Saurabh Banerjee, GR Jena, Ritu Gupta, Kanchan Walwadkar and Ankit Shukla
The clinical signs of alopecia, severe itching, erythema, and scabby, dry crusty lesions on both ear edges were noticed in a rabbit used in this investigation. Sarcoptes scabiei mites were found in skin scrapings. Ivermectin 400 mcg/kg b.wt. was given by injection subcutaneously once a week for three weeks as part of the treatment. Zincovit drops (10 drops twice daily) and Tab. Cadistin (0.3-0.4 mg/kg BW) are used as supportive therapy. For early healing, oral medication was administered twice a day. Clinical examination showed that the lesions had significantly improved after three weeks, and mites were not found in the scrapings.
