We bought a miniature Jack Russell on Saturday and after taking her to the vet, we found out that she has mange.
What can we do to stop her itching and biting herself?
Please Help.

Hi Marie,
This is Taylor, Ask A Pet Pro’s blog administrator. Sorry to hear about your new one’s problems.
Have you had your pup checked by a vet yet for the cause of the itching? There can be several reasons for the itching, including a yeast infection, and one of those is caused by mites that create a condition called demodectic mange. Here is a picture of that:

I’d rule that out first as the treatment will differ from treatment for a yeast infection.
Here are some links for more information on demodectic mange:

Let’s see what advice our pro’s may have for you as regards to yeast.
