Treatment of scabies in cat at Yourdaily Petshop and Vet, East Jakarta
Abstract
Skabies merupakan penyakit sistem integumen pada kucing yang disebabkan oleh tungau Sarcoptes scabiei maupun Noroedres cati. Tungau masuk jaringan kulit dengan menembus lapisan epidermis, kemudian membuat terowongan sebagai tempat untuk bersarang dan bertelur. Aktivitas mekanis dan enzimatis tungau didalam lapisan epidermis menimbulkan reaksi alergi dan gejala klinis berupa pruritus, alopesia, papula, hyperkeratosis dan krusta pada hewan. Studi kasus ini melaporkan tampilan gejala klinis, pemeriksaan penunjang dan penanganan kasus skabies pada kucing bernama Chelsea ras Persia berumur 7 tahun. Kucing dibawa pemiliknya ke klinik hewan karena ada keropeng pada telingan. Pemeriksaan fisik dilakukan dan diagnosa penunjang berupa skin scraping pada superfisial pinna telinga. Hasil pemeriksaan skin scraping ditemukan infestasi tungau Notoedres cati pada kucing. Penanganan yang diberikan berupa injeksi antiparasit ivermectin, antihistamin diphenhydramine, dan kucing dimandikan dengan sampo lime sulfur 2%. Pemilik kucing Chelsea diminta kembali datang ke klinik pada hari ke 14 pasca terapi untuk melakukan kontrol dan hasilnya sudah tidak ditemukan infestasi tungau. Injeksi ivermectin kedua tetap diberikan untuk memastikan tungau telah tereliminasi secara keseluruhan.
