Do you mean mange? You need to take you dog to the vet. for proper diagnosis. There are 2 types of mange, sarcoptic and demodetic, they are both serious. The treatments and prognosis are different, Your vet will need to do a skin scraping and look under the microscope to determine the type. If your dog does have mange the treatment will likely involve prescription baths to kill the mites. DON'T try to treat this yourself, your pet do not deserve to suffer.
For more information just go on line and there many sites that will give you more information on this.

Dogs don't generally have lice..are you sure it's not fleas?? I would take the dog to the vet to make sure you are seeing waht you think you are and get proper, safe treatment.

dog flea shampoo and lots of flea spray afterwards if you get adamspray which can be found at winn-dixie, and practically bath them in it then you can watch the ''lice'' fall off of them also safe on humans..... but after they dry give them another bath no dog shampoo
