Are dry scaly patches on dogs the mange and what causes it?
What causes dog mange?
Dry scaly patches are often mange. Of course, there are two different types of mange….demodectic and sarcoptic. Demodectic usually occurs in younger dogs and doesn’t usually cause severe itching even though there will still be hair loss. It is not contagious. Sarcoptic mange is very contagious and will cause lots of scratching and chewing, as well as hair loss.
Diagnosing Dog Mange
Only a veterinarian can diagnose mange and suggest a good treatment plan. If you suspect your dog has mange, please take him to the vet as soon as possible. Here is a website where you can read more about both types of mange.

How do you know your dog has sarcoptic mange?
Sarcoptic mange is very contagious to humans and other animals, but it sounds like your dog has a flea allergy and possibly other allergies as well. dogs with fleas will typically chew at the base of their tail and dogs with chronic allergies will typically develop black skin. SEE YOUR VET!

Sarcoptic Mange Information
I know of a few over the counter treatments, for various kinds of mange. I’m trying to avoid an astronomical vet bill.
Try scratching her ear flap on the inside with your finger nail. if her foot starts scratching or it makes her feel good then she probrablly has sarcoptic mange. or some kind of mange i can never remember which. but its a quick and easy test. then go to the vet for skin scrapings for a definite diagnosis.
Dealing with Sarcoptic Mange
* try the edge of the ear on the inside too, also known as the pinna*
This really does work. but its not a diagnosis by itself. its just a quick and easy way to rationalize a skin scraping. you still need the medications.
Everyone gives me the thumbs down but they most likely dont work at a vet. look it up online heres the website
