Question:

What is mange and how does it affect dogs?


Answers:

it is a parasitic infestation of the skin of animals. Common symptoms include hair loss, itching and inflammation, all of which are caused by microscopic mites. Mange is most commonly found in dogs and other canines, but it can occur in other domestic and wild animals. Similar skin infestations in humans are not usually called mange but Demodicidosis which may have rosacea-like appearances.

and worse is Sarcoptic mange AKA canine scabies is actually a burrowing mite. The canine sarcoptic mite can also infest humans and cats, pigs, horses, sheep and various other species...kinda freaky huh!
