Anyone have a natural cure for mange on dogs?

Answers:
Thank you for trying to help these dogs. I have several suggestions for you to try. Okay man, it's a long shot... and may be more expensive than the vet... but I have a couple suggestions for you and just do what you can.
First of all, mange is caused by a weakened immune system in dogs. So, instead of treating the mange... you could try to strengthen their immune system. The following herbs are to boost her immune system and fight bacterial infections. Wherever possible purchase organic herbs that are "Standardized."

路 Olive Leaf Extract: Follow directions on bottle.
路 Astragulus: Follow directions on bottle.
路 Cat's Claw: Follow directions on bottle.
路 Kyolic garlic: Follow directions on bottle.
路 Pau d'Arco: 4 capsules twice daily.
路 Grapefruit Seed Extract Capsules or tablets: 225mg daily.
路 Flax seed oil (organic) gel caps: one twice daily.
路 Plant based digestive enzymes available at health food stores. Give two
capsules per meal.

Add a few tablespoons of plain yogurt to each meal or give acidophilus supplements. It is very important to maintain good intestinal bacteria when fighting parasites.
Now, for topical treatments. I only know of two suggestions:

Topical treatment #1

Mix a combination of one part lavender oil, one part Neem oil, to 9 parts almond oil. Apply to
sores and infected areas once or twice daily.

Topical treatment #2

Mix ten drops of yellow dock extract with ten drops of Echinacea extract, dilute with four ounces of distilled water and apply. Yellow dock is effective as an itch treatment. Other herbs that help with itching are calendula and aloe vera.

Do not give the dog any drugs, human food (other than what's listed) chemicals, or dips. They are in stress right now. Find them a cool, dry, stress free place to relax.
Also, if you feed them good dog food this will only help the situation

If you really need something cheap and fast --try borax (the 20 mule team stuff you can get in the laundry isle at walmart) Make a 1% hydrogen peroxide solution with a little bit of water and borax (make sure you add the borax until it stops disolving) Don't do this one more than once a week, and do not rinse with water. Leave this on the dogs to prevent re infestation.
Also, you should sprinkle borax over your house and leave it for awhile before vacuuming it up. This will help kill any of the parasites that get in your carpet.
I hear PineSol works also, (dogs and house) but because it evaporates much quicker, repetition is needed.

Remember: don't stop treatment when you see improvement. there are eggs all over those dogs and anywhere in your house/yard they have been. keep it up.

GOOD LUCK!!

there are no natural cures.

Stop being CHEAP, and take your suffering dog to a VET before the mange kills it.

then give it to someone who is willing to look after it properly!

Alas, hon, there are lots of types of manges, and none of them is curable without modern meds. Take the dog to a vet.

I'm not sure abt cure for mange but have found ACV (apple cider vinegar) to be very effective in clearing up skin rashes for my dogs. Its also good for humans as well.
Soak cotton pads in ACV and dab it on the mange areas. Or perhaps bath the dog in diluted ACV. Also its good to add flaxseed oil into your dog's diet for good skin and coat.

There are no remedies other than what the vet will prescribe. Mange is EXTREMELY painful and needs to be treated asap. If you cannot afford it, call the ASPCA and they can usually refer you to a not-for-profit vet that will give you a discount.

There is no natural cure for mange. If you can't afford to take care of these dogs, pehaps a shelter.
