I am a little behind on reading my posts..lol... I have had two stray dogs with litters that have had scabbies...My vet recommended Revolution..I used it and within a weeks time the scratching had slowed way down and stopped completly in the next half week...So far one dose worked to curry both mom's and their pups...According to the vet we can contract the scabbies from the animals but we are not a perfect host so they will not stick around long...So far I have not gotten any and I roll around with the pups and they have evn slept in my bed numerous times...The scratching does cause skin infections for the dogs so they also had to be put on antibiotics...My vet told me a sure sign of scabbies is when the dogs are scratching and they will not be distracted for any reason...This is a very itchy mite...He said most dogs that have itches will not scratch at a vets office so when he sees one up on his table itching he will almost gaurentee it has the scabbies mite.. Hope my story helps you some, Dianne
