Are we still talking dogs, or people? I haven't heard of grunge in dogs, but there's mange. Is that what you mean, do you suppose?

I think you might meen mange.
Mange is a catch-all term for various skin conditions that include scabies or sarcoptic mange, demodectic or "red" mange and cheyletiella mange in dogs. They are each caused by a different mite.
The diagnosis of mange is made by skin scrapings or a skin biopsy of the patches of baldness. It cannot be made simply by observation, because it resembles other skin conditions like ringworm, demodectic mange, and allergies, which require different treatment.
To treat it, your vet will have to apply weekly injections of Ivermectin for up to four weeks.
