DOGS WITH ALLERGIES - How I discovered Home Remedies and Natural Remedies for Dogs
Natural Remedies for Dogs (and Cats too)
After adopting my 1st puppy, “Buttons” a Schnauzer mix from the animal shelter, I discovered that she was a dog with allergies. As a puppy, Buttons would itch and scratch constantly. After trying lots of medications including steroids and antibiotics (which compromised her immune system), I finally tried natural remedies for dogs and had great success. This is our journey...
I adopted my first precious furry baby, "Buttons" a Schnauzer mix breed from North Shore Animal League. Even as a puppy Buttons would itch and scratch terribly from seasonal allergies and hot spots. I did the usual, brought oatmeal soap and conditioners and took her to Vet after Vet who gave her steroids, antihistamines, antibiotics, ointments and salves. She seemed to have seasonal allergies and was particularly miserable in the Spring and Summer months with some relief in the Fall and Winter. But as her allergies worsened it seemed that she was suffering year-round.
Even with all the medications she was taking, she was still suffering and at times was literally covered from head to toe in crusty hot spots. I have to admit when it got really bad and I thought I had no other choice, I considered putting her down; I felt she was just suffering too much. I would watch her scratch, lick and bite herself constantly until her skin was red and raw. Buttons seemed like she was in agony and I felt absolutely helpless and guilty. Guilty because I felt I wasn't doing all I could do to help get her relief.

Borax with Hydrogen Peroxide for Mange A guide for treating a
Posted on 7 April 2012 | 6:59 am
I was quite hesitant to use this treatment for my dog, it just appeared to be some quack’s idea of treating mange without spending any $$$. How wrong could I have been, this mixture appears to do the most damage to colonies of mites trying to replicate.
The Borax I Used
I turned to this natural remedy when Ivermectin, Advantage Mutli/Advocate, Nustock & the PetsBestRx products failed to work. I never had trusted natural remedies before due to my experience with them being less effective for many ailments in my past.
- Apparently this remedy works by mixing the two products the peroxide 1% solution is used as a vehicle to penetrate the skin (The Hydrogen Peroxide usually sold in stores is 3% so it should be diluted with 2 equal parts water.) The borax is used as the mite killer traveling to the areas in the epidermis where these mites harbor themselves. The mixture is a 1% solution of hydrogen peroxide with enough borax in it so that it is fully saturated (no longer absorbs the borax usually ( 1 cup borax 48 oz 1% hydrogen peroxide mixed for 10 min).
- You are instructed to wash your dog as regular and then while the dog is wet and clean, the solution you put into a bucket is lathered all over the body (mange doesnt always show where it is living.) The dog is then allowed to air dry with the solution never rinsed or toweled off the body. This results in a chalky like feel to the coat with some temporary discoloration. After I applied this solution for the first time it appeared to really disturb the mange, Baron had bumps with soft scabs all over his body. The solution appeared to do more work than anything else I had applied. I recommend to do this 2-4 times to see results. Make sure you have some type of soothing lotion to put on the skin due to the extreme drying nature of this remedy.
The Borax and Hydrogen Peroxide didnt cure my dog yet he has improved on this treatment much more than any synthetic or expensive treatments. I almost forgot: This is a great remedy to try due to how cheap it is to try. About $2.00 to try it!
Since I explained how to use this remedy quite poorly I have enclosed a link to a site that specifically explains how to make and use this treatment as well as providing variations on the remedy and other natural treatments for Sarcoptic and Demodex Mange as well.
