Expert Answer

Lice on a dog usually cause skin itching, small red rashes, lumps, and hair loss, and in sensitive dogs can cause allergic dermatitis. Deworm immediately and repeat after a week to ensure complete removal.

Also keep the indoor environment clean; wash and disinfect the dog’s items and sun them. Wash your own clothes too to avoid infection.
