scabies

Canine scabies is a more severe pruritic skin disease. The development of scabies mites needs to go through four stages: egg, larva, larvae and adult. The entire development process is spent in dogs, usually completed within 2 to 3 weeks. The scabies mites dig tunnels in the epidermis of the skin, and females lay eggs in the tunnels. Each female can lay 20 to 50 eggs in its lifetime. The eggs hatch into larvae, which have 3 pairs of legs and are 0.11-0.14mm long. The hatched larvae crawl to the surface of the skin, dig small holes in the skin, and molt into juveniles (nymphs) in the burrows. The larvae also burrow into the skin to form narrow and shallow tunnels, and molt into adults inside. Females live about 3 to 4 weeks, and males die after mating. Canine mange mites are infected through direct contact.

Treatment:

The main treatment for scabies mites is subcutaneous injection of ivermectin or doramectin, but abamectin can also be used. Canine scabies mites can temporarily invade people, causing itching and papular dermatitis, but canine scabies mites cannot reproduce on people, so people can heal themselves without treatment.

Topical Sierra Factor (Big Pet) drops are currently the most effective and longest-lasting method.
