Explain the symptoms, risks, and dangers of sarcopic mange in pets. Also, provide a warning to pet owners who have rabbits to ensure their pets' safety.
From all the moronic comments here I gather none of you have any first hand experience with sarcopic mange. Truthfully I hadn't either, so let me fill you in on what you've been missing. First your beloved pet breaks out with silver dollar size intensely itching oozing sores as the tiny near invisible mites burrow into your friend's skin to lay their eggs. Their fur is soon gone from the crusty oozing sores as you watch new sores begin to appear all over your pet's skin. They're miserable from the intense itching. Untreated the animal will lose most of it's coat and become very susceptible to respiratory infections. Really funny stuff. Right? It's highly, highly contagious. Domestic rabbits differ from their wild cousins in that they are much more social and will huddle together, making the parasite's infection spread that much easier. If you love your pets do not let them share space with feral rabbits. Happy New Year.
