How Do I Know If My Dog Has Mange?
There Are 3 Dogs And 1 Cat One Dog Is Itching Alot And Has Sores And Loses Hair. One Dog Is Just Biting At His Butt And The Hair Is Gone. The Last Dog Is Only Scratching A Little As Is The Cat. My Husband And I Feel Like We Are Being Bitten And He Has A Severe Rash On His Tummy. The Vet Thinks Its Sarcoptic Mange But How Do I Know? Is There Different Stages To It Is That Why Every Dog Is Different?
the vet should be able to do a skin scraping to determine if it is mange. It is possible that you would have scabies, sarcoptic mange, as well if the dogs have it. Have you seen any fleas?

My Pomeranian has sarcoptic mange from breeders!?
I took my 8 week old pom to the vet cause she was scratching and losing hair, and found out she has sarcoptic mange. I showed the vet a rash I have developed since I have had her and he said I have it to, that it is very contagious to humans. I went to my doc and got cream, and the pup and my other dog are being treated now. The pup is miserable and in a playpen in my room, with her bed and food and water and I clean the playpen 2x day and change her piddle pad, but she wants so bad for me to hold her! She cried constantly for attention. I don’t want to pick her up for a week, until her next treatment, when the vet said she should no longer be contagious. Can anyone recommed something to soothe her, while she is in “isolation”? I do go in and talk to her but limit my time in the room with her, becuase I am afraid of being re-infected! (i have held her for a couple of min and then put my clothes in washer and take a shower, but only hold her for a couple of mins.) Thanks!
Thanks so much to the first two reponders, your answers were very heartfelt and sincerely appreciated!
I think this is one of the saddest stories I’ve ever seen on this site. You have my sympathy now, seriously. Your breeder should be shot and then eaten by rabid wolverines for being so irresponsible.
This is such a tough situation for both of you. You can perhaps try to put an article of clothing with your scent on it, but nothing’s really going to be a substitute for your arms or physical presence. You can also try a loudly ticking clock or a radio so she doesn’t feel quite so alone.
Will pray for you and your puppy to get better very soon. Good luck.
