chihuahua/ jack Russell mix's question about Flea-Borne Diseases

Question

With covid 19 hard to go see regular vet just paid a 400 bill on one pet. So I hope u can answer? She has had off and on Ill catch them after they must pop. But recently I thought were fleas now not thinking so other two dogs no signs. But maybe a coincidence but I have similar sores but no puss filled they itch and leave a whole been to doctor they say nothing there but my  psoriasis. I was trying to take the bug thing I thought were there she put under the scope said only skin cells I don't know . I'm maybe pulling at straws? Its at nightmare stage due to I wash her w/dawn I see them surface

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your question.  

Without seeing these sores and skin lesions, it is very difficult for me to comment, but Sarcoptes is one parasite that can affect people and make everyone itchy.   It does tend to be quite contagious, and is generally easy to treat if your dogs are on Nexgard or Bravecto.  Other than that, I can't think of any parasites that would cause the signs that you are describing... I hope that you and your veterinarian can get to the bottom of it!
