About this Item

Paperback. Every cat owner knows the worry of watching their pet scratch relentlessly, but few understand the silent, microscopic world that may be causing the misery. Tiny Mites, Big Impact takes readers into the heart of feline demodicosis, a skin condition caused by parasitic mites that is far more complex than it first appears. Drawing on rigorous clinical research conducted across veterinary hospitals and pet clinics, this book explores how Demodex cati, Demodex gatoi, and Notoedres cati affect cats across different ages, sexes, and breeds. It examines how these infestations alter blood chemistry and key haematological markers, revealing what the body silently endures. Most importantly, it compares the effectiveness of two treatment approaches, weighing ivermectin against a powerful combination of eprinomectin and fipronil, to determine which gives cats the best chance at full recovery. Clear, evidence-based, and written for veterinary professionals and informed pet owners alike, this book transforms complex scientific findings into actionable knowledge, offering a smarter, more effective path to feline skin health.
