Vet Basics Lime Sulfur Dip- Concentrated Solution- for Dogs, Cats & Horses- 16oz

I’ll update this weekly for the next 6 weeks. Some background: I have an Aussie mix. For the last year she has been to the vet every 10 days. Multiple scrapings, never found mange. She has been constantly on antibiotics, antifungals, anti yeast pills, Creams, shampoos, wipes, sprays, homemade and prescription. Some made it worse, some worked for about a month. After being more than $3,000 in and watching her struggle and just be miserable. I was very much considering that maybe this was the end even though she’s so young as I couldn’t force her to live so uncomfortably (she would whine because she was so miserable constantly!) Her tummy, sides, paws, back legs, and ears were raw, hairless and red. Week 1.) It’s been just 6 hours and so far the redness on my dogs sides, belly, and in between her toes has lessened. Her swollen toes have gone down as well. She is much more comfortable it seems. The smell is strong, however it goes away 98% within 2 hrs. I used a cleaner milk gallon jug, filled it with water, added 4 tablespoons in (outside), hosed her down and washed her with a medicated shampoo then while she was still wet shook up the gallon jug and poured it all over her and used an old rag to rub it in. I then put a donut collar on her and let her stay outside for 4 hours (no rinsing the product off). I had some left over and poured it all over the porch (where she lays) and on the bottom part of her crate (where she sleeps at night). I let those just sit for about 30 min in the sun then dumped it off and let it air dry. Then washed all of her bedding on hot with a vinegar & essential oil solution (1:1 water & vinegar with 10 droppers peppermint oil) All this happened at 3pm, it’s now 9:15pm and she for the first time is resting comfortably with no whining and very very minimal licking / scratching (maybe a total of 90 accumulative seconds since the “bath”. Before she’d be scratching for 5-10 min every hour.) Her next one will be on 9/30/19 (going for a full 6 weeks) and I’ll come back and update then. Week 2.) This time I went with the recommended dosage instead of a more diluted one since I felt comfortable enough that it wouldn’t cause a reaction. 4 oz in a gallon milk jug, washed her before hand with an anti fungal and anti bacterial shampoo then immediately followed it with the lime sulfur dip. The hair on her abdomen has begun growing back, as well as on her sides. There is no more redness on her abdomen any more! There is still redness between her toes unfortunately BUT they’re no longer swollen at all! Trace amounts of redness can be found on her sides, however 75-80% has cleared! I have also been using the remainder of the mixture to soak her plastic crate bottom in and laundering her bedding in hot water with a vinegar and peppermint oil solution. Will update again for week 3. (Doing 5-6 treatments total) Also, the smell this time around wasn’t as potent, I suppose that’s due to just getting used to it / seeing the benefits my dog is having so I’m just too happy to care. Week 3.) I just learned to make this MOST effective you need to wash the dog with a benzoyl wash before dipping. I’ve been washing her before but haven’t been using a benzoyl wash. Will buy and use that in conjunction with this for the next 3 washes I have left. Anyways, one side of my dog is having very steady hair re-growth, no more discoloration. The other side is lagging behind, has hair regrowth but still has a couple red spots however the entire area is not red or pink anymore just a few straggler spots. Her toes are doing better (still pink inbetween), her ears are doing much better (no more pink), her belly is 95% better.

Used this on my 14month old husky ... demodex is completely cured now after 5 dips with a combination of ivermectin shots at 4days interval ...

Update: this definitely works, my dog is much much better and happier. Fur has grown back and his bad smell has gone after just 2 treatments. Thoroughly recommend and so pleased we tried this. Just tried this, so I can't comment on the effect yet, hence 4 stars. Thought I'd share my tips though. I don't think I'll ever be able to look an egg sandwich in the face again. I'm so glad we did the bathing outside! I bought a cheap kiddies paddling pool, new pair of marigolds and dressed in old clobber. Bathing a 38lb chocolate Labrador is always a back breaking experience, but Rupe was very good. Don't attempt this on your own, you need a partner to hold the dog, we used one of those lampshade collars too. I did the bathing whilst my husband stood over our dog and made lots of jokes about eggy farts. Beware when you finish - your dog will shake! Put him/her on a lead and go for a walk straight away! The husband did this whilst I poured a big glass of wine! This stuff is really expensive and one hell of an exercise, but if you're at your wit's end and so is your dog then it's worth the hassle (I hope). Do it outside, have a helper and wear gloves. Hopefully it will work on our dog, I'll let you know if I can!

This has worked Miracles for my dog. She's been scratching like mad to the point she's lost some hair on her rump and has had a sore on her ear for weeks that she would not let heal. I've tried everything you can imagine to stop this. One treatment with this and within 3 days her ear has healed and her hair is growing back! She's noticeably happier and I am so relieved! I could not recommend enough! We bathed her Inside in the bath as the weather is so bad and although it stinks it hasn't stained the bath (phew). Really is worth every penny.

This immediately improved my cats ringworm. A combination of this and oral terbinafine pills from the vets made a drastic change in their infection. I was originally treating my one cat with miconazole cream & terbinafine pills but he wasn't showing any improvement. When I saw my other cat get a patch on her toe I knew I needed to step up my game. This made a much bigger difference. The application - I applied it while the cat sat in my shower with the door closed inside of a clean litter box (I have one they never used). This collected the liquid that came off of them and contained the mess & allowed me to reuse it. It also got the bottom of their paws on it, which was an infected area. This helped a lot. If I were to do it on them full body again I think a spray bottle would be a good applicator. For applying around their eyes I recommend using a cheap tooth brush. My cat has it surrounding one eye completely and this is how I applied. I made sure to avoid his mucus membranes, but at the same time I had to get it close as that's where his infection is the worst. I then put cones on them and gave them both churu. After the light towel drying so they aren't dripping they should be allowed to air dry for several hours before they groom. After applying I immediately ran the shower on hot for a while to thoroughly wash away the lime sulfur solution. Some smell lingered and I've tried cleaning with a vinegar solution, which worked OK, but there may be better cleaning products. After my cats dried they needed significant brushing. A very large amount of hair came out, which is normal after bathing. There was also some hair loss & dry skin on one of my cats ears as I accidentally made the solution a bit too strong the first bath. This healed over a few days, though. I did go longer between treatments to wait for him to heal, but the first bath alone nuked basically all of his ringworm and he didn't have any patches glowing under black light for 1.5 weeks after and significant hair grew back in that time. He now has a very tiny glow above his eye still, which I am spot treating every 3/4 days. I also treat his forearm that he rubs that area with during grooming as ringworm previously transferred there. My other cat needed 2 treatments + terbinafine to have her minor ringworm symptoms go away. My recommendation I haven't seen elsewhere - if you get significant amounts of this on any clothes or towels just throw them out. I ran mine through the wash AND dryer. This made the washer and dryer require heavy cleaning and the smell got on other clothes / my blanket which I ran through after. I STRONGLY encourage you not to do this. I'd say either use old towels or buy the cheapest towels you can find.
