Efficacy of Ivermectin against Cheyletiella yasguri Infestation in Dogs.
Twenty adult dogs (11 Cocker spaniels and 9 miniature Poodles) with naturally occurring cheyletiellosis were treated twice, at a three-week interval, with subcutaneous injections of ivermectin at the dose rate of 300 mug/kg. Ivermectin proved to be very effective against Cheyletiella yasguri infestation in dogs. All treated animals were completely cured after one or two treatments. No adverse reactions were noted. Ivermectin should be avoided in Collies and Collie crosses.
