Itching and Scratching
Animals affected by Chorioptes bovis allergy often exhibit excessive scratching and biting at the skin, leading to severe discomfort. The intense itching can be attributed to the mites burrowing into the skin and causing irritation.
Fur Loss
Chorioptes bovis mites often cause hair loss in the animals they infest. This hair loss is typically most noticeable on the tail and hindquarters, but it can occur anywhere on the body.
Crusting and Scaling
As the mites progress, the irritated skin often develops crusts and scales. These patches of dry, rough skin can be quite thick and can cause additional discomfort for the animal.
Thickening of the Skin
Chronic infestations of Chorioptes bovis mites can lead to a visible thickening of the skin. This happens as a result of the animal's immune response to the mite's saliva.
Restlessness and Irritability
The constant discomfort caused by the mites can lead to changes in the animal's behavior. They may become more restless and irritable as a result of the constant itching and irritation.
Secondary Infections
Animals that excessively scratch and bite at their skin to relieve the itchiness caused by the mites can end up causing self-inflicted wounds. These open wounds are susceptible to bacterial infections, further complicating the animal's condition.
