Abstract
Otodectosis of various animal species is quite widespread in different climatic and geographical zones. Currently, there is a tendency towards otodectosis increase among small domestic animals. It is caused by various factors – a rise in the number of animals, lack of preventive treatments. The disease is highly contagious. In addition, there is a risk of developing serious complications such as meningitis, brain abscess, which can lead to animal death. In this regard, the problem of otodectosis therapy is an urgent issue. Presently, the market for antiparasitric medications is diverse. However, it should be noted that not all of them have a pronounced therapeutic effect and are safe for the animals. We tested the new medication Insakar Total K, developed by the employees of the All-Russian Research Institute of Fundamental and Applied Parasitology of Animals and Plants - a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Scientific Institution “Federal Research Center - All-Russian Research Institute of Experimental Veterinary Medicine of RAS (Moscow). The studies were carried out on cats of “Lapa pomoshchi” shelter for homeless animals at Ulyanovsk State Agrarian University. The aim of the study was to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of Insakar Total K and its effect on parameters of cats’ homeostasis. It was established that Insakar Total K has a pronounced therapeutic effect in otodectosis of cats. The application of this medication in according with the instructions ensures complete recovery of animals. The extensibility of Insakar Total K in otodectosis off cats was 100%. It was shown that the tested medication has no local toxic effect on the skin and mucous membranes. The effect of Insakar Total K on hematological and biochemical blood parameters of cats was evaluated. It was found that hematological and biochemical parameters of blood of animals remain within the physiological norm in case of application off this medication.
