There are several species of mites that can cause mange in animals, including sarcoptic, psoroptic, and chorioptic mites. Clinical signs of mange include itching, hair loss, redness, scaling, thickened skin, cracks and fissures, and general weakness. Treatment includes injectable ivermectin, topical pesticide sprays, and sulfur ointment applied after removing scales. Atropine may be given if pesticide toxicity occurs.
