Exclamation Walking Dandruff

Cheyletiellosis is an itchy, scaling skin disease
of cats caused by infestation with Cheyletiella mites. It is often called "walking dandruff" because when you examine an infested cat, you may see that the "dandruff" is moving. The movement is actually caused by the mites moving around under the scales. Although the mites inhabit the entire body, the scaling and itching often seem worse over the back.

Cheyletiellosis is a contagious and a zoonotic disease which means it can be spread to and from other cats, dogs or humans. Cats can acquire the infection from other pets or humans. The mite is transmitted by close contact with infested animals. Since the mite can live for a few days off the host, it is also possible to become infected through environmental contamination. Eggs are also shed into the environment, which is believed to also be an important cause of reinfestation.
This disease is very contagious making it more prevalent in shelters, humane societies, boarding facilities and grooming establishments where there are lots of pets. Poor sanitation, poor nutrition and overcrowding can lead to infestation.

Kittens seem to be more susceptible than older animals, but infestation of adults is also seen. Long-haired cats appear to be predisposed.

What to Watch For

# Flaky, scaly hair coat (especially over the back)
# Itchiness (in some pets)
# Redness of skin (in some pets)




memang xsangka benda ni boleh terkena kat My Isabell.. sob..sob..

Memang ngeri dengar pasal walking dandruff nie
Sekiranya kucing ada fleas, mites, walking drandruff etc tolong jangan ubatkan kucing ngan Frontline dekat area rumah yang ada carpet. Sebab bila spray, fleas, mites, walking drandruff akan melompat kuar dan jatuh ke carpet dan akan hidup kat situ So no purpose kalo spray sebab nanti akan terjangkit balik. Lebih elok spray kat tempat macam toilet so lepas spray leh cuci toilet tu.
