Abstract

Scabiosis is a contagious and zoonotic skin disease. Dogs with scabiosis experience intense itching. A 5-month-old mix terrier with a body weight of 2.7 kg had alopecia, intense itching, crusts, erythema, and open wounds on some parts of the body. Skin scrapings revealed Sarcoptes scabei (S. scabei) mites. An impression smear examination was performed on the open wound and found neutrophil cell infiltration and some coccus bacteria. Due to the dirty ear, otic swab examination and cerumen cytology were performed. On otic swab examination, Otodectes cynotis mite (O. cynotis) was found and on cerumen cytology examination, Malassezia sp. On fecal examination with the native method, Toxocara canis eggs (T. canis) were found. The causative therapy given is the use of ivermectin injection at a dose of 300 µg/kg subcutaneously (SC) given once, treatment of the wound using turmeric which is mashed and applied to the part that has erythema and wounds, and the use of natural aloe vera is used to clean the cerumen in the ear, for the treatment of T. canis infestation is using pyrantel pamoate at a dose of 25 mg / kg. Symptomatic treatment for itching uses chlorpheniramine maleate (CTM). Other therapies were assisted by using sulfur-containing shampoo twice a week after ivermectin administration, then virgin coconut oil (VCO) and vitamins, namely Neurotropic injection once and then continued with oral Livron B plex vitamins for 14 days. Evaluation at 26 days showed skin healing, improved wounds, and fine hair growth. Itching in the dog was still observed but the intensity was reduced, the ears of the case dog were also clear of cerumen, and the feces examination of the case dog did not find worm eggs.
