Vetoquinol 411512 Lime Sulfur Dip,4 oz

my poor persian male named grimlin has mange/bumpy itchy/irritated skin, i 1st put 3oz in 1 gallon of water and dipped him, i quickly realized one bottle is meant for only one dip because your supposed to put 4 oz in 1 gallon so i bottled my last precious ounce of sulfur and dipped him in the bucket, he as not happy my husband and i had scratches everywhere but after putting on a collar to prevent licking til he dried he seemed content with no itch, until 6 days afterwards he was itching again and seemed irritated so i realized i didnt have enough sulfur to dip him in a gallon again so i put my remaining sulfur in a old windex cleaning bottle and put hot water to the top and guess what ?! were on week 4 and there is still plenty of the bottled sulfur left to spray on to his fur, not dipping him into a gallon of the stuff i havent had scratches since i started spraying him, but shake the new mixture before you spray you your cat, dont get in eyes or ears so i spray and rub into the furr with my hands and he likes it better than being dipped and it still works as well as being dipped and the stuff last longer this way, but you have to heat up the mixture before each spray or your cat will be pissed off that your spraying him with cold mixture, do not put the bottle in the microwave, just fill up the kittchen sink with hot water and let the spray bottle sit in the hot water it will heat up that way, and yes my cat grimlin, he licks himself after it dries but i give him a bowl of milk to suck up any sulfer he is ingesting and he is again content with no itch til day 5, i am also giving him twice a day immune support drops for cats that i bought from amazon too and its better than a huge vet bill and a shot of poison the vet would give him so, thats my review, i also just bought a shampoo that is called "SynergyLabs VF Clinical Care Antiparasitic,Antiseborrheic Medicated Shampoo, 17oz" i havent recieved it yet but it has amazing reviews so i plan on working this into his weekly spray of sulfer and immune support and its better again than stressing him out to the vet when this seems to be working wonders UPDATE- THE SHAMPOO MENTIONED ABOVE IS A MIRACLE WORKER, FORGET BUYING THE LIME DIP JUST BUY THE SYNERGY LABS VF CLINICAL CARE ANTIPARASITIC, ANTISEBORRHEIC MEDICATED SHAMPOO. my cat is HEALED completley!!!! thank god, and no vet bill ;) buy the shampoo on amazon, shampoo your pet every 3 days till no longer needs the shampoo worked within 2 weeks for my cat yay! good luck, thanks

So, yes, it does smell like rotten eggs or a geyser in Yellowstone. And yes, it is a shocking shade of rust orange. But it works! My cat has feline leukemia, and when we rescued a ferrel long-haired kitten, this beautiful golden nugget brought us more than just love - he brought ringworm. We've been "dipping" twice a week (all the cats in the house), and while it's not the most pleasant, it's not awful. Used in conjunction with oral agents (Itraconazole liquid or Lamisil tablets; go to GoodRx dot com if you need help affording oral lamisil), we've seen significant improvement. My nails get stained during the bath, but they soon return to normal. Orange-tinged fur returns to normal. Our towels haven't stained, nor has the porcelain of the tub - but I make sure to rinse everything thoroughly after use. Here are my tips: 1. My vet recommends 8 oz. to every one gallon warm water. No one wants a cold dip! 2. Make the environment pleasant. I heat up the bathroom with a space heater, have plenty of towels on the floor for quick access and soft landings, and make sure to keep calm and confident. The cats can tell! 3. I dip them in a Sterilite plastic tote, approx, 60qt. I put half of the gallon on the bottom, and have another 1/2 gallon in a pour container. Use the "scruff" method to help calm and control your fur ball, and place them gently in the warm basin. Make sure you palpate their paws to expose their claws to the solution, as ringworm can hide! Drizzle, rub, and gently pour the solution over the fur, all the while telling your cats how much you love them and they're worth it. I use a washcloth to get better coverage and permeation. 4. They may howl, meow, or look terrified - but none of my cats have ever hissed or become violent. Be careful though - they may try to climb you like a tree to escape the water. So watch their claws! 5. The head is tricky. Tip their head back and use a washcloth to gently rub the solution on the fur around their whiskers, mouth, ears, and eyes - making sure the solution doesn't go in. Some recommend using a toothbrush for this, but I found a soaked washcloth works better for me. Make sure you get the inner and outer aspects of their ears. 6. Don't panic if they lose fur during the process! Because ringworm lives in the hair follicles, shedding is a natural part of the healing process (it's also a ringworm symptom, so expect loose hairs or patchy loss). Make sure you brush before the bath and after they're dried to control the location of the hair loss, and keep the environment clean. You may also notice scaly skin (like the world's worst dandruff), but it will get better! Vacuum, swiffer, and chlorox wipes are your friend. Good luck! It's a struggle, but it's doable. My fur-amily is completely worth it!

I adopted a feral/stray young cat who started showing symptoms of ringworm (it glowed in the vet's office). After trying to treat the original spot with lamisil cream and seeing it spread from the tiny spot in his ear to all over the left side of his head, I started using this lime sulfur once a week. Because he got ringworm in the winter and its way too cold to keep wetting him weekly, I've only been applying this stuff to his head. I make a cup full of the solution (5ml lime sulfur to 120ml water) and apply it on his head and around his ears thoroughly using bits of paper towel or cotton balls. It takes about 10 minutes plus another 15 for clean up. I've found that the smell is not that strong and does get weaker with each application (don't know if this means that the lime sulfur is also becoming less effective) but it is important to do this in a well ventilated area. As for clothes I wear just a dark t shirt. The smell on clothing and in the room disappears after about a day. I would say not to worry about damaging your clothes if they're dark. I put a cone on my cat's head for about 8-12 hours after applying the lime sulfur so that it would thoroughly dry without him touching it. (He also wore the cone for two weeks in the beginning until I felt sure that the ringworm was really dying and the bald spots were no longer spreading.) The lime sulfur does cause some hair loss but it's different from that caused by the ringworm in which the hair comes out in large batches. This is how I could tell if the ringworm was spreading.. if the hair came out as I pulled at it in batches then it was ringworm! I've applied this stuff to his head now 6 times and will continue to do so once a week another 3 times. As for my other cat, who is older and who we started using this stuff on several weeks later, she is not responding as well. (Cats don't live together but did have contact hence the shared ringworm.) I'll write a separate review for her later and update this one if need be.

Noticed a big difference on the first treatment. I fully expect this to take away the mange in the next treatment. My dogs hair was almost gone when I started the first treatment and now the mange is hardly noticeable. This was worth every penny and I would recommend to anyone. Not only did it take away the mange but my dog no longer has flees and I haven’t seen a tick on him for a few weeks now. Just a quick tip mix in a gallon jug and use with a spray bottle. Much easier than dipping or pouring on the animal. UPDATE: It has been a few months since using the product. I can without a doubt say this is a fantastic product. If you have any issues with flees, mites, the mange, ticks ect. This will kill it all!!! My dogs fur looks as beautiful as ever!!!

I ended up just putting this on the worst spots for ringworm and rubbing on belly and underarms of my two dogs to help stop spreading. I held them still for 15 minutes then bathed with an antifungal shampoo. None of the reviews I read mentioned the danger of injestion. The instructions to dip them, and let dry naturally, but DO NOT let them injest, scared me. I didnt have a collar and it was too cold to put them out anyway. That said, yes this really stinks! The dogs didnt care at all. I think the way I used it did help keep the ringworm from spreading. The anti fungal shampoo also has helped. If this came back in the spring or summer, I would invest in the collars and dip them both outside. 3 because of the safety issue.

This stuff smells foul, and your dog or cat will smell foul for a week or so after, but it works. Make sure you cone your animal until the dip has dried. If your critter has cooties, this will kill them but not the lingering eggs, so be prepared to face the stink again in a couple of weeks to get the new hatches erradicated. I have used this on dogs and cats with good results & I think this is much safer in the long run than the commonly suggested modern pesticides, especially for kittens. It also helps with certain skin infections. It is easy to do on dogs, but a flaming nightmare to do on older cats, however, oven mitts and persistance can win.

This product worked so well to rid my dog of patchy hair loss. I just put it in a small spray bottle and sprayed him and combed it through his hair. I don’t think you need to “dip” with this unless it’s parasite or mange. Make sure to dilute it. It is sulfur so it has a strong odor when wet but not noticing once dry. Apply it outdoors if possible to avoid staining up the room. Definitely works very quickly. Stopped his itching by second application and the hair starting growing back within a week. Recommend.

My dog has had problem skin for years since he was rescued from neglectful owners who left him to get infested with fleas and ticks. It's been a battle getting his skin irritations and infections under control, not to mention the amount of money I've spent on vet bills, more and more expensive foods, etc. The vet said we should do a Sulphur lime dip. She said I could do it at home but it smells terrible so I'd probably want to have it done at her office. I decided to go the cheap route and give it a try myself. My dog had areas of trouble, his arm and leg pits and his anus and underside of his tail. The product does indeed smell terrible so, rather than dip him, I made a mixed water + product solution that I put in a spray bottle. I asked my dog if he wanted to go for a walk. He got excited as usual and we went outside and I pretty much blind sided him with the product. I sprayed those areas then started walking him before he had time to freak out. The walk distracted him from licking and gave the product time to dry. Once we returned home, the smell was minimal. I repeated this process each week for 4 weeks and he's no longer constantly scratching and licking. I also bathe him once a week with medicated shampoo, which never really helped his skin issues much, so I know the Sulphur lime dip has been quite effective. I just wanted to share the spray bottle tip to save others from the headache of full emersion application if your dog only has isolated areas like mine did.

Great customer service inquiries. Ensured package was on time and was satisfied with quality of assistance.

I have a cat that was losing her hair and had very sore looking skin that happened almost overnight. She did not have fleas and is an indoor cat, i couldnt get her to a vet due to covid so researched and researched and every possible cause pointed towards this as a treatment. Its expensive for a small amount and I was not prepared for the stench BUT after the very first treatment her skin has cleared up and within days her fur is growing back. I am going to do 3 baths over the next 3 weeks as was recommended by a vet nurse i know just to be sure whatever it was has gone. So glad for her shes so much more comfortable.
