    Canine generalized demodicosis (GD) is a refractory or intractable disease, and are often associated with concurrent disorders. In this study, we investigated relationship between the concurrent disorders and prognoses in 15 dogs with GD. Eleven of 15 GD dogs (73%) were purebred toy breeds. We observed concurrent disorders in 10 dogs (66.7%) with GD, and 5 cases seemed to be immuno-compromised due to the disorders such as Cushing's syndrome, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and hemangiosarcoma. All cases were treated with ivermectin (600 μg/kg, po, once a day) or weekly dip of 0.05% amitraz solution. The GD cases with concurrent disorders may be less curable compared with those without concurrent disorders.

    A five-year-old male beagle was presented with gradually progressive papules and nodules on the perioral area, eyelids, head, medial pinnae, lumbosacral area, and ventral tail. Histopathologic examination of the skin lesions revealed multifocal pyogranuloma arround the hair follicules and vasculatures. Some sebaceous glands were replaced with restricted granuloma. Sterile pyogranuloma was suspected. The dog was treated with oral prednisolone, after which the skin lesions improved dramatically. The dog was diagnosed as having a variant of idiopathic sterile pyogranuloma syndrome based on the clinical features, although sebaceous adenitis was suspected histologically.
