Cheyletiellosis in cats
3 min read
Cheyletiellosis in cats is a condition caused by a mite called cheyletiella. The mite lives on the skin surface. It can affect cats of any age but is more common in kittens. Cheyletiellosis is an uncommon condition in cats. It usually only causes mild symptoms, such as itching and dandruff, and is normally easy to treat.
Cheyletiellosis is highly contagious; most cats catch it from direct contact with an infected cat, dog or rabbit. It also has the ability to spread to humans, though luckily, this is not common. Cheyletiellosis is also known as “walking dandruff”, rabbit mites or Cheyletiellosic mange.
