The present study was carried out to get an understanding on the
epidemiological determinants, diagnostic techniques and assessment
of the efficacy of three different drugs in dermatophyte infected
dogs.No significant differences were noticed among age, breed, sex
and season in the occurrence of dermatomycosis.Diagnosis was mainly
based on direct microscopic and cultural examination of skin
scrapings.In haematological evaluation, low haemoglobin and
leucocyte count were recorded in infected group.Serum biochemistry
estimations revealed that total protein, albumin, globulin and A/G
ratio were higher in infected group.Treatment trials were conducted
in three groups each with nine animals. Group 1 animals were
treated with 5 mg/kg b.wt of ketoconazole OD orally for 14 days and
ketoconazole treatment gave promising results.Terbinafine was
administered at the dose rate of 4 mg/ kg b.wt OD orally for 14
days in group 2 animals. Terbinafine was found to be highly
effective in the treatment of dermatomycosis in dogs. The
combination of "BiocanM" and topical application of ketoconazole
was not found to be effective in treating dermatomycosis infections
in dogs.
