Little is known about it at this point but its believed to be a combination of fungus, bacteria and possible mites and in December of 08 the CDC just recognized it as a disease (instead of delusions). There are other symptoms involved also. Please research that and see. I believe it is possible for animals to have it as well as some sufferers say their pets show symptoms. What about bird mites?

However, since you mentioned poison ivy, have you considered this as the cause of the itchiness and red bumps? I had a dog that would break out with bumps and get very itchy when exposed to poison oak or ivy. And for certain humans can be affected. Often when I graze against one of these plants, the bumps will form in a line. And the bumps do look a lot like scabies sometimes (usually if a severe rash develops or if the area is scratched a lot). I’m sorry your dog has ringworm!
