Abstract

Acariasis is a prevalent disease in Atelerix albiventris or African pygmy hedgehogs, with Caparinia tripilis being the main aetiologic agent. This case report describes a single instance of C. tripilis mange in a 16-month-old African pygmy hedgehog detected through clinical and microscopic skin scraping investigations. The owner brought the hedgehog to the IPB University Veterinary Teaching Hospital, complaining about inappetence, intense pruritus, diarrhoea, and crusts in the patient. Faecal native and flotation showed no helminthic or protozoan parasites. The treatment comprised subcutaneous ivermectin application at a dose of 0.4 mg/kg body weight. The control was made 14 and 28 days after the first hospital visit, with ivermectin applications at the same dose (three doses in total and two weeks apart from each dose). Microscopic examination of the skin scrapings was performed on days 14 and 28, and C. tripilis was not observed in these examinations. Complete clinical improvement was observed during the two control examinations. This is the first report to describe the use of a three-dose (two weeks apart) of ivermectin to treat capariniasis in an African pygmy hedgehog in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study reported that a 15-month-old intact female African pygmy hedgehog (Atelerix albiventris) was presented to IPB University Veterinary Teaching Hospital to evaluate a 1.5 cm í— 1.5 cm í— 0.5 cm mass on the left ventral thorax, three days after the mass was first discovered by the owner. Overgrown nails were observed on all four toes of each of the four limbs of the hedgehog. The body weight was 150 g, and the axial temperature was 36.5°C. The heart and respiratory rates were 180 per minute and 40 per minute, respectively. After a thorough physical examination, the patient was diagnosed with subcutaneous abscesses and overgrown nails. The abscess was surgically resected using a local anesthetic. The overgrown nails were trimmed to prevent further injury and the recurrence of abscesses. Following surgery, the hedgehog was discharged directly from the hospital and treated using Amoxicillin 15 mg/kg per oral every 12 hours for seven days, daily routine wound cleaning with sodium chloride, and topical powder of neomycin sulfate 5 mg/g and bacitracin 250 IU/g. The patient responded effectively to the systemic treatment, and medical signs and symptoms resolved. The hedgehog fully recovered from the subcutaneous abscess 14 days after the first hospital visit. No recurrence was reported in the subsequent month after resolution.
