Abstract
A 4 months old male Golden Hamster was presented with alopecia on dorso-lumbosacral area and hind legs with moderate pruritus. Impression smear examination was positive for budding yeast cells and skin scrapings revealed mites identified as Demodex sp. Treatment was done with external application of Ketochlor shampoo along with oral supplementation of Immunol syrup. Lesions disappeared and animal recovered uneventfully after 9 weeks of treatment.
