-First of all, let's see some FAQs and information about scabies:

Severe case of scabies in stray dog
Yes, there is a risk, although it will not be as serious as for your dog. The symptoms will not be as severe as the scabies parasites cannot penetrate our skin deeply enough to cause more than a mild itch. To prevent that from happening, you will have to clean the dog's accessories (bed, toys, carpet ... etc.) very often (with latex gloves) and keep the dog in an isolated room until he recovers.
If you suspect that you are infected, see your doctor to prescribe some ointment or medicine.
-If we see that our dog has some of the above symptoms, let's see the steps ofhow we should act and how we should and can care for a dog with mange, Step by Step:
We should not believe that only home remedies will cure them. Home remedies help and make the dog heal sooner, but it is not the cure. They just speed up the healing process. We must take our dog to the vet as soon as possible to be diagnosed and see if it really is scabies, what type it is and how serious it is.
IMPORTANT: Once diagnosed will tell us which treatment will suit you best and We will have to follow it as it has indicated.
We must have it in a specific place (a room for example) for a small period of time so I can heal faster and we can clean and disinfect the rest of the house well. It should be a warm place, do not tie it outside the house or keep it in confined or cold spaces if it was winter.Once it's healed, let it be everywhere again (previously disinfected) and not allow you to enter that room until it has been thoroughly disinfected.
IMPORTANT: Remember disinfect everything well: floors, dog bed, collar, carpets…etc. And what you use while you improve. Bleach is highly recommended to disinfect the soil and there are special cleaning products to fight scabies.
Play with him, take him for a walk, give him his favorite toys, spend time with him in the room where you have him isolated, give him caresses, prizes ... We must keep you attended to so that you do not notice any rejection because of the disease. Also, a depressed dog recovers more slowly what a happy one.We must be understanding, loving and positive.
IMPORTANT: Ourselves too we must have a lot of hygiene and wear latex gloves when maintaining physical contact with him (and if we have to wash the dog)until it has healed.
Even if they have no symptoms yet. They may have been infected. Ask your vet if it is appropriate to treat others also at the same time to make sure that we will not go through the same thing again with any of our other pets. and become the whiting that bites its tail.
As we mentioned, there is no home remedy that cures scabies, but rather helps to improve or minimize its symptoms and discomfort. However,the opinion of a veterinarian would be necessary before starting any treatment or home remedy just in case. Between the most common home remedies to improve scabies are:
-Ask your vet about how to wash your dog, with what special shampoo and if you need to cut his hair to improve.
-Keep your dog away from other dogs to avoid infecting them. Advise other dog owners to be careful.
-Go to the vet frequently for checkups and to see if it is improving. Ask if he needs a change in eating habits to improve his coat during and after treatment.
-Any questions call or go to the vet. This article is merely informative and supplementary to the expert opinion of a veterinarian. We must not neglect our pet if we suspect you may have scabies or another disease.
