How easily is it spread?



Sure hope the below doesn’t end up like the above traveling the same area.

mange is caused by mites

it spreads almost as easily as fleas , through direct contact or surface contact.

why you shouldn't take your dog to any park , shelter, boarder or groomer unless they are on a regular treatment to stop the mites and fleas.

Typical means of transfer is social contact, breeding and occupying a den that has had fox or a litter in the past where the mites are still present.

Close contact-overpopulation.

Had the lowest % of mange this year in my area I can recall.

Been trapping nuisance ground hogs for a client....caught one that looked like that ate up fox Hobbie posted....haven't seen one that bad EVER.
Got me itchin'

I have caught one fox with mange only surprising. Coyote on the other hand many. We don't ever see many fox in this area with mange.

Tree fell on my camera. lol

My God. You need to sit out there and shoot that poor thing.

I have never seen a case of mange in my life.

Mange is rare in beavers.

LOL

What beavers lack in mange mites they make up in fleas.

Yes, have caught beaver with flees.
