Description

Notoedres cati, a causative parasite in cats with scabies, is transmitted easily between feline species by contact with affected cats. This mite is also known to infest occasionally to canine species, although the mites belonging to Sarcoptidae generally show high level of host specificity. We experienced a 10-year-old, male maltese, which lived with a cat with scabies, having numerous mites and eggs characteristic to Notoedres cati on its skin surface. The dog was treated by injection with ivermectin subcutaneously and bathing with amitraz, but the dog required 3 months to obtain recovery of clinical signs and negative skin scraping for mange.<br>
