Two unrelated adult dogs presenting with chronic pruritic dermatitis were diagnosed with sarcoptic mange through the in vivo dermoscopic visualisation of Sarcoptes scabiei mites. The species of mite was confirmed via microscopy of superficial skin scrapings taken from lesional skin. Dermoscopy offers rapid point-of-care, noninvasive screening for dogs with sarcoptic mange.
