On the basic of history, clinical findings, hematological parameters and skin scraping confirm the case of generalized demodicosis. The dog was treated with acaricide, Anthelmintic, Keratolytic agent, Antibiotic, Antihistaminic and immunostimulant. Treatment was continued until complete recovery of the animal. Two consecutive negative skin scrapings after treatment were considered as recovery from Demodex canis.
