1 Head Lice Bites: Itchy, Red Bumps Lice bites appear as little red bumps on the scalp, head, and shoulders, and cause the skin to become inflamed and intensely itchy. 2  If you scratch your lice bites, it may cause them to become infected.
There are two types of lice, i.e. biting or chewing lice and blood sucking lice. Both can infest dogs and cause discomfort, skin irritation and other related integumentary (related to skin) symptoms. These are host specific, i.e. cannot be transmitted to animals other than dogs, and are not harmful to people. Canine lice cause the coat to feel scruffy and dry, and cause symptoms such as hair loss and severe itching. In cases of severe infestation, blood sucking canine lice can cause anemia, especially in puppies. Diagnosis is based on clinical examination, where dog lice can be isolated from the hair, and eggs can be examined under microscope. Getting rid of dog lice is accomplished with sprays, dips and bathes.
