Expert Answer

A dog’s mite infection generally needs 4 to 8 weeks, with consistent medication and skin care during treatment. Infected dogs show hair loss and rashes, possibly mixed dermatitis. Fit an Elizabethan collar promptly to stop licking and worsening. Treat with mite medication; severe cases need medicated baths, and keep treating until fully cured, never stopping early to avoid relapse.
