Vinegar helped a fungus problem on my Dog!

by Kelly
(Rancho Mirage, California)

French translation

A couple months ago, i noticed that my little dog started developing roundish bald areas on her coat. One on her front leg, one on her back leg and one on her back/ribs.

The spots were about as big as a quarter. That's pretty big for her, as she is an 8 lb Toy Fox Terrier.

Upon closer inspection, I realized that it looked like a fungal infection. I know that Apple Cider Vinegar gets rid of Fungus on Human toes, so i tried it on my dog.

I bathed her in a Vinegar/Water rinse every day. (no soap--just water and ACV) I also blotted each spot with pure ACV approx 2-3x per day. The spots began to lose the redness and the hair grew back within a week!

Now she has a fungus spot on her lower lip that is very stubborn. I am treating it with ACV also. The redness has disappeared and the swelling has gone down.

I keep a couple gallons of ACV in my kitchen! I am very thankful as it saved me lots of money to the Vet and saved her from being exposed to antibiotics and harmful anti-fungal creams.

ACV IS AWESOME!!!

Now, I need to figure out how to give it to her in her diet. She won't drink water with vinegar in it!

After this 2nd round of fungus, we have sworn off the local dog park!

Fungal infections are caused by too much carbs in food
by: Sharon

I can tell you that when a dog has repeat fungal issues...you need to look at the diet. Carbs in the diet are the biggest culprit. Add a grain-free food, and you will be amazed at what happens!!!

Fungus lives in collar
by: Anonymous

When a dog gets a fungus it can sometimes continue to live in the dog's collar or harness even after the dog is cured.

This means the problem will keep coming back again and again.

It's always worthwhile to wash the collar/harness and anything else the dog has regular contact with, e.g. soft toys, soft dog bed in the washing machine with a bleach solution during and after treatment. Check the instructions for correct use of bleach.
