I hope you can help diagnose the disease these poor dogs have got, which has left them skinny and hairless/scabby of skin. It has spread among them in one village I have noted, and most of them were healthy last year.
So please, what do you think? and is there an easy medication that could help them recover? Or are they doomed? Thanks

looks like mange to me! one of the photos caught the chap scratching. the hair loss over the back could be due to intense flea allergy.
do keep an eye out for ticks as there are certain parasites transmitted thru ticks that can cause chronic ill health and weight loss. |

| Get the help of the nearest JPH (DVS) clinic - government clinic - to visit this village. After all, thats what they're there for. |
