ANCYLOSTOMYOSIS WITH SCABIOSIS IN A 3-MONTH-OLD CAT

Abstract

Cats are frequently affected by the diseases scabiosis and ankylostomyosis. The worm Ancylostoma sp, which is typically found in cats' small intestines, causes ankylostomyosis, whereas the zoonotic mite Sarcoptes scabiei causes scabiosis. In this paper, we will go through how to treat ankylostomyosis and scabiosis in three-month-old cats. A three-month-old male neighborhood cat that weighs 1.07 kg has been complaining for two weeks now that his ears and neck have been scratched frequently. He also has scabs on his ears and legs, diarrhea, an enlarged stomach, and is underweight and weak. Upon skin inspection, it was discovered that the patient had high intensity pruritus, papules, alopecia, crusts on the ears, dull hair, and pale-looking oral mucosa, conjunctiva, and anus. During the digestive examination, the abdomen was found to be swollen when palpated, with increased peristaltic noises and a fecal score of 6/7. Ancylostoma sp. eggs and S. scabiei mites were discovered after feces and skin scrapings were examined. Leukocytosis, monocytosis, granulocytosis, normochromic normocytic anemia, and thrombocytopenia were all detected in blood tests. treatment for causes using the antiectoparasites ivermectin and pyrantel pamoate. B-complex supportive therapy, bathing with sulfur shampoo, and enhanced feed management are all forms of symptomatic treatment using the antihistamine Chlorpheniramine Maleate. Examining skin scrapings following treatment revealed no S. scabiei mites, inspecting stools revealed no Ancylostoma sp. worm eggs, and repeating blood hematology tests revealed normal outcomes. The cat made good progress after three weeks of therapy and treatment, including the removal of scabs on both ears, the absence of pruritis, hair growth, the absence of stomach distention, and normal feces. In order to draw the conclusion that administering ivermectine for the treatment of scabiosis and pyrantel pamoate for the treatment of ankylostomyosis has proven to be successful in treating both conditions. Cats' activity should be restricted in order to prevent them from coming into touch with cats that appear to have clinical indications of mite infection (Sarcopttes sp.), which can cause ankylostomyosis and scabiosis.
