Yeah, scabies in humans is different in dogs.
What I am mainly asking is did your vet say it was for sure Sarcoptic Mange, or did he say it was mange mites, or mites? The reason I ask is because my your description it sounds more like skin mites, AKA walking dandruff/Cheyletiella mite. Which is VERY common with puppies and they can be confused with other mange mites which will leave bare patches, scaly skin, severe itching, etc.
Here check out what I mean here, there are pics of the ugly mites too..
Mange- Demodetic, Sarcoptic and Cheyletiella
