I decided if women can use iodine douche for yeast infections, then I'd try a tiny bit on my sweet girl. I put Povidone-Iodine Solution, 10% (Equate brand from Walmart) into a spray bottle and lightly squirted each sore, allowed the place to dry and applied Monistat Vaginal Cream. She was immediately relieved and for the first time in a year, did not whimper and scratch all night. I applied this treatment morning and night, after a week there was noticable improvement to the affected places.
I changed from Monistat cream to Coconut Oil. The results were even quicker. After another week of the 2x day treatment (using Coconut Oil) she was so improved we only did the treatments in the evening. The sores were healed over in about two months and completely gone in 3 months. I continued to apply Coconut Oil to the spots where the hair was trying to grow back in for another month.
When I told the vet what I had done he said what he prescribed was more potent than the "mess" I was using. All I can say is that for over a year now she has not had any signs of sores, and the "mess" I used worked whereas all the prescriptions the vets used did nothing but make her lose bladder control. My sweet girl is back to being herself, happy and healthy.

What you'll need:
1 very clean spray bottle
paper towels
distilled water
black walnut hull powder
activated charcoal powder
And here's the magical part - get some disposable male dog belly wraps. (coolest thing since sliced bread!! )
You're going to alternate between the walnut hull powder and the charcoal powder.
Starting with the charcoal powder, cut a small hole in the outer gauze layer of a wrap at one end and add about a teaspoon of charcoal powder and tape it shut with a waterproof bandaid. take it outside, hold it out flat with the gauze side down and shake it a bit to distribute the charcoal the length of the pad. turn it over and spray some water on it to wet and hold the charcoal in place. Not dripping but just dampened the whole length. Wrap it around his belly, right in the middle, and fasten. Leave on overnight of all day, whichever works best.
The next day, cut open one end of of the gauze side of a new band and take OUT the stuffing out.
Fold a paper towel to size, mist well with the water and dust it with black walnut powder, put THAT inside in place of the absorbent stuffing, mist it again through the gauze and wrap THAT around his belly for a day - you want to check it a few times and if it's dry, mist it with water. If the black walnut powder is gone at any point you check it, make up another paper towel the same way, insert and put it back on. If it's just dry, then mist it again through the gauze and put it back on.
Alternate days for a week. So, that would be charcoal on Saturday, black walnut on Sunday, charcoal on Monday and so on, ending with charcoal on Friday.
Assuming it's not some sort of toxin in his food or the surrounding environment - like in an imported dog bed made of toxic material - or he's not rolling around in some sort of toxin everyday, you should see improvement. Possibly even after the first round with the black walnut powder. But keep it going for the whole week.
If the issue comes back, repeat the process with a 2 rounds of charcoal to 1 round of black walnut sequence but do it for 2 weeks instead of one
Personally, I would reserve belly rubs for after a charcoal application and before the black walnut application.
In my opinion, the body is throwing off whatever it is through the skin because the liver is overloaded so, if the skin issues don't start clearing up in the first couple of rounds, try doing 2 days of charcoal to 1 day of black walnut until it does and look for possible toxins he might be getting into.
While you're doing this, keep in mind that when you eliminate toxins, they're gone. BUT, when you're eliminating microbes, once everything is cleared up there could still be a small population that will repopulate and you'll have to start over, but it won't take as long because, by then, you'll recognize what's happening and be able to treat it long before it gets as bad as it is now. Either way, your dog will experience huge relief.

I heard from a leading Natural Dr..
His name is Dr.Lenard Coldwell, that the best result for any skin cancer is applying Hemp Oil.
He says even shingles will be removed..
Good luck Lisa

The pimple/pus/bald spots sound like a staph infection. Staph infections may warrant a vet visit for a prescribed antibiotic if you cannot get it under control.
This is Ted's Anti-Fungal and Staph solution:
Ingredients:
- 1 - 16 oz bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide
- 1 bottle Milk of Magnesia
- 1 box Epsom salts
- 1 box Borax
- Filtered or distilled water
Method:
Dilute the 16 oz brown bottle of 3% hydrogen peroxide to a 1% solution by dumping the bottle into a jug and adding 32 oz of filtered or distilled water; I just fill up the empty brown bottle with water and dump it in the jug twice. Now you have 48 ounces of a 1% solution of hydrogen peroxide.
Add 4 table spoons EACH:
Borax, Epsom salts, and Milk of Magnesia.
Shake the dickens out of the solution. I usually run a tub full of hot water and set the jug in the tub, and then when the tub cools where I can bathe my dog the solution is by then an agreeable temperature for the dog. Bathe the dog in doggy shampoo or what have you, get all the crusty lesions gently scrubbed up and loose skin and scabs off and rinse well. [Caution: if your dog's skin is in a reactive state, rubbing and scrubbing may raise more hives - so again, gently work the scabs and crusts off and watch the skin in the area to see if it calms or raises more bumbs the next day.] Now drain the tub and when empty plug it up again and now pour the jug of prepared solution over the dog. I use a plastic cup to scoop up the solution and keep pouring over the dog. I try to keep this up for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes I pull the plug and let the dog drip a bit in the tub, and then I take the wet dog with bare hands and put her in a crate with no bedding. Do not towel the dog off - you want as much of the solution to stay on the dog as possible, so it can 'work'. I allow the dog to drip dry in the crate with no bedding. It helps to have the house heat ON, and a nice tasty bone or high value chewy in the crate to distract the dog for a bit. After half an hour I let the dog out and towel dry as best I can and then let them work themselves dry by running all about the house. You do NOT rinse the solution off - you let it dry completely and that is it, until the next bath.
If you have a tiny dog, if you do not wish to make up such a large quantity of solution, the single batch is as follows:
- 1-1/2 cups of 1% hydrogen peroxide
- 1 tbsp MOM
- 1 tbsp Epsom salts
- 1 tbsp Borax
You may be able to put this into a spritzer bottle and spritz problem areas on your dog, but I find it best to tackle the entire dog with a full body treatment first, before using the spritz bottle for a spot treatment approach.
You may find with your dog that you will have to bathe him every other day, or every three days; find what works so that the skin is able to start healing.
And what diet are you feeding? Careful consideration should be made for the diet of your dog - no grocery store brands, no grain based diets, no diets with dyes and colors. Probiotcs are generally indicated with skin issues; consider DDS w/FOS for a full bottle and then switching to PB8 for another full bottle to start.

ACV was used in various recipes, coconut and neem soap, Zymox, and on and on.Lots of sprays too. Nothing seemed to last more than a day or two.He gets regular probiotics (several diff ones), fish oil, supplements, and low glycemic Preference along with meats like Raw Green tripe. Just recently started giving all dogs Sprouts also.
Veterycin sprays did give him more relief for a day( I think it might have killed some of the bacteria or fungus). Then a friend gave us a free bottle of Burts Bees Calming shampoo with Lavender and green tee. It appeared to help more than anything else up to then and when we rinsed the wash cloth could see black specks from the infection where coming off. Probably because Lavender seems to act as an astingent. This had to be repeated almost daily and then we started using a Lavender rinse afterward which also helped. He does well at night with Lavender and/or a calming spray recipe that includes Lavender and Valerian with a couple of other oils.
In my search for help I came to this site when I was looking for information on sulphur(the skin kind) and baking soda. Noticing that Borax and baking soda where mentioned in so many recipes, a light bulb went off and I read the ingredients of Johnsons Foot Soap. It has Borax, Baking Soda, and Iodide in it so I figured if it was good enough for us it should be okay. Only started it three days ago but so far seeing a vast improvement and he is acting more like his old self with a lot more good twitching sleep and energy and a whole lot less scratching and no more whining (saying help me). His hair is growing back and the black spots are becoming less with each treatment. Feet look much better and he is not licking them anymore. His skin is nice and soft and some areas have returned to a nice healthy pink without any black spots. The worst areas are his chin, around his privates and inside back legs. Knock on wood this is the answer for him.
We are soaking his feet after each treatment which is a twice a day sponge bath for now with the Johnsons and we have plans to do a bath with the BB shampoo or the coconut/neem bar soap at least twice a week as needed. Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated to improve this regime if possible. For now we have hope. Have copied Teds MOM recipe which will be the next step if needed. Thanks for this site and the great information it gives us.

I've been reading the threads and many have asked how to get them to eat it, try some Omega3 Fish oil capsuls over their food and mix in the vinegar. The smell of the fish oil (oooohhh it's bad, bad) can cover anything I think. Good luck!!

Just to add my 2 cents. My dog is a six year old Shih tzu cross, had him three years. Always had a patch on his lower back ("blackheads" in the pores and on the hair). Not obvious unless clipped short.
I would paint the area with chlorhexidine and forget about it until the next clipping. A few months back I noticed dried blood. The area has started to ulcerate and spread up his back. The area is itchy and he does not like you touching it.
Now I had to look more carefully, many possible reasons (and there can be primary and secondary causes):
1 Allergies
2 Fungal
3 Bacterial
4 Mites
5 Fleas and tics
As the affected area was on his back where soap is applied when bathed, I changed to a low allergenic shampoo and reduced the frequency of baths from 2 weekly to 6 weekly (he is not a smelly dog! ).
-> No change after three months, getting worse so we discounted an allergic reaction (although we did not try an antihistamine).
We then hit him with a round of antibiotics and chlorhexidine wash.
That cleaned up the skin infection but no improvement beyond that.
So when on holidays for a week and upon return and his next bath the condition had worsened. He starting to loss hair and the skin quite ulcerated and bleeding.
Okay, off to the vet (the vet is useless, her diagnosis was flea bite dermatosis but at least we got another round of antibiotics).
So we clipped the area so we an see it better and started the another round of antibiotics and chlorhexidine wash.
After two days the skin was looking better so we painted the area with borax and peroxide solution with a cotton swab.
After the treatment I examined the cotton swab and the remaining discoloured solution under a mag-light (my eyesight is not very good anymore) in a white plastic container. Although the mag-light is only x2 I could see a couple of the mites wiggling in the solution (tiny black carrots a fraction of a millimeter in length).
That night the skin looked better and some "blackheads" where now "whiteheads".
The next day he skin was a bit scaly. After the second treatment I could only see only dead mites in the contaminated solution. An hour or so later, some of his "blackhead" pores had opened up.
So it is working very well so far. Not all the blackheads are gone but they are disappearing.
We intent to do a full dip of all our dogs in the next few days.
I chose to use borax and peroxide over other remedies because they are both safe to use on "your own" skin.

Our dog is aprox. 8 years old and a rescue that is probably a Flat Coat Retriever or a Black Lab mix - he has long wavy hair. He developed skin issues a few years ago - especially in winter. He was going nuts chewing and causing hotspots. He also had flaky oily skin year round and this is much better now too. The vet prescribed steroid pills, creams, etc. That helped only slightly and we didn't want him on the rest of his life. We tried cutting out all the likely allergens from his diet w/o luck. He is still on a quality food with no likely allergens.
Finally he is having a better winter if I consistently give him this "treat" he loves every day.
I mix 3 large soup spoons of quality yogurt with a couple tablespoons of ACV and a couple tbsp of Fish Oil and 8 drops of Grapefruit Seed Extract.
I also add 3 drops of the Grapefruit Seed Extract to his water once or twice a day.
There was the start of a spot this year when I wasn't consistent which I applied Coconut oil to a couple of times and it went away.
I told the vet about this mixture and she said it was safe and that she knew some of it would be helpful/healthful.
I hope this helps lots of pets and their people! It is such a relief for us!

MMS

Also he has warts growing all over his body. I have been treating him (for about 3 1/2 weeks now) with 10 drops of mms to 1 ounce of distilled water using a spray bottle. I see some improvement but not much. He still scratches a lot and has some under belly redness, swelling, etc. He also has it on his face, paws, and has loss of hair from a while ago above his eyes.
Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong with the MMS that I don't see improvement.
Thank you very much for your help.
With regard to MMS having no effect, I would take that to mean that you're dealing with a toxin rather than microbes.

ReikiRanch.net, 360-748-4426, talk to Talor. She is the best and will answer questions. Understand I am not saying Taylor is a doctor or is giving medical advice. Taylor can give suggestions, do as you please with her suggestions. A set of MMS and activator is around $48 and will last a long time. I put it in my water. Been using it going slow now for months. Finally got rid of the bloat around my middle.
Oh, they sell some great books also. Ones the big pharma don't want you to know about! Ask Taylor or look it up on the website.

Dog Licking Feet Remedies
Foot chewing and licking are commonly associated with contact allergies. Does your dog experience any allergies? Gunky, yeasty ears? Itchy skin?
Since you have ruled out bacteria and yeast, its possible this is a conditioned behavior in your dog. Super smart dogs may exhibit a behavior they know will draw their owners attention - something to consider.
Dog Licking Feet Remedies
I had one rescue dog that licked incessantly. Shortly after he died of stomach cancer. So I think he was in pain and that was his way of reacting, poor thing. I was devastated as I knew that he had a horrific past and before he came to me the SPCA vaccinated him. After such horrendous experiences he must have been in very fragile health and then vaccination added!
Also my thirty pound oriental spaniel is also licking. I found out that some flees lodge in the paws and live there. He also has mites without any visual evidence and I intend to use Ted's remedy but using vinegar instead of hydrogen perox.
I would have the dog examined carefully without, however, going the endless route of tests. The best and simplest way to deal with it in my opinion is to put the animal on Essiac. After some weeks and up to six months there might be some good results. The tea is also very good for detoxing.
For all emergencies I now use MMS as it has prolonged the life of two of my old cats, dealt with upper respiratory problem and I will also use it for deworming.
I found out that MMS is very good for improving eyesight. Now don't worry, get the Essiac going, do good research and all will be well. Om

I would cut to the chase and just do Ted's MANGE remedy every other day for 3 dips, and then do the MOM formula. Follow directions to the letter - and treat the entire dog, not just spritz the obviously affected areas.

white vinegar is a much, much better option. Make a solution of half white vinegar/half water. Use as an ear wash. And on skin. Change diet to raw meat. Filtered water. Half a clove of garlic a day. Probiotic yogurt. 1 raw egg a week. 1 tin of tuna in oil, drained, once a week to replace a meat meal.
