Mange can affect dogs of any age, gender, or breed. Younger dogs tend to recover quickly from a mange infection. Long-term treatment may be necessary for older dogs. The symptoms of mange can range from very mild to very severe. From a few patches of hair loss to severe itching and bacterial skin infections.
Most dogs have no long-lasting effects after a mange infection. Sometimes the hair can take a while to grow back, but the other symptoms tend to clear quickly.
