Expert Answer

Dog scabies generally needs 1 to 2 months to cure. Scabies mites are common parasites causing hair loss, rash, dermatitis, and itching, with frequent scratching and a foul odor when severe. Treatment is long, needing prolonged subcutaneous avermectin injections. During treatment, isolate the dog and fully disinfect its former environment. Monthly external prevention is advised to avoid scabies.
