Wondering if something could have bitten him (we have huge red ants here) and caused an allergic reaction. Have no idea.
could be the red ants

They can get demodex which is not contagious to other dogs - but they usually get demodex if immune system is poor

5 hmmm did you change food recently?

At that age on next blood draw I would do 6 panel thyroid add on to make sure not hypothyroid as low thyroid can lead to skin conditions
