This case report described the treatment of demodicosis (Demodex caprae) in 2 goats. Scattered in the entire body surface of both goats were lens-large nodes from which pasty secretion emptied itself during palpation. One goat was administered 0.67 mg/kg ivermectin orally once weekly for 12 weeks, and the other goat was treated with 0.5 mg/kg eprinomectin pour-on. The treatment led to entire healing without any scar formation or depigmentations of the skin.
