Treatment and prevention of arachnoses, entomoses and nematodoses in small breeds dogs and cats with a drug based on moxidectin

Abstract

Abstract The authors study the efficacy of pharmaceutical drug “Inspector Mini” for external cutaneous use (spot-on), developed for the treatment and prevention of arachnoses, entomoses and nematodoses in small breeds dogs and cats, puppies and kittens weighing under 1 kg since the use of many drugs is limited for the small weight of the animal. It was found that in 14 days after 2-4 times treatments of animals with demodecosis, sarcoptosis, notoedrosis and otodectosis, microscopy in tick scrapings was not found; when observing experimental animals within 30 days, live larvae, adults of ixodid ticks, fleas, lice, and chewing lice were not observed; in 10 days after treatments of animals with intestinal nematodoses were not observed with a coprooscopic examination of nematodes eggs (Toxocara canis/mystax, Toxascaris leonina). Within 30 days observing dogs and cats using the drug no side effects were detected.
