$23 : What can you do to treat mites on a dog?

Yes, that would be scabies, or sarcoptic mange. I presume that he has hair loss with intense itching and if so there are a few options to treat this.

You can use a product sold at any veterinary clinic, "ProMeris", which is a topical application to treat fleas. This will also treat mange and you can buy a six pack of this and apply it once every two weeks for six doses. By the way, ProMeris will also cure demodectic mange at the same dose but sometimes you have to treat a bit longer than you do to cure scabies.

Let me know if you have more questions about this,
