It's better to be safe than sorry. Read up on it and then talk with your vet. I'm sure if he or she has any questions about it, they'll do a skin scarping, or you can request for them to do it. Keep my fingers, toes and all crossed that your lil one doesn't have it. When Maggy's fur was thinning, I just chalked it up to, well, she's so young, maybe her fur just hadn't grown in there all the way yet. I'm a worry wart to though and my hubby, kids and my brother and his wife kept saying, oh, she's fine, it just hasn't grown in yet. Well, it just really bugged me and I kept checking it and while I was at the vet with her the other day, I had them check it and they did a skin scraping and sure enough, they found some demodex mites. So glad I had them check it cause left untreated with a pup or dog with a low immune system, it can cause some serious problems. Saying prayers your lil one doesn't have them.
