WORMS or Lice or Mange
Hair loss in your dog can be just one sign of mange. There are many types of mange such as Sarcoptic, Demodectic and Cheyletiellosis. Mange is basically a mite infection/infestation of one type or another with dog hair loss, itching and scratching some of the signs to watch out for. A mange infection can be serious and it is suggested you take your dog to the vet for diagnosis and treatment if you suspect your dog hs mange. Source: http://www.doghairloss.co.uk/miteandmange.shtml
The mange is inherent in all dog breeds in the same way that the measles and/or mumps is inherent in all children, which is why children get inoculated against these diseases at an early age. The mange usually doesn't manifest in a dog with a healthy immune system. Common* mange is almost always brought on by stress and usually found on stray dogs that must fend for themselves and don't have regular nutritious feedings.*There is one form of mange that can be spread from dog to dog, so it's important that any sign of mange be tested by a vet to determine which type the dog carries. Although mange can be treated by a vet to rebuild a dog's immune system, if a dog is turned into the Humane Society with signs of mange, one should know that it will be destroyed.

Mange is a parasitic condition of the fur follicles at skin level. There is no fur in a dog's mouth.
It could be mange. Mange is not an immediate threat but I would suggest taking your dog to the vet soon.
The most effective methods for treating horse mange include using topical medications prescribed by a veterinarian, maintaining good hygiene and grooming practices, and providing a clean and comfortable living environment for the horse. Additionally, treating all affected horses in the same environment is important to prevent the spread of mange.
This is probably the result of your dog getting mange. You need to call your vet to see what the best course of action is. Mange is very contagious from dog to dog, so you will have to be careful.
Either it has mange or an infection, or possibly even fleas, I'd get it checked out soon, as mange can be deadly.
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. Go to www.milehighbullmastiffs and there is a link to a book that will tell you how to cure this and how to keep your pet as healthy as possible for the rest of it's life.
