If you're itching to know more about one of our pets' most pesky parasites, this episode is for you. Scabies, or sarcoptic mange, is caused by the Sarcoptes scabiei mite. This mite burrows into the skin and makes the animal intensely itchy! Scabies can be confused for allergies because of redness, hair loss, crusting and scratching. Dogs commonly contract scabies mites from wildlife, including foxes, and can cause skin disease and intense itching in pet owners as well. Listen to this week's episode with special guest Dr. Curtis Plowgian, who has saved many miserable families from these mites.
