Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / March 2006Lymdip - Is there a shortage of Sulfurated Lime Solution in the US?
My cats are suffering from mange and I cannot find a bottle of lymdip, 16oz or Gallon, anywhere online. Everyone says they are on backorder until April and some are now claiming May. Some sites have even removed any reference to Lymdip on their sites. Google still remembers they used to sell it but they web storefronts don't. Most requests for information from sellers just come back its on backorder. Have sent an email to the manufacturer but haven't seen a reply yet. From what I have seen there is only one company that makes this stuff. Anyone have any knowledge of where someone could buy lymdip? Or perhaps a suitable substitute? Thanks! > Anyone have any knowledge of where someone could buy lymdip? Or perhaps a > suitable substitute?

Here is one site that looks like they do have Lymdip in stock: http://www.johnsonvethospital.com/pet_products.htm A 23% solution of lime sulfur solution is available at garden stores, but you need to dilute it so it matches the strength of Lymdip to make it safe for use in cats. You can find instructions about using it in a shampoo solution here: http://www.showcatsonline.com/x/limesulphur_shampoo.htm > Thanks! >> My cats are suffering from mange and I cannot find a bottle of >> lymdip, 16oz or Gallon, anywhere online.

I have a little more helpful nfo for you. I was talking to my vet for quite some time today and we got on the subject of ringworm and Lymdip. I mentioned your post about mange and he said that both Frontline and Revolution can be used to get rid of mange as well as for flea control. It should be used once a month just as you would if you were treating for fleas. >> >> My cats are suffering from mange and I cannot find a bottle of >> >> lymdip, 16oz or Gallon, anywhere online.

Revolution works great for mange, but as far as I know Frontline does absolutely nothing for it! I've had plenty of animals with sarcoptic mange (I assume that's what we are talking about) who were on Frontline. I don't know where your vet is getting that info, but if there's actually data about using frontline in this way, please get specifics!
