Re: Mites d By People Pets Always!

[Guest guest]

Overview:

Canine demodicosis is a type of mange that occurs when abnormally high numbers

of a mite called Demodex canis multiply on the skin. This mite is normally

present in small numbers in the skin of healthy dogs, but when a dog's immune

system becomes weakened, the mites can overgrow and cause disease and

inflammation of the skin.

Demodicosis (Demodex cati, a Mange Mite)

The Demodex live in the hair follicles and sebaceous glands; problems develop

when the number of mites exceeds that which is tolerated by the immune system.

Usually the lesions are found around the eyes, face and head, and neck.

Demodicosis causes an inflammatory reaction, often leading to secondary

bacterial infections. Demodex mites can cause a patchy scaly reaction on the

skin surface, and what we term ceruminous otitis externa, a greasy ear

discharge. Immunosuppression, metabolic disease, and/or genetics may predispose

certain cats to demodicosis. A newer mite, Demodex gatoi has been isolated in

cats, and lives on the surface rather than down in the skin.

If the dog has strong immune the animal should be fine. Just like you ifimmune

was strengthen. Glad you are enjoying the love of a pet, no greater reward for

pet and owner. Side pull touched my heart with his post for you. Great reads.
