    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe the clinical presentation and treatment of feline demodicosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Clinical signs of feline demodicosis were observed.
    • Treatment involved the local topical application of a 2.5% lime sulfur solution.

    Main Results:

    • Clinical signs included nonpruritic alopecia, scaling, erythema, and hyperpigmentation, primarily affecting the facial region.
    • Treatment with topical lime sulfur solution every 10 days was generally curative.

    Conclusions:

    • Feline demodicosis is a treatable condition.
    • Topical lime sulfur solution is an effective treatment for feline demodicosis, with resolution typically occurring within weeks to months.
