I have a 4 year old Boxer who has broke out in red rashes/spots on his feet, the front of his legs, under his chin on his neck, and around his ear. He has broken out like this before, usually in the summer, but never this bad. He has no hair on the places and they are raw and scabby.

The veterinarian that we have been seeing for about two years now says that it is not demodectic mange. He has told us that the ones on his feet and neck are hot spots and the one around his ear was a bacteria infection that leaked out from his ear. But it seems like no matter what medication we put on the places, they continue to get worse, never better.

When Teej (the boxer) was around six months old, our old veterinarian told us that he had demodectic mange. She diagnosed this from a skin scraping she took and gave us the lyme dip, an oatmeal shampoo, and some other medication. She even showed me the small mange mites on the microscope (I worked for her at the time). And with the medication she gave him, the small spots that he had on his muzzle then seemed to clear up.

I am confused. Our new vet seems to think that once we treated the demodectic mange mites when he was a puppy, that they would never return. But from all the research I have done, I’m starting to think he could be wrong….

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what these spots could be? Or any suggestions for them that we could try at home?? I have spent a lot of money on vet bills trying to get rid of them and nothing seems to be working.

Please help!!!

Dont doubt yourself you saw it the first time, is it the same as before? if so just go to another vet or convince yours to do a scrape

Learn more about demodectic mange.

The dog species of sarcoptic mange can TEMPORARILY infect humans. Usually the itchiness from this lasts about three weeks, or less. The mite can’t live in humans, so it dies. If the dog remains in the household and remains infected it can continue to give its owners new mites, though — so the itching can last longer because there is a constant new supply of mites. Cortisones are sometimes used to reduce the inflammation and itchiness. It is not necessary to kill the mites because the are going to die, anyway.

The human species of sarcoptic mange is contagious between people and is a problem in settings like nursing homes where it can spread pretty rapidly through the resident population in some cases. It is often referred to as scabies.

Demodectic Mange is a skin disease caused by a mite called Demodex dog. The Demodex mite lives in dog hair follicles in the skin of the dog.

Demodectic Mange may occur in dogs of all ages. However, it is most common in puppies 3 months to one year of age.

When demodectic mange is diagnosed in older and more mature dogs that are likely to be a health problem underlying weakened immune system of the dog let the dog susceptible to demodectic mange.

What are the symptoms of demodectic mange in dogs?

There are two forms of demodectic Firm:

• Localized demodectic mange

• Generalized demodectic mange

Localized demodectic mange cause small circular areas of hair loss. There can be only one area or may have several bald patches on the skin of the dog. These areas of hair loss is usually itching, the dog with demodectic mange affected unless they have been infected by bacteria.

Generalized demodectic mange is a skin disease more common, often with lesions covering most of the body. Usually, a secondary bacterial infection is also present, resulting in a dog that is very itchy and uncomfortable. An infected dog with generalized demodectic mange may have a flow that contains blood or pus from infected skin areas. The skin layer is generally crisp, dry and full of scabs and crusts. It is also often a strong smell of the skin of these dogs.

“I’ve got a dog who is about 6 years old and my vet says she has mange! She gave us medicine and pills, and they don’t seem to be helping! Please help me!

It can take awhile to get rid of demodectic mange, because it’s caused by a mite that’s commonly on the dog’s skin anyway. It only turns into demodectic mange because of a weak immune system, or is inherited from the dog’s parents.
There are some things you can do to help: Use an anti itch shampoo or one with soothing oatmeal. Feed the dog a high quality pet store brand dog food, such as Nutro Natural Choice, or Wellness brand. It might help to add immune supporting supplements to the dog’s diet.
If you are not happy with the treatment supplied by your vet, there’s nothing wrong with seeking another vet’s opinion. When my dog had sarcoptic mange, the first vet’s treatment didn’t work, but the second vet’s treatment worked wonderfully.
Hope this helps!”
