Based on clinical and laboratory examinations it was diagnosed as mixed infection of malasseziosis, demodicosis and pyoderma and treated with oral ivermectin, ketoconazole, and amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and atarax tablets and along with these, used amitraz, kiskin and imidectin spot on as topical applications with ketochlor shampoo and supportive medications.
