2. If the mites are already severe, be prepared for long-term treatment. The red spots spread quickly at first, then suppuration, bleeding, scabs, and pigmentation.

4. Be sure to pay attention to the daily hygiene of the dog, keep the kennel clean, do not let the dog come into contact with the same kind of disease, and try to take the dog to unclean grass as little as possible, especially in the spring when the incidence of infectious diseases is high. During the season, it is even more important to do a good job in disinfection and hygiene. According to doctors at the pet hospital, mites are actually found on every dog. It’s just that under the right conditions, the mites multiply and break out, causing the dog to get sick.
