Two rare disorders in the cat: Demodectic otitis externa and sarcoptic mange

Demodectic and sarcoptic mange are unusual diseases of cats, and for this t he literature is relatively scarce. Two such cases are described in this pa per. The first case was a cat with bilateral, dark brown discharge from the ear canal, in which Demodex cati were found. The second was a cat with ext ensive dermatitis on the legs, head, and body from which Sarcoptes scabiei was recovered. This is the first time Demodex cati and Sarcoptes scabiei ar e reported in cats in Greece.
