Abstract: A four months old female Persian cat with a history of Pruritis, generalized alopecia, Inappetance, ocular discharge, apathy and scab-like lesions was reported to the T.V.C.C., Veterinary College, Jabalpur for treatment. Skin scrapings from the affected parts revealed heavy infestation by the mite Notoedres cati as evidenced by the presence of a dorsal anal slit. The affected parts were complicated by fungi and pyogenic bacteria. The animal was treated with Ivermectin at the dose rate of 400 µg/kg B.W. subcutaneously at weekly intervals for 5 weeks along with Cetirizine at the dose rate of 2.5 ml orally once a day for 2 weeks and an omega-3-fatty acid supplement with topical application of Betadine for one month. There was significant improvement in the body condition of the animal and post-treatment skin scrapings were free from the mite.
