will mites make a dog hair fall out and stink and make his skin red raw?

Answer 1

yes. Chiggers are a more common problem. This can be solved with an ointment from petsmart.

Answer 2

My co-worker has a dog that was just diagnosed with a thyroid problem. He has been lossing his hair, has a read bad odor and has patches of raw skin as well. Plus he is quite overweight but doens't really over eat. Perhaps this is also your dogs condition. Good Luck.

Answer 3

It could be a lot of things ranging from allergies to mange to ring worm. I would suggest taking it to the vet. They can run some simple test (skin scrape) to see what is going on with you dog. If any one in your family is itching I would definitely take it in because ring worm and one type of mange (sarcoptic) is transmittable to humans and can make you itchy. Good luck

Answer 4

mites, fleas, larvae... take the dog to the vet.. the dog may have flea allergies... the vet gives the animal an allergy shot... the smell would go away when rash clears (caused by the dog biting itself) the vet will give the dog cream for the dogs rash... don't hesitate... take the animal to the vet

Answer 5

That sounds like skin allergies. You need to see a vet. He may need allergy shots or some other treatment to prevent this from getting worse.

Answer 6

A lot of things will do that including mange you need a vets opinion, I would see yours as soon as possible.

Answer 7

yes it can. so can other things. please don't listen to the previous post-er and buy some ointment from petsmart. it could be allergies, demodex (a congenital mange), sarcoptic mange (contagious to people and other pets), thyroid conditions...the list goes on. your dog will likely get a secondary skin infection, if he doesn't already, and will need antibiotics to prevent/treat that. please see your vet.

Answer 8

Go to the vet!
