I love tea tree oil!!!!

[juniper8204]

My little pup, Oona has been battling a few spots of mange. My mother died about a month ago, and potty break times got changed, feeding schedules got changed...everything went topsy turvy. Not long after that, I noticed the spots on her head and one on her shoulder. I tried to see if they'd go away on their own, but they didn't. I already have the dogs on a really good food (Blue Buffalo), so yeast is not a problem here. I bought some tea tree oil after reading about it and I've been applying one drop directly to each spot and then rubbing it in with my finger. One of the spots, in only a week, is already growing back hair!!!!!

I love tea tree oil!!!!

If anyone ever decides to use it as a homeopathic mange treatment, be aware that it can be toxic if overdosed, which is why I only use a total of three drops once a day on Oona. I've also heard, though, on a positive side, that if it's diluted with water and sprayed on, it can be a flea/tick/mosquito deterrant!

I love tea tree oil too! I use it on me AND the dogs.

I had to stop using regular soap after finding that both the Gremlin and I are very very sensative to the Sodium Laureth whatever chemical in them, so we switched everyone INCLUDING the dogs over to natural soaps.

I love love love these soaps for my dogs, especially Birdie, who has sensative skin, but needs frequent baths because of therapy visits, romps in the mud, etc. I can bathe her weekly with no irritation and she smells great. Her fur is so soft that it's like silk now.
