Acaríase ou sarna zoonótica por Cheyletiella em cães, gatos e coelhos

Queiletiose - Queiletielose é um tipo de sarna conhecida como “caspa ambulante”, causada por um ácaro denominado Cheyletiella spp, considerada uma zoonose. Os sinais clínicos são variados, causando dermatose, pápulas, alopecia e prurido intenso (ALVIM, N. C.; BONADIA, G. O.; PENA, S. B.; BISSOLI, E. D. G., 2005).

Cheyletiella parasita cães, gatos, coelhos e é um potencial agente zoonótico, podendo parasitar o homem. (KIRK, 1996 apud ALVIM, N. C.; BONADIA, G. O.; PENA, S. B.; BISSOLI, E. D. G., 2005).

O ciclo de vida do gênero Cheyletiella é simples, e é realizado todo sobre o hospedeiro, se completando em aproximadamente três semanas. (ACHA, SYGRES, 2003, p. 343; NÄREAHO, NIKANDER, SAARI, 2018, p. 208 apud FONSECA, V. D. M.; PEREIRA, M. F; RIBEIRO, S. G.; VIEIRA, V. P. C., 2021)

Fêmeas adultas e ovos podem sobreviver até 10 dias fora do corpo do hospedeiro, mas as fêmeas podem sobreviver alguns dias longe do hospedeiro, servindo assim, de fonte de reinfestação. No entanto, larvas, ninfas e machos adultos não são muito resistentes e eles morrem em cerca de 2 dias no ambiente externo (ACHA, SYGRES, 2003, p. 346 apud FONSECA, V. D. M.; PEREIRA, M. F; RIBEIRO, S. G.; VIEIRA, V. P. C., 2021).

Dandruff in Dogs: Types, Causes, Diagnosis, and Vet-Approved Treatment Options

Just like humans, dogs can experience dandruff, which can be an irritating condition for your pet and a concern for you as a pet parent. Dandruff in dogs presents itself as flaky skin and can be a sign of underlying health issues. In this blog, we will explore the types of dandruff, their causes, how vets diagnose it, and effective treatment options to help your dog stay healthy and comfortable.

What is Dandruff in Dogs? Dandruff is the shedding of dead skin cells that appear as white or grey flakes on your dog’s coat. While occasional shedding of skin is normal, excessive flakiness indicates dandruff, which could stem from a variety of reasons ranging from environmental conditions to underlying health problems.

Types of Dandruff in Dogs

Dry Dandruff - Dry dandruff occurs when your dog’s skin becomes too dry, often due to a lack of moisture in the environment or the skin itself. This type of dandruff appears as small, white flakes and is more noticeable on dark-coated dogs. It's common during winter when the air is drier.

Oily Dandruff (Seborrhea) - Oily dandruff, also known as seborrhea, occurs when your dog's skin produces too much oil. This leads to greasy, yellowish flakes, which may also cause a strong odor. Seborrhea can be either primary (genetic) or secondary (due to underlying health conditions).

Walking Dandruff (Cheyletiellosis) - Walking dandruff is caused by Cheyletiella mites and is highly contagious. The mites resemble moving flakes of dandruff, which is where this condition gets its name. It's often accompanied by itching and redness on your dog’s skin.

Causes of Dandruff in Dogs

Various factors can contribute to dandruff in dogs, including:

Poor Nutrition: A diet lacking in essential fatty acids, vitamins, and minerals can lead to dry and flaky skin.

Environmental Factors: Dry air, excessive bathing, or exposure to harsh shampoos can strip the skin of moisture, leading to dandruff.

Allergies: Dogs with allergies, whether to food, pollen, or fleas, may develop dandruff as a result of the allergic reaction.

Parasites: Fleas, ticks, and mites can irritate the skin, causing itching and dandruff.

Skin Infections: Bacterial or fungal infections, such as ringworm, can lead to excessive flaking of the skin.

Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like hypothyroidism or Cushing’s disease can affect the skin's health, leading to dandruff.

Stress and Anxiety: Prolonged stress in dogs can cause skin problems, including dandruff.

Diagnosing Dandruff in Dogs: To properly treat dandruff in dogs, it’s essential to diagnose the underlying cause. A vet will typically:

Conduct a Physical Exam: The vet will examine your dog’s coat and skin for signs of dryness, oiliness, or infestation.

Run Blood Tests: Blood work can help determine if hormonal imbalances or other internal conditions are contributing to dandruff.

Perform a Skin Scraping: In the case of suspected parasites, a skin scraping may be done to identify mites or infections.

Analyze Diet and Lifestyle: The vet may ask about your dog's diet, grooming routine, and environmental factors to rule out external causes.

Effective Vet-Approved Dandruff Treatment Options

Dietary Changes - Ensuring your dog receives a well-balanced diet rich in omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids can improve skin health and reduce dandruff. Consider adding fish oil or flaxseed supplements to boost hydration from within.

Medicated Shampoos - Vets may recommend specialized medicated shampoos to combat dandruff. Look for products containing ingredients like salicylic acid, sulfur, or selenium sulfide, which help reduce flakiness and soothe irritation.

Hydration and Moisturizing Sprays - Keeping your dog hydrated is key to maintaining healthy skin. In dry environments, use moisturizing sprays or conditioners specifically formulated for dogs to maintain skin moisture.

Regular Grooming - Regular brushing helps distribute natural oils across your dog’s skin, preventing dry patches and removing loose dandruff flakes. Ensure you use brushes that are appropriate for your dog’s coat type.

Treating Underlying Conditions - If dandruff is caused by an underlying health condition such as hypothyroidism, your vet will prescribe appropriate treatment to manage the condition, which in turn will reduce dandruff.

Parasite Control - In cases of walking dandruff, your vet will recommend topical or oral treatments to eliminate the mites. Regular flea and tick preventatives can also help prevent parasite-related dandruff.

Managing Allergies - If your dog’s dandruff is due to allergies, your vet may suggest allergy testing and recommend antihistamines or hypoallergenic diets to manage the condition.

When to See the Vet

While mild dandruff can often be treated with at-home remedies, it’s important to consult your vet if:

Your dog’s dandruff is persistent or severe.

Your dog shows signs of itching, redness, or infection.

You notice other symptoms like hair loss, weight gain, or lethargy, which could indicate an underlying medical condition.

Final Thoughts

Dandruff in dogs may seem like a minor issue, but it can often be a sign of a larger health problem. By understanding the types, causes, and treatment options, you can help your dog maintain healthy, flake-free skin. Always consult with your vet before starting any treatments to ensure you're addressing the root cause of the issue.

fence thats such a sick special interest whats your coolest parasite fact :o

i just saw this but THANK YOU!! it has been my special interest for. 8 years?? they just live there in the back of my head ( not literal ) and i love making my own little parasites in my worldbuilding

i may say a couple of facts that i think are cool and stick arnd in my brain :D regardless of whether i do or not i will put them UNDER a cut in case it ends up grossing people out :3

cheyletiella aka walking dandruff is the only mite you can see without a microscope! ( and that is out of 300k species ) other mites are classified as protozoa aka microscopic parasites. i just think it's neat that so far only one type of mite has been able to be seen with the naked eye

ticks are both parasites ( ectoparasite ) and arachnids . crossover of the century...

there is/was? a lot of controversy over one type of parasitic catfish because a lot of men started reporting that it would swim up their urine and lodge themselves into their penises. the whole thing has been discredited as of 2001 due to overall a lack of evidence but i think it's really funny

the tongue eating louse is one of my favourite parasites :) all it really does is replace a fish's tongue and in most cases calls it good.

How to give best care to your pet’s hair?

Walking Dandruff and Other Parasites

Cheyletiella mites are large enough to be seen with the naked eye, and look very similar to white dandruff flakes. Like other external parasites such as fleas, ticks, and Demodex and Sarcoptes mites, these unwelcome guests live and feed on your dog's skin, and will cause him to be very itchy.

Issues with Nutrition and Obesity

Your dog may be deficient in nutrients that are necessary for the health of his skin and coat due to an inappropriate diet. Ensure that the food you are feeding your dog is of the highest calibre and is balanced. Some dogs benefit from supplementary dietary supplements of fatty acids like omega-3s and omega-6s because they have a function in skin health. But before adding anything new to your dog's food, it's crucial to see your veterinarian.

As you are aware, obesity increases your dog's risk for a wide range of illnesses. Poor skin health is only the beginning.

Skin Infections

Additionally, bacterial and fungal skin infections can result in dandruff. These little invaders might also leverage the skin's vulnerability as a result of your dog's other health issues to spread an infection. Bacterial and fungal infections need to be treated properly to restore your dog's skin to a healthy state, regardless of whether the dandruff or the skin infection appeared first.

Allergies

Food and environmental allergies in dogs usually manifest as skin problems. Affected dogs may be itchy during particular times of the year, suffer from chronic ear and skin infections, or constantly lick their paws. Dandruff is usually just one symptom of a dog with allergies.

Hormonal Conditions

Diseases such as hypothyroidism and Cushing's disease can cause changes in your dog's skin health. A weakened immune system will also make him more vulnerable to secondary infections.

Symptomless Seborrhea

The term "idiopathic" or "spontaneous" is used when we don't know the exact aetiology of seborrheic dermatitis in some cases. When a dog's flaky skin has an unknown aetiology, it can be relieved symptomatically and further maintenance care can be given as required.

Although you're the vet/clinic worker and probably know more than I do. My point is, if you regularly take your cat for check ups, feed it properly, and generally be a responsible pet owner, wouldn't free roaming be okay? We're almost religious in taking our pets to the vet regularly (we had a pup who caught cat flu from a neighbour's dog and nearly died, scared us witless, as a result the slightest sniffle we're off the vet) we've never had a problem with our cats becoming ill.

I’ve decided to answer your question regarding my post about keeping cats indoors, since yours was the only decent one, the rest of them being anons telling me that I am an animal abuser and to go fuck myself. Charming, huh?Anyway, kudos for being a responsible owner, I wish there were more like you out there.This is my third year as a vet, but I’ve already seen enough to recommend owners to keep their cats from roaming freely.I’ve seen cats with pneumothorax caused by air rifle bullets/pellets, bite wounds that turned into nasty abscesses, lacerations, skull fracture caused by car accidents/ physical attack (hit by shovel/baseball bat/ who knows what else), torn limb after dog fight, eye enucleation, broken jaw, spine fractures, ruptured spleen and haemoabdomen, etc. I’ve seen cats die in front of me because of antifreeze poisoning, I’ve had cats bleeding profusely because of rodenticides, kittens thrown into a bucket of motor oil or tar. I’ve had white coated/pink nosed cats die of squamous cell carcinoma because they were out in the Sun most of the time instead of being kept indoors. These are all issues that cannot be prevented by regular check ups at the vet. These are things that happen to cats who roam freely. And I haven’t even started on the infectious and parasitic diseases. Rabies, FeLV, FIV, rhinotracheitis (feline herpes virus), Chlamydophila felis, Bordetella, Cryptosporidium, Mycoplasma, Microsporum, Aelurostrongylus (lung worm), Dirofilaria (heart worm), Toxoplasma, Toxocara cati (cutaneous larva migrans in humans), Tularemia, murine thyphus, Yersinia pestis ( yes, the Black Plague), Cheyletiella, Bartonella, and so on. There is also a zoonotic risk associated with keeping free-roaming cats.Cats are also responsible for the disruption of the local ecosystem by killing hundreds of thousands of birds, small mammals, reptiles and fish, so they should be kept indoors/confined.Public education and preventive care is critical, but people are not easy to convince. A lot of them claim that it is cruel to keep their cats indoors, and they have the tendency to ignore the veterinarian’s or the technician’s advice. What bothers me is that, although we tell this litany to all who own free-roaming cats, we are the ones who are blamed if something happens to their pet. ���The vet didn’t tell me.’ There are a few alternatives that can work, such as keeping the cats on an attended leash or in an outdoor enclosure. Also, all cats should receive at least the rabies vaccine and should be neutered in order to prevent the already large feral cat population from increasing.Free-roaming cats suffer premature mortality from accidents, fights, diseases and malevolent people. Please take care of your cats.

What are Dog Mites?

Although it is easy to mistake a mite for a worm, it is not classified as an insect. Instead, the mites are a type of arthropod (joint-legged invertebrates), belonging to the arachnid, which resembles a spider. There are four types of worms that can harm dogs: - Demodex canis mites - Sarcoptes scabby mites - Otodectese cynotis mites - Cheyletiella yasguri mites

How to get rid of dog mites in your home?

Dog mite symptoms

If you notice any of the below symptoms in your dog, they may have mites: - Hair loss (in patches or all over their coat) - Dandruff - Excessive scratching - Irritation that looks like red skin - You can also see worms on their skin - peel off the fur and look closely

Diagnosis of mites in dogs

You can find out if your dog has worms by carefully studying their skin. If they are mostly scratching, biting, or chewing you may suspect they have worms and examine them closely. However, your veterinarian is the best person to diagnose worms in your dog. They can tell you what worms your dog has and how to treat them. Your veterinarian will usually diagnose worms by examining a piece of skin or hair under a microscope - this is a completely safe procedure. This will help them identify the type of worms that are affecting your dog.

How to treat dogs with mites

The good news is that most insect bites can be treated with a simple anti-parasite wash. Antimicrobial shampoos can help cure your dog of a variety of mites. You can buy them from many pet stores, but it is best to ask your veterinarian first to make sure you are using the right shampoo. Your veterinarian may instead prescribe medicine or spot-on medicine to help you get rid of the disease. Sometimes more than one treatment is used at a time and they need to be performed for a while. The only thing you must do is be patient — and very soon your dog will be free of mites!

How do mites get into dogs?

Dogs can pick up worms from many places. They are usually transmitted from dog to dog, but they can also come from their environment. Your dog can catch worms if it comes into contact with another dog that has things like animal shelter or clothing. Most dogs are inspected before using these services, but accidents do occur. Your dog can also pick them up from another dog when you go out and walk. Dog worms can live in their bed or carpet-like environment, even after they or another dog has become contaminated. Your dog would pick those again, so you need to make sure everything is clean and free of mites after a known infestation.

Basic Maintenance for Prevention

Mites are something every pet owner can see at some point in their dog’s life. But unless you live in a very dirty environment or you adopt a dog from extreme conditions, your dog is less likely to experience mites. Dogs that live in well-maintained clean homes are less likely to have insect problems than dogs that come from clean and dirty areas.
