Make sure that you get a vet approved flea repellent for your animal primarily. Stop the fleas from ever reaching your pet. Second give the dog a good bath with a flea killing shampoo. Make sure to not increase the pain in the affected area for the animal. And finally those sores hurt terribly on an animal same as a cold sore or others do for us. A good topical remedy is a very very LIGHT coating of hydrocortisone cream will help your animal with the irritated skin.

How dogs get mange?
Yes, dogs can die from mange. It damages the dog's skin to the point that they are susceptible to a variety of other diseases such as skin infections.

Once the dog gets into bad enough shape, it is more humane to put it down rather than try to treat, which may not be effective anyway.

Yes. Mange is contagious. Get those dogs to a veterinarian ASAP!AnswerIt depends on if it is demodectic or sarcoptic mange. "Red mange" has been used to describe both. Demodectic mange is a mite that all dogs have-- they receive it from their mother shortly after birth. Sometimes the populations of this mite grow out of control due to immune issues, large amounts of stress, or adolescence. Sarcoptic mange is contagious to both humans and other dogs, but is easier of the two to treat.ANSWER:Demodectic mange is not contagious all dogs carry this mange. But the reason a dog will have an issue with the mange getting out of control is due to another underlying issue, such as yeast. Vets will treat the mange with ivermectin, prednisone and antibiotics when really all you need to do is change your dogs diet.
