Tests and Vet Procedures<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the veterinarian suspects that your dog\u2019s itching can be something more than dry skin or allergies, the vet will recommend a skin scraping test.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A skin scraping test is a non-invasive testing method that takes samples from the skin of a dog. The sample is processed and examined under a microscope.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The veterinarian will also recommend testing your dog\u2019s skin and blood samples for the evidence of secondary bacterial or fungal infections.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes, skin scraping can result in a little bit of bleeding or scarring. Speak to your veterinarian if your dog shows excess discomfort after the skin scraping test.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additional diagnostic methods for dog scabies diagnosis include superficial skin biopsy and response-to-treatment confirmation when mites are not detected initially.
