Abstract

The objective of this study is to know the formula in making Aloe vera gel cream with VCO to create a scabies medicine and know which treatment gives the fastest healing effect of scabies in domestic cats in Mojokerto. The first step is to extract Aloe vera by infundation method, phytochemical identification test, making Aloe vera cream, testing the washing power of the cream, and testing the effect of Aloe vera gel cream on 32 cats suffering from scabies in Mojokerto, then the skin of cats suffering from scabies scraped and observed under a microscope to observe the ectoparasites that cause scabies in cats. Cats were divided into 4 treatments namely A, B, C, and D. The results of this study indicated skin scrapping on 32 cats scabies in Mojokerto, exist 26 cats that were positive for Notoedres cati, 2 cats positive for Sarcoptes scabieiand 4 cats are negative. Formulas used for the manufacture of creams included stearic acid, triethanolamine, adeps lanae, paraffin liquid, VCO, nipagin, nipasol, aquades, and Aloe vera. The results of the three groups of cream formulas B, C, D caused a significant cure in cats suffering from scabies compared to control group A.

Summary

Introduction

Scabies in cats is a highly contagious disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans, and vice versa that caused by a tiny mite named Notoedres cati and Sarcoptes scabiei [1]. Scabies burrow in the skin and cause a crusty dermatose, primarily in sparsely hairy areas, including the head, neck, axillae, groin and tail [2]. Scabies in cats must be treated to prevent thickening and skin folding accompanied by the appearance of crust. The progress of modern science that is increasingly rapid and sophisticated today should not rule out natural medicine [4,5,6]. There is still a lack of knowledge and information about various types of plants that could be used as natural medicines for certain treatments that can be developed into a formulation [7,8,9]. Aloe vera plant belonging to the family Liliaceae, has some considerable potential as a raw material for natural medicine. Aloe vera plant originating from Africa has more than 360 species. Species of the commercial genus Aloe include Aloe barbadansis, Aloe perryl and Aloe ferox
