Present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of two miticidal drugs for chronic generalized demodicosis in dogs. A total of 341 dogs were screened for chronic generalized demodicosis at TVCC, College of Veterinary Science and A.H., Jabalpur from August 2017 to April 2018. For therapeutic study, a total of 12 dogs having mange were divided randomly into two groups i.e. T1 and T2, each group comprising of 6 dogs. Groups T1 and T2 were treated with Tab Ivermectin and Inj Doramectin, respectively. Skin scraping examination was done on day 0 (pre treatment) and on days 15, 30, 45 (post treatment). On the basis of clinical recovery and presence of mite, Inj Doramectin @200 mcg/kg/week s/c (T2) was found more effective.
