Could she get or have scabies, what should I do? She is a 20lb. Mix of what I don't know. Pet's info: Dog | Pomeranian | 2 years and 10 months old

Usually these episodes are related to diet or gastrointestinal inflammation/infection. Scabies usually is not related to it. I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice more diarrhoea, vomiting, lethargy or inappetence. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.
