Journal Title: International Journal of Veterinary Health Science & Research (IJVHSR) - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Notoedres cati associated with Malassezia was observed in a domestic cat. Cat exhibited crust formation,hyperkeratosis, alopecia, intense pruritus and seborrhoea over the ears, face, neck and ventral abdomen regions. Laboratory examination of samples revealed Notoedres cati mites in skin scrapings and Malassezia organisms in tape impression smears. Cat was treated with weekly thrice oral ivermectin @ 300 µg/kg body weight, supportive therapy and weekly twice bathing was advised with shampoo containing 2% miconazole and 2% chlorhexidine. Complete clinical recovery along with absence of mites in skin scrapings and absence of Malassezia organisms in impression smears were noticed after completion of six doses of oral ivermectin along with supportive therapy.
