Abstract:
A six month old female Pomeranian dog was presented to the department of veterinary clinical complex, veterinary college, Bidar with the history of severe itching and alopecia all over the body. Clinical examination revealed crusty lesions over the margins of the ear pinnae, allopathic patches over chest, ventral abdomen and mild crusty lesions with alopecia over elbow region. Deep skin scraping examination showed the presence of Sarcoptesscabiei var canis mite. The affected dog was treated with injection ivermectin @ 200 μg/kg BW S/C at weekly interval for five weeks along with supportive therapy. Five weeks post treatment skin scraping examination showed absence of mites and the dog recovered uneventfully.
