There are 3 different types of mange: Sarcoptic, Demodectic, and Notoedric mange (which is generally found on cats). All three types are caused my mites that burrow under your pets skin. Sarcoptic mange is the most highly transmittable, yet is the least serious because the mites do not burrow as deep into your pets skin. Notoedric mange is caused by a tiny mite called Notoedres cati.

Mange can result in extreme itching followed by flaky or scabby dandruff, loss of hair, and inflammation of the skin with "pustules", bloody lesions and scabs.

Demodectic mange is a non-contagious mange, meaning that if your dog was around other dogs, they would not catch it. It also doesn't eat away at the skin, it lays eggs in the skin. It mostly infects the puppy at a very young age, when their immune system has not developed yet, and may or may not die out by adulthood. However, it's similar to herpes in that it is a parasite that does not leave completely, but lies dormant until the immune system weakens again.

Sarcoptic mange is a mange that eats at the dog's skin & flesh. A dog may have it at any age, and this mange is bacterial. A dip or series of dip treatments will cure it, but the infestation of sarcoptic mange may point to other infections as well.

You can get Sarcoptic and Notoedric mange mites from your pet, but they do not reproduce on humans. They will cause you extreme itching and irritation for a couple of weeks and then die off, but it will continue as long as your pet has the "problem". These are NOT the same as human scabies mites. Demodectic mange mites are not transmitted to people or other dogs except from mother dog to puppy but Sarcoptic mites will cause you problems as long as your pet has them.

Some pets have a weakened immune systems due to other conditions such as heart worm, cancer, or hypothyroidism, if your pet is around other pets that have mange, if they have been un-bathed for a long time, or live in harsh outdoor conditions, they can be more susceptible to mange mites. Demodectic mange can be brought on more in older dogs if they have had a mange problem in the past. Stress, sickness and weakened immune systems can "trigger" mange.

Unfortunately, the answer is yes to several parasites and conditions. There are a couple of types of mange, Demodectic and Sarcoptic. Mange is a skin condition caused by microscopic mites that live in your pet's skin and hair follicles. Some of the most common symptoms are hair loss, red irritated skin, and scratching.

There are different opinions about this subject. Most veterinarians are going to tell you to wait to see how your puppy will fare if it is noticed right after birth. Since all puppies are born with the demodectic mange mites, the ones with the weaker immune system will have the breakout. Most veterinarians will tell you to neuter/spay puppies that have apparent mange symptoms. Demodectic mange IS a hereditary disease and will be passed on to puppies from the MOTHER.
