The use of a spot - on is an exciting concept, but more critically evaluated trials are needed to substantiate this drug's efficacy in the long - term
control of generalized demodicosis.
Although this moxidectin spot - on appears to be equally effective when compared with milbemycin oxime in the treatment
of generalized demodicosis using the criteria of this study, more long - term studies with stricter evidence for parasitologic cure are needed to corroborate these findings.
This spot - on product was evaluated in the treatment
of generalized demodicosis through a multicenter, randomized, blinded field trial during the registration process in Europe.30 Another group of dogs with generalized demodicosis was treated with daily milbemycin oxime and served as the control group.
First - step relatives (parents, offspring, full - and half - siblings) should not be bred close on either side of the affected dog's pedigree nor to mates who have a family
history of generalized demodicosis or autoimmune diseases.
When it is part
of generalized demodicosis, pododemodicosis may persist despite appropriate therapy, even if resolution of other affected areas is noted.
Mitaban Dip is used in dogs for the treatment
of generalized demodicosis (mange), a skin disease caused by a small mite not visible to the naked eye.
Three to six topical treatments (14 days apart) are recommended for the treatment
of generalized demodicosis.
