Two forms of mange are common in dogs. They are sarcoptic mange, caused by Sarcoptes scabei and demodectic mange caused by Demodex canis. Cats can also become infected with sarcoptic mange. But the form that is most common in cats is Notoedric mange. (ref) Sarcoptic mange is sometimes called scabies.
Mange is a skin disease caused by mites that affects many animals. In dogs, it is caused by one of three microscopic mites: Cheyletiella, Demodex, or Sarcoptes. Each one causes a different type of mange, with each presenting with similar yet varying degrees of symptoms. When the mange is present in large patches or all over the dog's body, this is known as generalized demodectic mange. 2  This type of mange produces bald, scaly patches of skin, which can be very itchy. 3  When the dog scratches, sores can form which are susceptible to unpleasant-smelling bacterial infections.
