Due to the hot and humid climate, their prevalence is high in Puducherry, India. Case report: In this case report, concurrent infection of scabies and dermatophytosis was observed in a 2-month-old Chippiparai male pup presented to the Veterinary clinical complex, Mettupalayam, Puducherry, India. The clinical signs were intense scratching, crusty lesions, and an off odor. The temperature was 99.7℉, the heart rate was 85 beats per minute, the respiratory rate was 22 breaths per minute, and the appetite was normal. Regional examination of other organs revealed no abnormality. Ear canal examination did not reveal the presence of any ear mites. Dermatological examination revealed generalized alopecia and pityriasis with positive Pinna pedal reflex. Skin scraping by direct microscopy (10 ×) confirmed the presence of Sarcoptes sp. and Dermatophyte Sp. was confirmed by Lactophenol cotton blue staining technique. The dog underwent a successful treatment that included oral administration of ivermectin at a dosage of 300 μg/kg body weight, twice weekly for 4 weeks. Additionally, the dog received a topical wash with an acaricide solution containing 2% permethrin and 2% miconazole once every 3 days for the same 4-week period. The supportive therapy was also provided by administering a dewormer called pyrantel pamoate at a dosage of 20mg, and providing the dog with 4 drops of an herbal immunostimulant orally. Conclusion: Concurrent infection of scabies and dermatophytes can be managed even in a 2-month-old pup with the above protocol without any toxicity. 06 25 2023 29 32 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 10.58803/saa.v2i2.11 https://saa.rovedar.com/index.php/SAA/article/view/11 https://saa.rovedar.com/index.php/SAA/article/download/11/31 https://saa.rovedar.com/index.php/SAA/article/download/11/31 Jackson A, and Marsella.
