Scabies

Causes: 

Also known as canine scabies, this disease is caused by a circular-shaped, eight-legged mite called the Sarcoptes scabiei. This form of mange is highly contagious. The parasite can be transmitted from dog to dog and can pass from dogs to humans, although it doesn’t thrive on non-canine hosts. Female mites burrow into the skin to lay their eggs. The eggs hatch in about three weeks, and the young feed on the host’s skin.

Natural Remedies:

Massaging your dog with oils containing neem can greatly help, as neem is known to destroy mites. It is necessary to boost your dog’s immune system, with the help of supplements, so that the infestation does not spread. Use shampoos that soothe and relieve itching. You must clean the bedding of your dog regularly to prevent further infestation.
