You first need to keep them away from your other dogs. Wash all their bedding and anytime anyone handles them they need to wash their hands and change clothes. Second they should be on antibiotics for then skin infection that occurs due to them scratching all the time. As far as the itch it takes a while for that to go away. Those mites make them itch like crazy. You could also call your vet and see if they have any other suggestions as to what else you can use for the itch.
