Demodectic and sarcoptic mange are parasitic skin diseases caused by mites. Canine demodicosis is caused by Demodex canis mites and generally presents in young dogs, though some cases occur in older dogs. It is not contagious between dogs. Canine scabies is caused by Sarcoptes scabiei mites and is highly contagious between dogs. It causes severe itching that escalates over time. Both diseases can be diagnosed via skin scrapings and treated with licensed products. Canine demodicosis can be difficult to cure and require multiple treatments, while canine scabies usually responds well to treatment with high cure rates.
Mange is among the common illnesses that many dog owners are concerned about. People usually get tensed and do not know how to handle such situations. I present you this Presentation that speaks about Mange, a skin disease caused by tiny parasite mites on dogs. You can refer to this to know what Mange is all about, the types of Mange, the causes, the symptoms and a few easy ways to deal with it. Mange, if left untreated can be fatal. Therefore, timely knowledge and treatment about this disease is important. You can also add your views in the comments below.

Paratuberculosis is a contagious, chronic and sometimes fatal infection that primarily affects the small intestine of ruminants.
It is caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis.
Infections normally affect ruminants (mammals that have four compartments of their stomachs, of which the rumen is one),
but have also been seen in a variety of non ruminant species, including rabbits, foxes, and birds. Horses, dogs, and nonhuman primates have been infected experimentally.
Paratuberculosis is found worldwide

Ring worm in domestic animals. Clinical signs and treatment in different animals
Ringworm is a common infection of the skin caused by fungi. They affect human and animal superficial keratinized tissue (hair, nail, and skin) caused by dermatophytes' invasion of keratinized epithelial cells and hair fibres. It has a distinctive character that is alopecia with or without crust formation in circular scaly areas . This disease is a widespread disease that exists in all animals and humans as well.
Etiology : -
Two species Isolated [ Microsporum and Trichophyton ]
Cattel ➞ T. verrucosum
Horses ➞ T. equinum, M canis and T. mentagrophytes
Dogs And Cats ➞ M. canis,M. gypseum and the T. mentagrophytes
Camel ➞ T.mentagrophytes
Epidemiology :-
occurs in all animal species in all countries but more commonly where animals are accommodated in dense groups, especially indoors and in young age are more susceptible .
Transmitted by Direct Contact with infected animals is the common method of spread
And Indirect contact with inanimate objects, particularly bedding, harness, grooming kits and horse blankets .
Pathogenesis:-
➢ Ringworm fungi attack keratinized tissues, particularly the stratum corneum and hair fibers, resulting in autolysis ofthe fiber structure, breaking off the hair, and alopecia.
➢ Exudation from invaded epithelial layers, epithelial debris and fungal hyphae produce the dry crusts which are characteristic of the disease.
➢ The lesions progress if suitable environmental conditions for mycelial growth exist, including a warm humid atmosphere, and a slightly alkaline pH of the skin. Ringworm fungi are all strict aerobes and the fungi die out under the crust in the center of most lesions, leaving only the periphery active.
Clinical signs:-
A-Cattle & buffaloes:
➢ The typical lesion is a heavy, gray-white crust raised perceptibly above the skin.
➢ The lesions are roughly circular and about 3 cm in diameter.
➢ In the early stages the surface below the crust is moist, in older lesions the scab becomes detached and pityriasis and alopecia may be the only obvious abnormalities.
➢ Lesions are most commonly found on the neck, head and perineum but a general distribution over the entire body may occur, particularly in calves, and in severe cases the lesions may coalesce.
B-Sheep & goats:
➢ The lesions occur on the head, rarely in the fleeced areas and, although they usually disappear in 4-5 weeks, the disease may persist in the flock for some months.
➢ The lesions are discrete, round, almost bald patches covered with a grayish crust.
➢ Similar lesions occur in goats, but they are distributed generally over all parts of the body.
Horses : -
➢ typically dry forms of the disease. characterised by small tufts of spiky hair which soon fall out .
➢ alopecic areas covered by greyish scales with an underlying dry integument .
Camel : -
➢ The Classic Lesion of Camel Ringworm is non-pruritic And Alopecic with a gray – white , Thick crust That Cant be pulled

ICAWC 2015 - The Power of Play - Alasdair BunyanDogs Trust
Play can be used as a highly valuable reinforcement, but in order to use play in our training a greater awareness of breed specific play styles and canine communication must be understood.
Alasdair will discuss the importance of play, play styles, appropriate and inappropriate play and thoughts on motivation and how to use play as reinforcement to both the handlers and dog’s benefit.
ICAWC 2015 - Reinforcing the Canine Human Bond Through Training - Alasdair Bu...Dogs Trust
The working relationship between the handler and the dog, and the dog’s understanding of the concept of training should be built prior to any intense behavioural modification taking place. Alasdair will discuss the working relationship fundamentals and then the prime behaviours that should be implemented before any behavioural modification takes place.
Heather will illustrate a pilot welfare assessment protocol which has been trialed and refined at two existing TNR programmes. The authors have identified gaps in current understanding and interpretation of dog behaviours, highlighting the need for a solid understanding of canine behavioural communication.
ICAWC 2015 - Ins and outs of homing cats - David NewallDogs Trust
This talk will focus on Cats Protection’s thoughts on the sort of changes they have made and continue to make to homing processes; avoiding relinquishment, direct home-to-home adoptions etc. David will also include pieces from Cats Protection research, a lot of which is relevant to shelters in any country.
ICAWC 2015 - Humane Community Development - Kate Nattrass Atema Dogs Trust
Humane Community Development: An “inside-out” approach to humane dog population management
This presentation will discuss IFAW’s newest approach to humane dog management: a community-centered process called Humane Community Development.
Dogs Trust, with the help of Animal Rights Protection Lithuania, has undertaken two investigations looking at the illegal import of puppies across the EU. Despite conclusive evidence from the 1st investigation being presented to the EU and national government along with a series of urgent recommendations set out by Dogs Trust to help curb the trade, the puppy trafficking trade has continued unabated. In early 2015, Dogs Trust went back into Eastern Europe to highlight that the Pet Travel Scheme (PETS) is still being used as a cover by commercial breeders and dealers in Lithuania and Romania on a regular basis to illegally import puppies, often in horrendous conditions, and transporting them thousands of miles without their mothers.

mange
David Grant
B.Vet. Med. Cert.SAD. F.R.C.V.S.
2. Canine Demodicosis and
Canine Scabies
• Both canine demodicosis and canine
scabies are parasitic diseases caused by
mites invisible to the naked eye
• They are generally diagnosed from the
clinical signs and by skin scraping, hair
plucks or tape strips and identification of
the mite microscopically
3. CANINE DEMODICOSIS
• The disease is caused by Demodex canis
• This is a parasitic mite which is
transferred from the carrier mother to her
pups in the first 2 or 3 days of life
• Thereafter the disease is non-contagious
• This is an important distinction from
canine scabies which is highly contagious
6. CANINE DEMODICOSISDemodex canis
•
CLINICAL FEATURES
•
•
The disease is more common in pedigree dogs, particularly short haired
Can occur in long-haired dogs e.g. Old English Sheepdog, West Highland
White and Afghan.
There are three forms of the disease. These are :Localised and generalised
A few cases present with foot lesions only. This is called Demodectic
pododermatitis
The majority of cases present in the first year of life-called juvenile onset
A minority present in older dogs more than 2 years of age and usually in
old age. These are called adult onset demodicosis and is associated with
suppression of the immune system. These have a guarded outlook
because there may be a serious underlying disease

16. CANINE DEMODICOSIS
Diagnosis
• Deep skin scrapings using blunted
number 10 scalpel blade
• Hair plucks
• Tape strips using scotch diamond ultratransparent
• Impression smears if deep pyoderma
17. CANINE DEMODICOSISlicensed treatment
• Amitraz(Aludex) 0.5% solution weekly
• Metaflumizone + amitraz spot
on(Promeris duo) every 2 weeks. This is
off label as manufacturer recommends
monthly
• Moxidectin + imidacloprid spot
on(advocate) weekly spot on
18. CANINE DEMODICOSIS
Unlicensed treatment
• Ivermectin. Orally at a dose of 0.3-0.6
mg/kg daily Do not use in collies and
related breeds-neurotoxic. Prudent to
start with 0.1 mg/kg and build up over a
week or two until at the upper dose rate.
Commonly first choice in many parts of
the world
32. CANINE SCABIES
• DIAGNOSIS
• History, physical examination, skin scrapings, ELISA
test and/or trial therapy
• Often mildly pruritic initially but gets markedly worse
without treatment
• Sarcoptes can be difficult to capture even with
numerous skin scrapings therefore• Trial therapy should be given to any dog suspected of
having scabies even if scrapings are negative
33. CANINE SCABIES
TREATMENT
Amitraz-5 to 6 weekly baths recommended, at a dilution of 250
ppm
Cannot be used in Chihuahuas, puppies less than 12 weeks of
age, pregnant or lactating bitches
Selamectin(Stronghold)is licensed-spot on every month for three
applications
Moxidectin(Advocate) is licensed-spot on every two weeks for
three applications
With therapeutic trial veterinarian should apply and monitor
(Ivermectin is effective at 200 mcg/kg subcutaneous injection x 3 at
10 day intervals but is not licensed)
