Cat Mange Natural Treatment

finally i decided to stop the treatments for awhile and left the same borax and peroxide on her temp. a couple weeks later she seemed to be ok so i went back to the same treatments the mange appeared all gone, i kept the house clean, washed floors with ammonia and/or disinfectant, things seemed to be ok, i just checked my small dog and he has sores all over his tail(?)it's raw from him biting his tail; thats the same way my kitten had her mange was on her tail.

my kitten has more sores or some sort of scars i thought might be mange again, but again i have a cat that beats on my kitten, my kitten will not let me check her tummy to see what it is, should i start more treatments on my cat again as well as my small dog?

gee this is a nightmare even though the treatments are great, i hate seeing animals suffer. i recently saw small black hard shelled bugs running around, when i thought i got rid of them i found them to have moved into the laundry room then into my husbands room; please tell me these are not mange/ mites? i can't seem to kill them. also i was wondering if these bugs may have come in from the hay i have on my front patio? they do come in on my socks i assume.

i'm terribly sorry for such a long message but it's scary and itchy here with all of us. i think i should move out as i'm being invaded by these mites.

thank you so much for your help. god bless

It took me over three months of doing the kittens mange treatments then the whole house, too my surprise the dogs did not get the mange but they were infested with huge ticks pregnant mother and all, I had a struggle with that fat tick that just did not want to leave my dogs body, my husband was pulling ticks out of the dogs ears, every where and any where they could hide from my treatments, my female dog wasn't bad at all she had very short hair and one treatment did the job well. So just when I thought all was well and settled in resting...... My kitten that had been treated for mange was a great escapee(chuckles)

many times I have brought her back in or coaxed her back in, this morn. She got out again its now 6pm eve. And no sign of her yet, so I put an add in the newspaper if any one can catch her to bring her home to me. That was some kitten;I never saw a kitten with a personallity like her's, I would give her commands that my dogs were supposed to abide by and she would obey. I put in the newspaper she is presently being treated for upper respiratory infection. Prayers for her safe keeping and safe return home.Thanks

I started her treatments of borax and peroxide all over accept near her eyes, I had to leave it on over night because she hid on me where I couldn't find her or reach her, the next morning she came out to eat so I got her first thing and bathed her clean then a good rinse, she then started eating in great amounts. That was way too much of an ordeal for her so I needed to give her a few days rest even though I really wanted to get this done as quickly as possible, three days later she started trusting me again so I put another solution of peroxide/borax on her and left it to do it's work once again, I felt she knew it was doing her some good. And as for her constantly throwing up, I added some ACV to her cat food for only a few days and she was doing great, no more throwing up at all, even though it was mostly hair-balls the ACV did the trick 100% then I bought fish oil caps. And added it to her food every day for the oil to help with a shiny coat plus move the hair balls out when she moved her bowels.

Again I went back to the treatment of her mange again rinsed out the solution of borax and peroxide. I did this for three months where I was getting worried as warm weather was coming and the baby mites were developing quickly and my poor kitty was getting terribly upset, so I went to the drug store in hopes of getting quell for humans body lice it had to be bought by prescription only, so I sat in the drug store and read all the ingredients until I found what was good for humans head lice, one of the ingredients was permethrin:leave it on only five minutes, for a dog I'm not sure but it did great for my kitten and I finally am free of the mange bot of the treatments of peroxide & borax plus the head lice solution did the complete job.

Now she is so fat she can no longer jump up onto the table unless she falls back down. Then we have a self disposed cat litter box she sits on the motor, I guess she likes the motion/the noise or what, but she is the natural & normal baby kitty she should be, she loves chasing my small dogs around and making an older cat mind his manners when he growls at every one, the kitten demands Law & Order (chuckles).....

Thanks to Ted and everyone else that has made this website possible for people like me to treat my loving pets as well as other people's pets.

I hope to come back with yet more good news on the progress of my sweet little kitty" Muffin" I wish I had of taken a pic. before and after, she is now beautiful, fat and brassy, she is the youngest//smallest and yet she is in charge of all other pets here including the dogs lol

God bless every one.

I was getting so worn out from the process, and trying to keep every single room in the house clean and free of these mites as I saw them flying around looking for new hosts. I washed, scrubbed, and threw whatever needed air outside on the patio for the cold air to rid these mites if any attatched to clothing, bedding etc. Then I too would take an ACV bath, even or amonia is good, 1/2 cup full in bath water and same for washing clothes.

Today April 22, 2011 I have just given my kitten her fourth bath this eve. During the first part of the week I used neem oil where it raised these mites above the skin, I let it set for a day or two, then I filled the big sink with warm water, I already had borax mixed with peroxide I put that on her and rubbed it in as good as I could, waited a few min. Then rinse, then put dawn dish liquid on her and washed her real good feeling & making sure there were no more raised bumps(mites)then for last results I rinsed her with warm water & ACV......... Thankfully I didn't see or feel any more mites anywhere on her, all I can do now is pray & keep my fingers crossed. I know she is rather upset with this process but there is no way of explaining it to her until she is totally free of these mites and is able to be a kitten for the first time in her little life.

Last night for the first time in months she escaped from the house outside, I watched her chasing leaves flying around the yard, it was worth a thousand words to watch her playing for the first time ever. She has gained weight big time, she was eating six to seven times a day because of the loss of her nutrients, I was and still am giving her Paul Newman's chicken & rice//rice is good for anyone as it absorbs any impurities in the body. We are all here for a purpose in life; I do believe we are here to protect mother earth and our pets as well as all animals. I will be back on more of her progress. Thanks for everyone's help here God bless

I have been treating my kitten for the past few weeks, with very little results only because she dosen't let me finish the process so then I have to wait until she calms down some, then when she comes to me when I call her then I'm ready as well as she is. I have started by putting neem oil & vitamin oil on these mites just to start any process I could until I found this site. Even though I wasn't about to wash off the oil's and put her through too many ordeals at one time, I had to cut corners as best as I could and try being consistant, my kitten is a fighter in many ways, one she fights to live and two fights me because she thinks I am trying to do her harm/and the water bit? I'm trying to drown her(NOT)lol This is what I did, it had to be a one time deal until a few more weeks when she re-builds her confidence in me again. So I put a shower chair in my bath tub, I set up all the things I needed to give her a bath, I had already put the borax & peroxide on the night before, so the items in my bath tub;I put ACV, dawn dish liquid a very large bowl filled with ACV and warm water, I wore thin pants and a shirt in the shower, I sat in the shower chair with a heavy bath mat on my lap for claw protection then I had the kitten passed into me;as I applied the water an ACV I also applied the dish liquid and washed her good all over then rinsed her with fresh ACV and warm water and now she appears to be a nice fresh clean kitty;I hope :o) I'm quite sure there will be more treatments along the way as she was covered from head to toe. They were some huge dudes and dudettes chuckles. Right now she is cleaning herself with the most of her worries taken care of. She thinks she is hiding on me because she can't see me, but I can see her. And to think this kitten wouldn't have had a chance other wise. IT's us; you, me and thee that make a huge difference in these little babies lives. I hope this site goes on for many, many years on. good luck & god bless.

I had some what expected and/or hoped for a quick remedy never knowing what these mites are or how they were eliminated. I read where it's worse for the animal if they get too stressed out so I try to let her rest a few days but by then she runs from me. I really hate putting her through this again. How can I tell if she has anymore? And does these red dots mean they are still there? Thanks every one.
