answered a question Dog appears to have mange, how to proceed??

Thanks all! The owner was very receptive in coming to pick up his dog right away. Hopefully he takes him to the vet ASAP! Thankfully there were/are no other dogs in the house, only cats (my own) who are on preventative flea/tick/mite medication. I will be cleaning the house top to bottom all weekend. Thanks again for all your prompt responses. Much appreciated!

asked a question Dog appears to have mange, how to proceed??

Hello all, I am still somewhat new to Rover. A few days ago I took in a new client (very large dog), when he was dropped off he had just had a bath and was covered in baby powder. I noticed some bald patches and asked about it, to which I wan't offered a real answer but assumed it was something just related to him being an old dog. Fast forward a couple days, the baby powder is wearing off and I can see irritated patches of skin all over his whole body. Parts of it even look bloody. I don't know much about skin diseases but he is scratching a lot and I am assuming it could be mange. I called the owner who said he will come by to take him to the vet tomorrow. How do you all think I should proceed in the meantime? I am concerned because I have other pets living in our home. Any advice much appreciated.
