins surface causing an infection. Should I just stay the course?
Thx

Hey Nikki,
You want the area you are treating to be exposed to the wet, active solution for [ideally] 30 minutes. How you accomplish that is up to you. You could have a wash cloth sopping wet with the solution on her face, and re-wet it frequently while holding it on her face for the 30 minutes - that would be one way. I have a plastic tub and I just made up a huge batch of the solution and put my puppy in the tub so she was immersed up to her neck, and then used a sponge to drizzle the solution on her head. The solution does not irritate the eyes, so if it gets in the eyes it will not hurt. If you have treated every other day, you likely can space it out a bit as it sounds, from the reaction, that you have interrupted the mite life cycle. The decaying mites ITCH - the scratching allows infection to set in - so you might try treating the infected areas with the topical antibiotic or colloidal silver. Lavender essential oil, a few drops mixed into coconut oil or calendula cream may be soothing in addition to the antibiotic cream. If her energy level is normal that is good news; a lethargic puppy means infection is going deeper which might mean a vet visit. Feeding good groceries is essential, and boosting her immune system with vitamin C is a good idea as well. It may be difficult to distract her from the itchy face, but try with things like a good chew or natural bone. I get beef neck bones at the supermarket and bake them at 350 for half an hour or so, so the meat is roasted on the outside but the bone is not cooked on the inside - and that will keep a puppy busy for a few hours.

I used the Borax and Peroxide, but it still didn't completely get rid of it. So I added some melted down Coconut Oil. Put my dog in her throughly scrubbed / clean kennel until she was completely dry. Although I kept her in an area away from my sofa's, etc for a few days because her coat was still oily. It worked like a charm. She's not miserable anymore.

I have sort of used this method twice....
H2O2 is easy to get hold of, from the chemists in the UK, but the Borax less so...
First time, the male border collie had mange type hair loss and scabbing to the side of his rear leg, the large muscle area. I didn't bath him and couldn't track down any Borax, just the substitute, so I just diluted H2O2 and put that in a spray bottle. I wasn't expecting much without the Borax, but provided near immediate and it cleared up within a week. I kept on just spraying daily for 10 days.
For the past two weeks, his younger sister has been chewing at her front legs, hair loss and beginning to bleed and scab, gradually getting worse for her. This time I managed to get hold of some 20 Mule Team Borax, it arrived 1 days ago, so I made it up roughly as described - except I put in in a spray bottle. I gave her a good bath, let her shake and drip, then sprayed her thoroughly and left her somewhere warm to dry. I have sprayed her daily since, but concentrating mainly on the two affected front legs. The crisis seems to be almost over, scabs going and hair returning. It has though left her hair generally looking very dry, so I may need to address that, once the treatment stops.
Don't use the sulfur-lime with the borax. They both are applied similarly. The sulfur needs to be left on the coat to penetrate the same way the borax solution does. There may also be a problem with chemical reactions among the chemicals. You will find the borax solution to be much more pleasant to use than the sulfurated lime, which has a very pungent sulfur odor that is not easily removed by washing.

One day after the first washing and treatment with Ted's remedies, our dog is already seeing some relief.
Because of the mites, do we need to do something to our carpeting or our dogs beds which have a removable cover?
Thank you so much!

Hi, we think our dog might have sarcoptic mange, we have used the borax remedy and it seemed to keep them at bay but her coat was starting to get really brittle so I stopped that treatment to give my poor baby a rest and started using neem oil shampoo which didn't work.
At the moment I'm using a mix of rapeseed oil and diatomaceous earth on her but she has all of a sudden got supper a canny on the parts where she still has hair, could it be the other mange she has? Any help would be appreciated.
P.s I've also tried using vegetable oil on her too, didn't work
