    Bugs
    I have little reddish spider things on my dog and all of them are itching seriously. The bus are smSll spider type looking bugs. I've seen them on me. Going into her ears and they migrate around her vaginal area but there black there. They seem dead but now it's all over her tummy. I put alcohol diluted on her back but careful I diden't want all that alcohol absorbing in her. She looks fine but she's been eating her fecies ? There red when you squash them. Or an orange color. Can anyone help ? Please

    We really can't diagnose online. Could be fleas, could be mites, could be something else indigenous to your region.

    Do not, I repeat, DO NOT put alcohol on her!

    You're going to need to take her to the vet for the proper diagnosis and treatment.

    Sound like spider mites or clover mites but they attack plants. Could be poultry mites but they typically infest chickens. If you Google "red colored mites" you can see a lot of pictures and may be able to match one. They are the only thing I can think of that are red.
