Jessica, that is an EXCELLENT point....I didn't even think of her possibly being a collie or sheltie mix....and you are absolutely correct that she does look like there could be some collie or sheltie in there.

As for the steroids, I was under the impression that a steroid type skin spray could be used once the other dips were completed to help with the itching, but I could very well be mistaken there as well. It has been years since I have even seen a case, and they may have gotten smarter with the treament since then.

I'm going to guess it's demodectic mange, I believe sarcoptic usually becomes first evident more on the extremities? But then, I was wrong about everything else I said here...LOL.
