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

My dog, Chap, has an auto-immune disease that affects hair growth. He barely has any hair. He developed a stye on his eye. He received antibiotics for this, which I think caused his immune system to cower and so he developed demodectic mange. I decided to try this instead of presumed meds the vet wanted to give and this cleared my dogs skin right up. I could see a difference in his skin within a day…..a major improvement within 5 days. It doesn’t smell good but it’s not as bad as some people in the reviews make it out to be….I guess it might if mix and apply it inside. I mixed and applied mine outside. You don’t rinse it off so there is a faint aroma that lingers on him but I’m ok with that…as long as he feels and looks better. I highly recommend this stuff!

This stuff is nothing short of amazing in my opinion. I mixed in a bucket the directed 4 ounces to one gallon of water and used a large sponge making sure I got under the fur. I noticed an improvement in is comfort immediately following and progressing to today (day four) NO itching at all and the skin on the itchy hairless areas are toned down to pink, but not red or inflamed. The problem still exists so I am staying with it and dosing him again tomorrow, day five as recommended and expecting even more improvement. I had planned on giving him a bath prior to the first treatment (and he will get one this time with soothing oatmeal shampoo) but I was trying to beat the rain and wanted some instant relief for him. Honestly, I was not expecting such good results. Yes it smells but nothing unbearable.

Item is goodBut delivery was horrible. They put it on a lawn chair by the shed. No where near my front door or my house.

Awful smell. Not sure if it’s working as two out of three dogs are still itchy, but not as much. Do not wear silver jewelry on hands, will turn them black.

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.

e bought this for our Yorkie who was suffering from what was diagnosed as ringworm since november 2017 as a young tiny puppy.oral meds and topicals werent working. we did some of our own research and found that sulfur dips is the way to kill off many skin problems. we did the dips, twice, skin was irritated but looked alot better than before. Our female Yorkies is only 1.5 lbs so we had to be careful with her shes very delicate. SHe will not be getting any more dips. Her skin was just too inflamed and her signs and symptoms of having ringworm werent intact. She has more of layers of skin flaking off in sheets it seems. Our male Yorkie received one more dip as his skin is still not good but mad some improvements. seems as if theres more going on than ringworm. Yeast for sure. I just wish they could both be well as its been a long time for them to be like this.The sulfur dip may help you as we hoped it would help us.
