Thank you for submitting your question regarding Birch. I recommend that he sees a veterinarian. There are actually several different types of mange caused by different mites. Each requires a different course of treatment. He will likely need skin scrapes to look for mites under the microscope. There are a variety of other skin problems that can affect young puppies as well. It is important to have him properly diagnosed and treated. I hope this information helps!
