Case 16 is the same dog as in Case 15. Cytology revealed keratinocytes and occasional cocci. A deep skin scraping showed mites (see image).
Question | Answer | Article | |
What is the prognosis for the disease in this dog? | As only two small areas on the dogs’ body are affected (localized demodicosis), the prognosis is very good, because 95% of affected dogs have spontaneous remission. Dogs that develop generalized infections require specific miticidal therapy. Neutering is also recommended for dogs with generalized infections to prevent the breeding of susceptible animals.
