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.
1 Demodectic mange -- also known as demodex or red mange -- is caused by mites that are transferred from mother to puppy during the first few days of life. 2  These mites are present in all dogs and usually won't cause any problems. 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.
