Red98vett--BTW the VET is the one that said there were no more ear mites, I posted this to get help not to be yelled at!
rilee is going to the vet in about 25 minutes, to get checked out. will post when we return if I have time to let those of you who are concerned know whats going on

LOL - who's yelling ??

You said you couldn't afford the vet care...said numerous times that you can't afford this - and I was trying to HELP.

This should be easy to clear up......my comment was just joking about how you would feel - but seriously - if a dog is scratching that bad there is obviosly a problem and needs medical attention

why do people take such an attitude when someone responds ?....this is another example of why I slowed WAY down on posting here

I hope your dog gets to feeling better. After dealing with chronic ear problems with my cockers I know the symptoms all too well.

Yes, eggs can fall on the furniture. These can be picked up by humans, so you and your family could get it. It is self-limiting in humans, meaning dog sarcoptic mange isn't the same form that prefers humans so people can get general itchiness from them but nothing serious. It is possible to spread them to other people and then to their pets.
