| Abstrakt: | Two female South American coatis ( Nasua nasua ) kept in a zoo in Southern Germany presented with pruritus and moderate hair loss at the dorsal trunk, thigh areas and alongside the tail. Otherwise the animals showed no clinical signs. While the clinical general examination as well as cytology of dermatologic samples showed no pathologic changes, Chorioptes sp. mites could be identified in a superficial skin scraping. Two consecutive topical applications of a selamectin/sarolaner spot-on formulation 4 weeks apart lead to a complete resolution. No side effects were observed. Competing Interests: Dr. Klinger has held presentations in cooperation with Zoetis staff, but never received funding from this company. Zoetis was not informed on this case or included in the choice of treatment. (Thieme. All rights reserved.) |
