Chiggers, also called harvest mites or red bugs, live as adults in decaying vegetation. Only their larval forms are parasitic. Dogs acquire the infestation while prowling in forest grasslands and fields in late summer and fall, when chiggers are reproducing. The result is severe itching with the formation of sores and scabs. The diagnosis is made by identifying the mites by visual inspection or by microscopic examination of skin scrapings.
SCABIES (sarcoptic mange) is caused by tiny spiderlike mites. Scabies is highly contagious and is transmitted primarily by direct contact and through contaminated grooming equipment and kennels. Probably no other skin disease will cause your dog to scratch and bite at his skin with such intensity.
Ask the Vet. exactly what it is that your dog has. Take a pen and paper and write every detail down and let us know. |
