QuestionMy poor Sayde has a BUNCH of bumps under her fur. The hair is starting to get kinda sparse too. She has problems with her ears that I seem to manage with rubbing alcohol. But the red, bumps, dry skin and itching have me considerably worried. I though it might be mange, but I used this mange spray today and now she's redder and bumpier than ever before....Please HELP!!!
AnswerHi Johanna: You will need a vet to see her and decide if it is Mange.
Unfortunately, the only way to know for sure whether or not your dog has mange is to take her to the vet and have a skin scraping done. When the vet does this, it will determine if she has mange and what kind of mange it is.
If you want to try another route, use some Skin and Coat Supplements:
here are some ideas for you:
First off, the ears should be cleansed with something not so drying to the skin area. Here is a recipe for you to make...
NATURAL EAR TREATMENTS
1. Ear delight is nature's way of caring and treating smelly ear problem and just a dab will do it.
Essential Formula
1 drop tea tree oil
1 drop lavender oil
1 drop chamomile oil
1 teaspoon warm olive oil
Remember to do a patch test
Dilute tea tree, lavender and chamomile oils in 1 teaspoon warm olive oil and mix. Apply 2-4 drops of the formula with an eye dropper into the ear and massage around the ear for one/ two minutes and swab with cotton ball until clean.
Shelf Life: discard after use
Purpose: to cleanse, kill bacteria and break down wax build up.
tea tree oil: natural antiseptic, antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal
lavender oil: antiseptic, antiviral and antifungal
chamomile: natural antiseptic
olive oil: carrier oil
Note: all ingredients can be found at your local health food store.

Second idea:
Use NuVET Plus - this is the BEST doggie vitamin/skin supplement in the USA. Only about .50 cents per day for this wafer treat...
NuVET has a 90 day MONEY BACK Guarantee for you. If NuVET Plus doesn't stop the itching and redness within 90 days, they will refund your purchased price.... Give NuVET a chance to help Sayde and her allergies... It will cure Mange, too!
Here is the number for NuVET Plus - NOT sold in Stores
ONLY thru kennels and breeders.... Use the 1-800 number and ask for the 15 % discount / use order code 81098 ( Tell them Marie sent you from The Doggie Chalet.)
1-800-474-7044 Ext 265 ( JOAN Harris) - Ask her anything you want. Joan will be glad to get you started on NuVET Plus.

Third:.. Buy some Tea Tree Oil Shampoo for Sayde. This will help her areas to heal and offer some relief. The NuVET site sells Tea TREE oil shampoos and Hot Spot Sprays, too. Ask them about our special shampoos for skin problems.
They will deliver in 3 days via Priority Mail ...
Make sure she is eating a good food that has little fillers.... ( or no fillers and no corns)
Let me know if you want to change food brands... I can help with that, too!
BEST wishes on this!!!!
