Is Lamisil spray safe for my nursing dog losing ear hair?

I think the chances that the pregnancy will be affected by a single dose are unlikely. It may be best to stick with the ear cleaning solution until you can have Runtski examined by a vet to see if she needs the medications.

First of all it is necessary that you have a definitive diagnosis that your dog is indeed suffering from ringworm, so you do not give her medications on suspicion of ringworm. There are quite a few diseases that can look like ringworm, especially bacterial infections. So if your dog is indeed suffering from ringworm your vet will prescribe either a topical treatment (depends on the extent of the ringworm infection) such as an antifungal ointment, or a antifungal bath, and/or also oral medications. Both Itraconazole and Ketoconazole tablets have pregnancy risks, so possibly would not be a good choice to treat ringworm during pregnancy whereas a topical shampoo containing a fungicide may be a suitable choice. I suggest you see your veterinarian with your dog for a proper diagnosis and his recommendation for treatment as he will know best after examining your dog.

Congrats on the upcoming puppies! She could have a bacterial or yeast infection in her canal. She could also have ear irritation just from allergies and may not need that medicine. I would recommend to have your vet look at her ears to ensure her ear drums are intact as some ear meds can cause neurological problems if given when the ear drum isn't intact. Your vet will also be able to determine the cause of the ear irritation. Take the ear drops with you and they will be able to tell you if they will be a good medicine for the infection if there is one present. I hope this helps!

Poor Buddy! No, if Buddy has mites, they are not harmful to you or your unborn child. It is not very common for dogs to get ear mites, but they do occur. I would be more concerned about a potential bacterial or yeast infection in Buddy's ears, as that is a much more common condition and causes dogs to shake their head and scratch their ears. Often you will see brown/black debris in the ears with an infection as well that can be mistaken for mites. Regardless, I would take Buddy in for an exam with your vet and to get his ears swabbed to determine the underlying cause and to get some medication to put in his ears to resolve the issue.

Topical lidocaine would be safe, but it isn’t going to help much with the discomfort of the tick after an hour or so. Even though they are a common pest, they can cause irritation and local infection, quite a bit of discomfort in the ear, and (cause anemia in younger animals). A topical tick preventative would likely be cheaper in the long-run than purchasing lidocaine sprays.

This is a difficult to answer question. So we have a mother with mange, and this means the puppies will likely be infected with mange also. Therefore the risk of the puppies dying or getting severely ill from mange vs adverse events from medication is higher, and therefore I would treat the mother;s mange. You will however have to find out what kind of mange mites are present. Your vet should be able to tell you after an exam and then should prescribe a medication for mother and possibly puppies. There are several medications that will kill mites such as avermectins, (Revolution spot on, ivermectin or doramectin injections, Bravecto, Nexgard, etc.) Please take Diamond and her puppies to your vet for an exam and prescription.

I'm sorry but we cannot diagnose your cat's skin disease over the internet just by looking at some photos. Many skin diseases look the same. He needs to be examined by a vet. I cannot tell you if it is contagious or deadly because I don't know what it is. Again, a vet needs to examine him and do some testing. If it is not fungal in origin then the Lamisil is not going to work. It is not OK for the cat to lick the spray. If it is fungal in origin (like ringworm) the treatment you are doing may work but usually oral therapy is needed. To me, the lesions do not look typical for a fungal infection. Please have a veterinarian examine the cat. You need to get a diagnosis before you can know how to treat him properly.
