How long is sarcoptic (scabies) mange contagious for after treatment has begun?

Question

Can't seem to find an answer to this on the net. Any idea? 3 weeks? 30 days??

Answer 1

I would consider it contagious until the treatment is over.  At the shelter we work in, we usually treat the dogs for 6 weeks and then perform another skin scraping to make sure that it is negative.
