Demodekoz (the hypodermic tick) - a parasitic disease caused by the mite Demodex canis. Sick dogs, more rarely horses, to humans the disease is not contagious. Sometimes sick cats but they usually recover themselves without treatment (although in some cases treatment is still necessary. But cats can not be treated with ointments as they lick them and can get poisoned). This species of mite is difficult to study, so today there are different opinions:

  1. the disease is transmitted from sick dog through contact and through the objects of care;
  2. The disease is not contagious (because in healthy dogs ticks also there but in small amount) occurs due to the weakening of the immune system, vitamin deficiency and genetic causes.

More common in young, short-haired and purebred dogs. Incorrect, unbalanced diet too can cause demodicosis in dogs. Treatment of demodicosis should be accompanied by improved nutrition and vitamin supplements.

Symptoms

There are several forms of lesion:

  1. Scaly form manifested by the appearance of bald spots, usually round shape, with slight redness and the characteristic scaly scabs on the edges. Accompanied by aharonim smell (smell of rotten wool). The hair around the lesion dull and brittle;
  2. Pustular form is manifested by abscesses, especially noticeable on the abdomen, where there is no fur;
  3. In severe cases the disease can become generalised form, the dog loses weight, may become completely bald. A sick dog is scratching and bite the affected area which there is a threat of sepsis.

To the underlying disease often with fungal infections. Often other infectious or helminth diseases also provoke demodicosis in dogs. Treatment of demodicosis, in this case, should be done very carefully, in infectious disease to better manage external funds, also suitable imunostimulyatorov and immunomodulatory.

Treatment

How to treat demodicosis in dogs? Sometimes seeing paulesu and the scabs a dog, some “friends” I advise the owners to get rid of it (and if a homeless dog, and just shoot) arguing that it cannot be cured, and it can infect humans. This is not so. First, as mentioned above, canine subcutaneous mites cannot be transmitted (on people other parasitic mite, itch, dogs he doesn't infect). Second, in the 50-ies of the last century, when it was identified demodicosis in dogs treatment, indeed, was not successful. But since then the company has developed new tools and methods, and today the disease is very treatable. If it's small bleszinki in a young, otherwise healthy dogs (juvenile demodicosis in dogs), treatment may not be required. Often a small lesion at this age and can pass on their own. But still, better a timely appeal to the vet because the disease running to cure hard (but don't despair, against any form of demodectic mange can be cured with the help of modern means).  it is Advisable to do the analysis, because the symptoms of demodectic mange can be confused with, for example, ringworm or allergies. Similar symptoms is another disease, ringworm in dogs.

For treatment using drugs containing ivermectin, subcutaneously or orally (in the mouth), strictly following the dosage weight and following the instructions. These drugs, in addition to subcutaneous mite, destroy and other external parasites (fleas, wood ticks, etc.) and many kinds of worms. As these drugs are quite toxic, it is desirable to simultaneously provide hepatoprotection (liver protecting). Please note: ivermectin not treat dogs of breeds collie, sheltie, Bobtail and their hybrids. For outdoor applications an effective means of containing Amit. Applying them, the dog should wear a muzzle (not licked) for 20 minutes. It also helps the ointment "Apit" (especially if joined by a fungal infection). If there is a suspicion for demodicosis in dogs (even if the diagnosis is not clarified), the treatment can begin with this ointment, it is well relieves inflammation and is virtually harmless.

Well additionally use imunostimulyatorov and vitamins. For example, fosprenil, Maximin, Hammamet  (they are usually prescribe all together) or other similar means.
