Abstract: A 6 month old Persian cat was presented at the Veterinary Clinical Complex, Jabalpur with a history of hair fall, severe itching, and scratching at the ear pinnae. On further physical examination scaly, alopecic lesions were found on the margins of the inner side of the ear pinnae. For confirmatory diagnosis skin scrapping was procured and processed revealing the presence of microscopic mites belonging to the Notoedrus species. The case was successfully managed with Ivermectin @ 200 µg/kg, SC, once a week continuously for four weeks. An uneventful recovery occurred after two weeks of treatment.
