MANAGEMENT OF SCABIOSIS WITH ANCYLOSTOMIOSIS IN LOCAL BREED PUPPY

Abstract

Parasitic disease is the most common problem found in dogs, caused by endoparasites and ectoparasites. Sarcoptes scabiei is one of the ectoparasites that can infect dogs and is zoonotic. Hookworm infection in dogs is one of the endoparasites and also zoonotic. The purpose of this case report is to find out the effectiveness of the treatment used in treating scabiosis and ancylostomyosis in puppies. A case dog named Selen with a local breed, female, itching with a level of pruritus 8/10, hair loss around the eyes, ears, neck, dorsal, cranial and caudal extremities, tail, and caudal parts. Crusts on the ears, several spots on the front and back extremities, and erythema on the neck and back. Observed blood spots in the stool which had a mushy consistency fecal scoring 5/7. The physical examination was continued with a skin examination which was carried out using the skin scraping method which showed Sarcoptes scabiei agents, stool examination using the floating method showed the presence of Ancylostoma sp.’s egg and a Complete Blood Count showed that the dog had hypochromic normocytic anemia, lymphocytosis, granulocytosis, thrombocytosis, and eosinophilia. Treatment is carried out with causative treatment, anthelmintic pyrantel pamoate (Cazitel®) and antiparasitic sarolaner (Simparica®), symptomatic treatment of antihistamine Chlorpheniramine Maleate, metronidazole antibiotics, and vitamin B complex as supportive therapy (Livron®). On evaluation day 14, the rate of pruritus decreased to 2/10. In the previously alopecia, crusting, and erythema began to show improvement. Stool no longer contains blood spots with a solid consistency fecal scoring 2/7.
