My pets have scabies! What are my natural / organic options?

[Jason]

Hi everyone! My poor chihuahua, Jubilee, has been diagnosed w/ scabies. My baby has chewed her tail raw.

I read in another thread that an orange oil spray can be used (for around the house). What ratio / mixture should I use? I use orange oil to mop my laminate floors.

Vet gave us sulphur shampoo, but after some research, my wife is giving it the thumbs down. It appears Tea Tree Oil is good, but again, what ratio / dilution / recipe? I also read tea tree oil is toxic to cats (not good since I have 2 cats). Is there a gentle shampoo recipe I can use to get rid of these scabies??

Any natural / organic tips or solutions are greatly appreciated. Jubilee and I thank you! ~Jason

I would do a good search for "Tea Tree shampoo for dogs" or something like that. You should be able to easily find orange oil or tea tree information by searching.
