A 6 months old pug puppy breed was brought with poor general health condition, alopecia, crusted lesions, pruritis, skin scales and moist skin folds. Based on clinical and laboratory examinations it was diagnosed as mixed infection of malasseziosis, demodicosis and pyoderma and treated with oral ivermectin, ketoconazole, and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and atarax tablets and along with these, used amitraz, kiskin and imidectin spot on as topical applications with ketochlor shampoo and supportive medications. After 60 days of treatment, the animal was perfectly normal i.e., two successive deep skin scraping examinations yielded no mites, and no yeasts on staining examination, and no microbial growth on culture media, considered complete recovery from malasseziosis, demodicosis and pyoderma.
