What ointment cures dog ringworm and yeast infection on paws fast?

Miconazole is an antifungal and would be effective against yeast. I would not recommend using any topical medication unless it has been recommended by your veterinarian. Clobetasone is a corticosteroid and would not be recommended for some dogs.

Poor Bruno. He should be on oral anti-fungal medication +/- topical antifungal cream or shampoo, depending on what areas of his body is affected. For really resistant infections often pets need extended time on the medication which can be anywhere from 2-6 weeks. I know it's tough to be compliant for that long, but it may be necessary to clear Bruno's infected skin completely and for good.

If you stopped the Fluconazole course before you were supposed to, then that would be why the yeast infection spread from his paw to his leg. It's never recommended to stop a course of treatment unless told to do so by your vet. I would take Bruno back into your vet today for an exam, the vet can advise if they want you to continue on the Fluconazole. Itching in dogs can be causing by fleas, mites, or allergies. If he isn't up to date on his flea treatment, you will need to give him a spot on treatment such as Advantage or Revolution, and you will have to disinfect the environment. Should he be up to date on his flea treatment, I would have the vet examine and test him for mites (skin scrapings) and allergies (blood tests) when you see him for the yeast infection.

Yes can be used but only supervision of your local veterinarian (which should have establish diagnosis first). If not working in 5-7 days a systemic or different treatment should be considered. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Only your vet can make the decision if it is acceptable or not to use Fluconazole with cetrizine with Bruno. Cetrizine is an antihistamine which is primarily used in humans, so it would be considered off label use in dogs. Because of this, only a vet who has a client patient relationship can safe if it is okay to use in a particular animal, and that is impossible to achieve this relationship via an internet forum. I recommend taking Bruno into the vet to discuss the use of these drugs together.

Ringworm is a fungal infection and an anti-bacterial spray will not cure ringworm. If it is a bacterial infection then a fungicidal spray will not work. So it is important to have the correct diagnosis in order to successfully treat the lesions. Therefore you should take Cowboy to a veterinarian for an exam and proper treatment.

Many yeast and or fungal infections can take a while to improve. Veterinarians often start with topical therapy and often that is all that is needed. However, if the area is larger, not improving, bleeding, or otherwise seems worse than sometimes oral anti fungal medications and sometimes a cone to keep them from licking are important nest steps. I would encourage you to have a follow up appointment with your veterinarian. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
