Scabies are characterized by papules (red bumps on the skin) and crusty areas that can be seen on the ears, ankles, face and elbows. If a dog is well groomed, it is possible that a dog has scabies, but does not have the red bumps or papules in a condition called scabies incognito. The condition can cause thick and wrinkled skin.

What causes sarcoptic mange? Sarcoptic mange is caused by a parasitic mite (Sarcoptes scabiei) that burrows just beneath the surface of the skin. It is important not to confuse sarcoptic mange with demodectic mange, which is caused by a different parasitic mite (see the handout “Demodectic Mange in Dogs” for more information).

Dogs have an intense allergic reaction to both the mite and its feces, which results in extreme itchiness. The areas most commonly affected on dogs are the margins of ears, elbows and hocks (ankles). The skin often becomes red, with crusts and hair loss.
