Hello!
This may be a silly question, but I couldn’t find a straight answer online.
My rats currently have mites (we’re waiting for some medicine we ordered to arrive). We also have two dogs, and recently we’ve noticed that both of the dogs have developed an itching problem. They have little scabs on their backs where they can reach and scratch themselves. It looks similar to what the rats have. So, we were wondering, can rat mites infest dogs?
