Hello,
Similar to scabies mite of dogs not surviving on humans, human scabies mite also cannot survive on dogs.

It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
