How to treat scabies and ear mites in domestic Siamese cats
Ear mites, which first show symptoms from the tibia and auricle, are caused by ear mites, which are a type of scabies mites. Scabies is a combative infectious skin disease caused by scabies mites. Sick cats have severe itching and eczema-like changes in their skin. One species of cat is highly contagious.
The body of the scabies mite is nearly round or oval, with a raised back, and is milky white or light yellow. The size of female mites is 0.3~0.5×0.25~0.4mm; the size of male mites is 0.2~0.3×0.15~0.2mm. The jaw body is short and located at the front end; the chelicerae are like pincers with small teeth at the top, which are suitable for eating the cuticle structure of the host's skin. The pedipalps are divided into three sections. Eyeless and slow doors. There are horizontal wavy stripes and rows of scaly skin spines on the back of the body, and there are several pairs of rod-shaped bristles and long bristles on the back half of the body. The ventral surface is smooth, with only a few bristles and 4 pairs of feet. The legs are short and thick, divided into 5 segments, and are conical in shape. The distance between the first two pairs of feet and the rear two pairs of feet is large, and there are horny protrusions at the base of the feet. The ends of the first two pairs of legs of male and female mites both have claw pads with long handles, called ambulacra, which are part of the sensitive part; the ends of the last two pairs of legs are different between males and females, with females having long bristles, and The fourth pair of legs of the male has a suction pad at the end. The egg-laying hole of the female mite is located in the center in front of the second pair of legs, in the shape of a transverse crack; the external genitalia of the male mite is located slightly behind the fourth pair of legs. The anus of both species is located in the middle of the rear edge of the body.
This disease is a parasitic disease of combative infection, so contact with sick cats, sharing grooming and bathing tools between sick cats and healthy cats, and cross-contact between breeders are all causes of the disease.
Scabies mainly occurs on the head (the bridge of the nose, eye sockets, auricles and the base of the ears). Occasionally, it can also occur on the chest, abdomen, armpits, inner thighs and tail base. In severe cases, it can involve the whole body. The affected cat is extremely itchy and restless. It scratches the affected area with its forelimbs, bites the affected area with its mouth or rubs the affected area on nearby objects. The affected area is flushed, with small rash-like nodules, the subcutaneous tissue is thickened and scaly, and the affected area is often hairless. Severe scratching and biting can cause local infection and suppuration, resulting in otitis externa and local bleeding. Mite disease caused by ear mites or small ear mites first occurs in the ears. It is severe and itchy. The affected cat keeps shaking its ears and shaking its head. The ears are often scratched and bleeding, and they feel suppuration, resulting in abscess-type mites. sick. In order to distinguish it from alopecia areata and other diseases, it is best to scrape the skin scrapings from the junction between the affected part and the healthy part of the sick cat, and melt them with 10% caustic soda solution, and then the scabies mites can be observed under a low-magnification microscope.
Maintaining environmental hygiene and equipment hygiene is one of the most important prevention measures. Cats should not be allowed to roam freely, and sick cats should be isolated and treated immediately if they are found. Cats should be groomed and bathed on time, catteries and cat tools should be disinfected regularly, feeding and management should be strengthened, and the cat's physical fitness and disease resistance should be enhanced. First, cut the affected area of the sick cat and its surrounding area completely, soak and clean it with warm soapy water to remove dirt andOn the scab, apply 0.5% trichlorfon aqueous solution or ointment to the local area. When applying, rub vigorously to allow the medicine to penetrate into the skin. Repeat once every 5 to 7 days. Generally, it can be cured after 2 to 3 times. However, repeated use of medicine should not wipe more than 1/3 of the animal's body surface area to avoid poisoning. 0.1% phoxim emulsion, 0.1% methacrylate (dimethacrylate) solution and methacrylamide are all effective.
Because some intestinal parasites (such as roundworms) are eaten or spread by other organisms (such as fleas, mosquitoes, etc.), and kittens in the same litter like to lick each other, the kittens must be dewormed regularly. Adult cats use their breath as a guide for social contact and to meet friends, and they will inevitably use their tongues to contact the remaining secretions or excretions of other dogs on the grass. This will cause them to feel parasites. Therefore, adult cats should also be dewormed regularly.
Rare internal parasites include: roundworms, tapeworms, coccidia, hookworms, trichomonas, giardia, burnworm and heartworms, etc. External parasites mainly include: Demodex, scabies, ear itch mites, Fleas and lice etc.
It is recommended that you immediately eliminate the interference of parasites on the growth and development of kittens and prevent the outbreak of parasitic enteritis starting from 10 weeks of age. The selection of anthelmintic drugs should be very scientific. They are not exactly the same as human anthelmintic drugs, and the dosage is not wide, so you should choose a regular pet hospital and don't let "charlatans" affect your pet's health.
