Scabies merupakan penyakit kulit menular pada kucing yang disebabkan oleh infestasi tungau Notoedres cati sehingga memerlukan diagnosis dan penanganan yang tepat. Tugas akhir ini bertujuan mendeskripsikan proses diagnosis, penanganan, perawatan, serta perkembangan kondisi klinis kucing domestik penderita scabies di Shimmer Vet Clinic. Diagnosis ditegakkan melalui anamnesis, pemeriksaan klinis, dan pemeriksaan skin scraping yang mengonfirmasi keberadaan Notoedres cati. Penanganan meliputi pemberian ivermectin secara subkutan sebagai terapi kausalis, vitamin B-complex sebagai terapi suportif, serta kombinasi ketoconazole dan Visancort sebagai terapi topikal untuk mengurangi peradangan dan mencegah infeksi sekunder. Monitoring dilakukan setiap tiga hari selama dua belas hari. Hasil menunjukkan penurunan pruritus, berkurangnya keropeng, eritema, dan penebalan kulit, serta pertumbuhan kembali rambut pada area lesi. Kombinasi terapi tersebut efektif memperbaiki kondisi klinis, mempercepat penyembuhan, mencegah kekambuhan, serta mendukung kesehatan dan kesejahteraan kucing secara menyeluruh.

Scabies is a contagious skin disease in cats caused by infestation with Notoedres cati mites and requires accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. This final project aimed to describe the diagnostic procedures, treatment, nursing care, and clinical progress of a domestic cat with scabies at Shimmer Vet Clinic. Diagnosis was established through history taking, clinical examination, and skin scraping, which confirmed the presence of Notoedres cati. Treatment included subcutaneous ivermectin as causal therapy, vitamin B-complex as supportive therapy, and a combination of ketoconazole and Visancort as topical therapy to reduce inflammation and prevent secondary infections. Clinical monitoring was performed every three days for twelve days. The results demonstrated reduced pruritus, crusts, erythema, and skin thickening, accompanied by hair regrowth in affected areas. The combined therapies effectively improved the cat’s clinical condition, accelerated recovery, prevented recurrence, and supported overall health and welfare.
