Abstract

Currently, management and treatment of demodicosis is based on a range of antiparasitic drugs. The study aimed to compare the therapeutic efficacy of three regimens of treatment with modern insecticidal drugs for canine demodicosis. Fifteen dogs of different breeds were studied. The diagnosis of demodicosis was made on the basis of anamnestic data, clinical signs and laboratory tests. For the treatment of demodicosis, the dogs were divided into three groups (five dogs each) and prescribed treatment according to three different schemes. The first group was given an etiotropic agent “Aversect K&C”, the second group was given “Closantin”, the third group was given “Frontline NeksgarD”. The study revealed that all of the three antiparasitic drug treatment regimens, particularly in combination with immunomodulators (in the first two patterns), showed a good therapeutic effect in managing canine demodicosis. The first treatment regimen was the most effective: all dogs of group one recovered on the 56th day of the observed period. In addition, the dogs did not require additional supportive therapy.
