Generalized demodicosis in a cat responsive to amitraz.
Generalized demodicosis was diagnosed in a 14-year-old castrated male domestic short-hair cat. No underlying disease was detected. The cat responded incompletely or poorly to commonly recommended treatment, but responded well to total body dipping with 0.0125% amitraz at weekly intervals.
