hi, b4 i start, have u brought ur furbaby to the vet? maybe can get better opinion. but anyway here's the recipe that i got fr one of the forum members becos my jerrie was diagnosed with mange and his skin was itching a lot back then.
For the demodectic mange I would suggest using a lemon tonic that you can make at home. 1 lemon whole lemon sliced thinly 1 pint water bring water to near boil add lemons, let steep overnight. Sponge on once a day. The above recipe comes from the book by Dr. Pitcairn (I can never remember the title) Below is how to prepare the treatment for the skin wash. This "recipe" by Pitcairn has worked for me in order to treat very different kinds of skin problems. Since there are a few out ther, thought I might send it along (from Pitcairn&Pitcairn "Natural health for Dogs&Cats"): - Slow boil in a liter of water 4 lemon skins (I squeeze the juice for lemonade) for about 20 min. - Let it cool down for about 1 hour - Put it in a closed container and leave it a couple of days (for the natural oils to "dissolve"... I think that there is some kind of rotting going on as well, which helps quite a bit) - Strain it into a squieting bottle - Squirt freely over damaged skin (sounds crazy, but actually soothes quite a bit and the D-limonene helps in skin recovery) You start seeing results in about 6 days in my experience. I added my personal touch: 4 teabags of chamomille in the boiling water. i usually use the first one. hehe simpler. as for food, i think lam n rice shud be the way to go. n most experienced members here will suggest BARF. maybe u can try that too. maybe Surchinmy or others may be able to give more opinion Cheers! jaclyn n jerrie
