Ted's Dog Mange Treatment in Spanish
I would like you to include this recipe in spanish. If you cannot do it, I can do it for you. This would be very helpful for south americans where the mange is one of the main reasons for people to abandon dogs in the streets.
Hope to be able to colaborate with my translation in order to spread the experiences. I just started to do 4 treatments last week with this remedy in 4 abandoned puppies. Hope to have success and send you the feed back later.
Sincerely,
Monica
EC: Hi Monica,
That is a fantastic idea, thank you for suggesting it. The best we can do at the moment is to use Google's English to Spanish Translator. If you see anything that needs to be corrected, please let us know...

No confunda el bórax con el ácido bórico.
No use ácido bórico en lugar de bórax.
Tratamiento de Ted desde Bangkok, Tailandia
Ted escribe:
"El mejor remedio para la sarna en perros es una mezcla de solución de peróxido de hidrógeno al 1% con bórax disuelto completamente. Lave al perro con esta mezcla una vez a la semana. No enjuague la solución del perro con agua ni lo seque después del baño. La solución debe permanecer sobre su piel para que haga efecto en la sarna. El tratamiento no debería durar más de uno o dos meses. Como es indoloro, el perro no lo resistirá. Este método ha funcionado muy bien para mí."
Medidas Exactas del Tratamiento
Ted explica:
*"La receta precisa consiste en añadir 1-2 cucharadas de bórax por cada 500 ml de solución de peróxido de hidrógeno al 1%. Para preparar una solución al 1%, diluya una parte de peróxido de hidrógeno al 3% con dos partes de agua. Luego, aplique esta mezcla sobre el perro.
El perro debe ser bañado con esta solución regularmente hasta que desaparezca la sarna. Si el problema persiste, puede haber una infestación oculta de ácaros en el ambiente. En este caso, es recomendable poner al perro en cuarentena en un área completamente desinfectada."*
Fórmula estándar:
- 500 ml de peróxido de hidrógeno al 3%
- 1000 ml de agua
- 3 cucharadas colmadas de bórax
"Revuelva hasta que el bórax se disuelva lo máximo posible. Como la mezcla estará cerca del punto de saturación, es normal que queden residuos de bórax sin disolver."
Modo de Aplicación
-
Preparación:
- Disuelva el bórax en la solución de peróxido de hidrógeno y agua.
- Asegúrese de que la mezcla esté bien disuelta antes de aplicarla.
-
Aplicación en el perro:
- Remoje completamente al perro en la solución varias veces.
- No enjuague ni seque al perro después del tratamiento.
- La solución debe permanecer en su piel para matar los ácaros y los huevos.
-
Desinfección del hogar:
- Use la solución para limpiar los pisos y las áreas donde el perro pasa tiempo.
- Esto evitará la reinfección.
-
Frecuencia:
- Repita el tratamiento semanalmente hasta que la sarna desaparezca por completo.
Opciones Alternativas
Ted menciona que otras sustancias pueden ser efectivas, pero no tan potentes como el bórax con peróxido de hidrógeno. Algunas alternativas incluyen:
- Perborato de sodio: Similar al bórax pero más conveniente porque no requiere peróxido de hidrógeno.
- Vinagre de sidra de manzana: Puede ser un sustituto del peróxido de hidrógeno, ya que también ayuda a la penetración de la solución en la piel.
- Aceite de neem: Funciona inhibiendo la reproducción de los ácaros, pero no los mata con la misma eficacia que el bórax.
- Aceites minerales y vaselina: Crean una barrera que impide la respiración de los ácaros, pero no eliminan los huevos eficazmente.
Actualización de Ted (07/12/2006)
Después de varias pruebas y de recibir comentarios de otras personas, Ted concluyó:
- El peróxido de hidrógeno con bórax sigue siendo la mejor opción.
- El peróxido de benzoilo (5% o menos) puede ser una alternativa, pero es más tóxico que el peróxido de hidrógeno.
- El ácido bórico no debe usarse, ya que es más tóxico que el bórax.
- El tratamiento debe aplicarse de manera continua y el ambiente del perro debe ser desinfectado regularmente para evitar la reinfección.
"El bórax no solo elimina la sarna, sino que también impide la reinfección al matar los huevos en el hogar. Esta es una de las razones por las que funciona mejor que otros tratamientos."
Conclusión
- El peróxido de hidrógeno actúa como penetrante, permitiendo que el bórax llegue a los ácaros bajo la piel.
- La clave del éxito es la aplicación constante sin enjuagar la solución del perro.
- Para un tratamiento completo, también es esencial desinfectar el entorno del perro.
- Los remedios alternativos pueden ayudar, pero el bórax sigue siendo la opción más efectiva para eliminar la sarna y prevenir su regreso.
"Este tratamiento ha sido probado muchas veces y sigue siendo el más efectivo que he encontrado. Espero que con el tiempo se desarrollen fórmulas aún mejores, pero por ahora, esta es la mejor opción disponible." - Ted
Ted's Mange Treatment Tips
1) If your dog has mites then you can be sure that they are present in the whole of the area that your dog uses and that in a lot of cases the humans have them too. You can test if you have mites (scabies) if you itch after having a bath or at night when you go to bed.
2) You have to treat the whole of the above at the same time or you will have a cycle of reinfestation from your pet to the house to you to your pet. So choose an action day and get everything ready for your war on mites.
3) In the case of your house, all beds, sofas, carpets, cusions etc that are too big to be washed including rugs and carpets should be treat with the borax solution or lime sulphur and covered in strong plastic sheeting using duct tape. I know its a lot of bother but its cheaper than throwing them outside and burning them.
4)Having taken the pets outside, Make up the solution of Borax using the following equivalents (one cup hydrogen peroxide and two cups water first and then the 9 teaspoons or 3 tablespoons of borax put in last. let the borax dissolved) This translates for bulk production as:- The borax mange treatment is made by filling a five-gallon bucket with warm water and then adding a 200 milliliter bottle of three percent hydrogen peroxide. Finally add borax laundry booster until full saturation is achieved. This means when borax is added to the water, rather than dissolving, it sinks to the bottom of the bucket.
5) Hoover and damp dust everything using the above solution that has been recomended. Then seal all the relavant soft covered furniture (sofas), soft furnishings, beds and matresses and finally cover carpets with foundation plastic using duct tape to seal the edges.
6) Wash out a kitchen detergent bottle that has a squirty spray handle on it and fill it with the borax solution. In the yard, spray the whole of the underside of the dog or other animal, you may have to refil the bottle several times for large animals. when you have reached saturation point on the underside change the spray bottle over to the large sponge and use this to pour the solution on the animals back from neck to tail. Finally we come to the head and the moste sensitive area around the eyes. First put a drop mineral oil in the eyes, then use cottonwool balls dipped in the solution and go over the face very gently and very carefully around the eyes. Pay particular attention to the ears, the muzel and under the chin making sure that they are saturated down to the skin.
7) Lovely now the house is sorted and the animals are treated there is just the humans to attend to. Though dog mites including mange (dog scabies) cannot live and reproduce on humans for more than a few days they can live long enough to reinfest the animal when you groom or stroke it. So, I am afraid its the full body treatment for the whole of the family. You can uese any of the following, Derbac M, Quellada M, Lyclear Dermal or a 30 gram tube of 5% permethrin cream. Make sure that you cover every bit of skin area and under the feet and rub it into your finger and toe nails too. The human treatment should be done at weekly intervals. Do not use the same incetacide more than three times in three weeks. Of couse if you dont mind a tinted skin, you can easily use the borax treatment on yourself.
8) The borax treatment on the animal should be done every three to four days until the mites are completely cleared and then for ten days after the last signs are gone.
9) During the treatment period, all members of the family should handle the animals only when wearing rubber gloves. Animals should be trained not to go on any furniture during this time. Children should be discouraged from wrestling or cuddling the animal until it is given the all clear.
10) If you find that after this you or your animal is still showing signs of infection then you must enquire with your family to asertain who is not following the rules.
11) When your animal has been clear for ten days you can take the plastic off of your funiture and give them a good hoover. (Don't forget to wash the hoover and its pipes with borax before using it.)

Hey Nicole!
If you are dealing with demodectic mange then you don't need to worry about the environment as far as contamination.
If you are dealing with sarcoptic mange then those mites can live off the host in the environment long enough to infect another host. If you are dealing with sarcoptic mange I would sterilize the environment in conjunction with the dipping protocol for Ted's mange remedy - and also use diatomaceous earth to ensure no mites survive off the host in the environment.

My GSD has what I think is mange. I cannot afford vet for treatment. I've used Ted's remedy just now, and praying for Bruzor's skin to heal. I have a pool in my backyard, surrounded by grass. How do I treat the pool and yard for these mange mites? He swims in the pool everyday. Could this be causing the mange? Please let me know asap. I love my pup and I need advice!

Hey Aj!
When I see posts about mange from Florida my first thought is FLEAS and not mange; have you ruled fleas out?
The kind of mange your dog could catch from around the pool would be sarcoptic mange; these might hide out in bunny or squirrel poop or the live critters; do you see vermin in your yard, and has Bruzor caught any vermin? If no, then you might consider fleas, or a skin infection caused by a damp coat that doesn't get fully dried after a swim.
Ted's mange remedy will help in either case but if it is fleas you will need to treat your yard - consider a cedar granule type product in that case.

My beautiful little terrier has just been diagnosed (skin scrape and biopsy) with demodetic mange. I don't want to subject him to the harsh toxins in mitiban or the invermectin so will be starting the Borax HP treatment. Thank you TED for posting it. Have also read that flowers of sulphur works well and wondering if I can combine the two? Borax/HP bath every 4 days and flowers of sulphur mixed with talc or neem/coconut oil every day. What do you think?

And one more question! Borax is. It in sale in Uk, just Borax substitute. I have ordered some Borax online - not Mule Team as they don't sell it here. It is 99.9% pure Borax. Will this be OK?

My poor 8 week old lab puppy is bombarded with what I believe is some type of mange. Itchy ALL over. Scabs and sores on elbows, head and belly as well as being very red. Hair loss as well. Her itching is driving us both crazy. Literally.
I got online to do some research and found Ted's cure. I have used it as well as Selsun Blue to wash her prior to treatment.
I do have to say this. I am on the fence as to whether the cure is going to work yet but the Selsun Blue is amazing. It took all the crusty crap and stuff off with first use. But when I applied the borax solution I could tell it must have stung because she was whimpering a lot. so I guess we will see if it works or not.
I did forget to add that Nyla has been to the vet and the vet it unsure of what it is. Skin scrapings didn't reveal the issue. I refused the harsh meds.

Hello Mary,
My gut feeling is that you are not dealing with mange. If your pup's skin was responsive to the Selsun Blue, then you may well be dealing with a fungal infection on the skin.
If this were my puppy I would:
Feed only top notch groceries; NO brands of kibble that contain grains and corn.
Give a bath daily or every other day in the Selsun Blue until the skin is healed up or well on its way to healing. THEN I would switch to Ted's Mange remedy for 1 dip per directions, and see if that makes a difference at all.
Additionally adding 1 capsule Evening Primrose oil to the food am and pm may help with the skin.
I would also check with your breeder - are the litter mates of this puppy similarly affected? Share your knowledge - it could be another puppy in the litter has the same issue and it could be that owner has a remedy that is more effective, or has a definitive diagnosis for mange.
Please report back!

Hey Susan,
I think the best deterrent to fleas and ticks in the yard is a short cut lawn. Ticks stay to grassy areas, so a three foot border of sand or gravel between pet areas and woods is also a deterrent. The cedar granules product name can vary - research and see what ingredients agree with you. I honestly think the three foot gravel barrier combined with a citrus vinegar spray is the most effective. Make the citrus spray by putting all your citrus rinds in a gallon jug and fill with white vinegar and let steep for a few weeks/month, and then strain into a Hudson type sprayer and spray the gravel area. I don't use any 'products' on my fur kids, but I do bathe them and check them often for parasites. If you find fleas, give them a bath; if you find ticks dab with tea tree oil on a q-tip swab and wait no more than 10 minutes; then use a human comb to gently comb out the dead tick.

I started Ted's mange treatment today and washed all of her bedding and toys with hot water. But what would you recommend for cleaning a carpeted floor? Thanks!
Where to Buy: UK
I assume this wouldn't work for Ted's mange cure and I should try to import some?
Thanks.
Rosemary,
It looks like Borax may be available on eBay, UK :

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:
