Question

I have wild bunnies in my yard could they get it from them?

Answer 1

Depends on what type of mange. Demodex mange is contacted from the mother after birth and is not contagious at all. Sarcoptic mange is very contagioius and they can get it from other dogs and cats, rarely other animals. Demodex is not usually itchy, and starts on the face. Sarcoptic is very itchy and starts on the ears.

Sarcoptic mange can infect all ages and breeds of dogs. While it prefers to live on dogs, this particular mite will also infect cats, humans, and foxes. Cats, foxes, and humans all have their own particular species of mite within the Sarcoptes family. Each species of mite prefers one specific kind of host (e.g.; dog), but may also infect others. Since all of these species of mites have a similar life cycle and respond to the same treatment, we will assume that the vast majority of dog infections are caused by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei and treat accordingly.http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cls=2&cat=1589&articleid=764

Ear mange is common among dogs, cats and rabbits. The mites do not burrow in the skin but live deep in the ear canal and feed on skin. The resulting irritation causes the ear canal to become congested. The affected animal rubs its ears and shakes its head to relieve the itching.

Notoedric mange: scaly skin disease that usually starts on the ears but spreads to the rest of the face and body unless treated. This type of mange can be spread between cats, dogs, rabbits and humans.
