Exactly! Called our doctor's and they are not worried in the least. They say if we were to get it, it is no big deal and goes away. BUt like I said, we have had her since December 28th and we have not had a single red dot, rash, itch, NOTHING! And we held her, hugged her and loved her to pieces! I even rubbed her mangy face wehre we scraped her on my cheek and have not a mark or anyting on my cheeks either!

This is unlike human scabies which gets worse and worse unless the condition is treated.
