Abstract
The purpose of the research is to study efficiency of drugs for veterinary use "Inspector Quadro C” and "Inspector Quadro K” in the case of dogs’ and cats’ dirofilariosis.
Materials and methods. Study was conducted on 24 animals of different breeds, which were naturally infected by Dirofilaria immitis and D. repens, including 12 dogs at the age from 7 weeks to four years with the body weight of 6–20 kg, and 12 cats at the age from 7 weeks to two years with the body weight of 0.7–5 kg. Diagnosis as well as drug efficiency was confirmed in its entirety based on clinical signs and laboratory studies (microscopic evaluation of animals’ blood films). V. B. Yastreb concentration method were used as the method of study. The drug was administered to the animals from experimental group by applying on dry, uninjured skin on places inaccessible for licking off in the dose range of 0.1 ml per 1 kg of animal body weight twice at intervals of 10–14 days which corresponds to the dose for cats 1 mg/kg, for dogs 2.5 mg/kg for moxidectin.
Results and discussion. It has been established that drugs "Inspector Quadro C” and "Inspector Quadro K” had demonstrated 100 % efficiency at dirofilariosis disease in dogs and cats. Negative influence of drugs on animals’ organisms was not established.
