| Abstract;Seven clinical cases of regular scabies involving Sarcoptes scabiei var. canis infestation in dogs were treated with selamectin (6.0-11.0 mg/kg) administered topically in a single spot to the skin of each animal's back at the base of the neck between the scapulae. All of the cases were free from pruritus, skin lesions and sarcoptic mange after treatment. During a follow-up period of approximately 12 months after treatment, no dog presented with a recurrence of scabies. No significant adverse reactions were noticed in any of the dogs. The results in this report suggest that a single dose topical administration of selamectin at the recommended dosage is sufficient to control canine regular scabies. (author abst.) |
