Is Fluticasone propionate 0.005% and mupirocin 2% ointment good for mange in kittens?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! Fluticasone is a steroid so it only relieves the desire to scratch. Mupirocin is an antibiotic. Mange is due to a mite. The above ointment may make the skin feel better but it will not kill the mites. I hope this helps!

is there any difference b/w DEXODERM OINTMENT & MUPIROCIN OINTMENT? DEXODERM composition has ofloxacin IP 0.75% w.w , Ornidazole IP 2% w/w , Terbinafine Hydrochloride BP 1% w/w, Clobetason Propionate IP 0.05% , Methyl Paraben IP 0.2% w/w , Propylpara
Dexoderm ointment has a broader spectrum as can treat fungal infections as well as bacterial ones. This because it has Terbinafine inside. Mupirocin is effective against bacterial infections only. The efficacy would depend on the type of infection Bruno has.

Where can I find an antiseptic shampoo for Bella's rash? I've found on Amazon Curaserb but unfortunately it seems to be sold out and no longer in market, I've asked for a shampoo but the vet said that it's not needed since her rash will fade but it's
My favorite brand is Duoxo. It comes in a shampoo that has chlorhexidine and climbazole that treats bacterial and fungal problems. However, if you are unable to find this or something similar at a pet store then any drug store is likely to have a chlorhexidine OR salicylic acid shampoo in their human shampoo section. I hope this helps! Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

How should I clean and help heal my puppy's lesions and scabs on his muzzle from Puppy Strangles? He is currently on Prednisolone and Amoxicillin.
Poor puppy. I would highly recommend asking your vet for prescription ointment for him as well, becuase nothing over the counter is going to help with this unfortunately. I would recommmend asking for either topical Mupirocin (prefered) or Resortin ointment. You can also apply a cold compress on the area for a few minutes, if tolerated, to help with some of the inflammation and pain. If he seems particularly painful, then a pain medication (Tramadol) can also be prescribed by your vet. I hope that your puppy feels better soon and is able to make a full and speedy recovery from Puppy Strangles. Best wishes and take care!

My in-laws dog has half a dozen of these bald spots. They had a dark crusty ring. They seem to be resolving on their own. What are they? She just finished a course of antibiotics for something else.
Hello. They appear to be epidermal collaretts, very typical of some skin infections caused by a staph bacterium. It stands to reason that they are clearing up because Bulya was on antibiotics. You can continue to treat these at home just by using an over the counter anti bacterial shampoo, one with benzoyl peroxide or 2-4% chlorhexidine. These shampoos are available at most large pet retailers or on-line. If you can bathe Bulya twice a week, letting her sit in the suds for 10 minutes before rinsing, all the lesions should clear in 4-6 weeks. If, however, they are not healing or her skin looks any worse, please be sure to see your veterinarian. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
