My dog has mange. When can I stop wearing gloves and isolating her?

Question

My dog has sarcastic mange and was treated with Revolution 10 days ago. How long do I need to handle her with gloves and keep her isolated? I also go the mites and I have been treated but I dont want it again! Im also trying to keep her away from my other dog who has also been preventatively treated. Pet's info: Dog | Maltipoo | Female | unspayed | 1 month and 16 days old | 2 lbs

It's difficult to say for certain, since eggs may continue to hatch and the new adult mites could be contagious. At this point it is probably unlikely that there are adults that would be contagious so if your other dog has been treated preventatively I would think it is safe for them to be together. To be safe it would probably be best for you to wear gloves until Waffles's treatment is complete.
