Hide your puppies, it’s...

Demodectic MANGE! From your friendly mite, Demodex! 

Fun facts:

Demodex is NOT contagious to other dogs or people. This isn’t sarcoptic  mange, thank goodness. 

Demodex looks like a little cigar, in my opinion. 

This little mite can cause MASSIVE amounts of damage, including widespread crusting, alopecia (hair loss), and secondary bacterial infections. 

Teeny tiny mite with a big attitude.
