Abstract
A 3-year-old, male, mongrel dog was presented with pruritus, alopecia to the Veterinary medical Teaching Hospital, College of Veterinary Medicine of Kyungpook National University. On physical examination, generalized erythema, papules, scales and crusts were observed. The canine scabies infestation was diagnosed by deep skin scraping and Malassezia spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were found on skin cytology. He was treated with selamectin at 6 mg/kg applied to the skin in a single spot every two weeks for one month in order to investigate the effect of selamectin on canine scabies and was treated with amoxicillin trihydrate/clavulanate pattassium, ketoconazole and chlorhexidine shampoo for Malassezia sup. and Staphylococcus spp. simultaneously. When he was rechecked after 7, 14, 21, and 28 days after the first application of selamectin, scabies werent seen. The dermatological signs including pruritus, papules, scales, and crusts were remarkably resolved at 14 days. The alopecia was almost disappeared and few Malassezia spp. and Staphylococcus spp. were seen after 28 days. The efficacy of selamectin by this protocol is excellent in the dog infestated canine scabies.
