Sažetak
During the period 1993-2003, generalized demodicosis was diagnosed in 517 dogs. Two hundred and sixty-five (51.2%) dogs were cured with amitraz 0.025% solution, 199 (38.5%) were cured after amitraz 0.05% solution was introduced, and in 53 dogs (10.3%) mites were amitraz resistant. Among amitraz-resistent dogs, 48 were introduced to 600 μg kg-1 oral ivermectin protocol, and 45 (89.6%) of this number were successfully cured. Outcome data were lacking or were insufficient for 5 (10.4%) dogs. No ivermectin resistance was recorded. According to the data of our retrospective therapy evaluation, we anticipate an increase in cases of amitraz-resistant generalized canine demodicosis.
