I don't know about that, but burnt motor oil will. It will be messy, but it works.
NO! Boric acid can be quite toxic. Talk to the vet about the best way to handle this, they have some medicines that are safe, but this is no time to try anything without medical supervision.
NO. Boric acid can be poison a dog it is not a deterrent at all. They spray it around my house once a month in a low concentration for ants. The dogs dont care about it at all.
No. The vet has special cream that will kill the mange mites. I don't know of any other place you can get the cream.
Yes
It depends on what the cause is. If it's mange, only a vet can fix it. and mange can kill over time.
Hair loss in your dog can be just one sign of mange. There are many types of mange such as Sarcoptic, Demodectic and Cheyletiellosis. Mange is basically a mite infection/infestation of one type or another with dog hair loss, itching and scratching some of the signs to watch out for. A mange infection can be serious and it is suggested you take your dog to the vet for diagnosis and treatment if you suspect your dog hs mange. Source: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk/miteandmange.shtml
The mange is inherent in all dog breeds in the same way that the measles and/or mumps is inherent in all children, which is why children get inoculated against these diseases at an early age. The mange usually doesn't manifest in a dog with a healthy immune system. Common* mange is almost always brought on by stress and usually found on stray dogs that must fend for themselves and don't have regular nutritious feedings.*There is one form of mange that can be spread from dog to dog, so it's important that any sign of mange be tested by a vet to determine which type the dog carries. Although mange can be treated by a vet to rebuild a dog's immune system, if a dog is turned into the Humane Society with signs of mange, one should know that it will be destroyed.
you mean minge
Mange is a parasitic condition of the fur follicles at skin level. There is no fur in a dog's mouth.
It could be mange. Mange is not an immediate threat but I would suggest taking your dog to the vet soon.
Scabbing not caused by a wound, especially if it is bleeding (from scratching), is a sign of the mange and should be treated as soon as possible by a veterinarian. It can gradually spread across a dog's body and eventually kill it.
Boric acid can be toxic to children if licked or swallowed, children are more sensitive to it more than adults. If your dog swallowed it it wouldnt really do that much.
