Yes, it is very possible for a dog to die of mange.There is 3 different types of mange. Mange is caused by a microscopic organism that gets into the skin. One is fairly easy to treat while he the other two are not and can be life threatening.Please take your poor dog to a vet ASAP.ADD:No, there are three kinds of mange, not two.Demodectic MangeDemodectic mange is caused by Demodex canis, a tiny mite that cannot be seen without the aid of a microscope. This mange strikes puppies from three to 12 months old.Cheyletiella mangeCheyletiella mange is also known as walking dandruff. It affects puppies and is caused by a large reddish mite that can be seen under a magnifying glass. This mange is identified by the dandruff dusting that occurs over the dog's head, neck, and back.Sarcoptic mangeSarcoptic mange, also known as scabies, is caused by a microscopic mite. The female mite causes the characteristic intense itching as they burrow under the skin to lay their eggs. The eggs hatch in a few days, develop into adults, and begin laying their own eggs in less than three weeks.Dogs with scabies dig and bite at themselves with great ferocity. Their skin reacts with oozing sores, and secondary infection may set in, requiring treatment with an antibiotic in addition to treatment for the mites. Unfortunately, the sarcoptic mange mite can be difficult to find in skin scrapings, and unless the veterinarian parts the hair and carefully examines the bare skin for the characteristic pin-point bite marks, diagnosis is difficult. Furthermore, the presence of a secondary skin infection can hamper the search for the mite bite marks.Telltale signs of sarcoptic mange are crusty ear tips, fierce itching, and hair loss, particularly on the ears, elbows, legs, and face in the early stages. Later on, the hair loss spreads throughout the body.Sarcoptic mange is contagious to canines and humans. If the dogs share sleeping places or if the infected dog sleeps on beds or furniture, everyone will begin scratching. It is not unheard of for the family dog to infest the kids, the kids to infest their playmates, and the playmates to infest their pets and parents with scabies. Fortunately scabies in humans is self-limiting, that is the mite can burrow under the skin and cause itching, but cannot complete its life cycle on humans and dies within a few weeks.

They can, either by secondary infection, or because the itching is so bad the animals becomes so debilitated it dies.Sarcoptic and demodectic are the most common. The chylitelia is easy to treat and is referred to as "walking dandruff" as that is what it looks like. That is easily treated topically with shampoo and is not really common. Sarcoptic mange is fairly easy to treat and is contagious to other dogs. Demodectic is harder to treat and puppies with it are born with it. It can be a life long battle for the dog.

take it to a vet and hurry!!!!!!!!!

YES. and people can get it from your dogs. please take your dog to the vet before it is to late!!!!

First off there are 2 different kinds of mange. One is contagious and picked up from other dogs. It is curable!!!! The second is Demodex. This is passed from mother to baby and is not curable but treatable. The best line of defense against a dog with mange is to have is fixed asap. Your vet can do a skin scrape to figure out which of the 2 apply to your dog. But whatever you do and no matter what you hear, DO NOT WASH YOUR DOG IN BURNT OR USED MOTER OIL. This will do nothing for your dog but make things worse. It could also kill your dog as it steep through its skin. There are prescriptions that you can get to give to your dog or wash her in.
