I would not recommend using this medication on your dog. This medicine contains very unusual combination of active ingredients (antibiotic, anti-fungal agent, steroid and an agent against skin parasites). Giving steroids in fungal infections and parasites infestation is contraindicated but in this medicine they have been combined. It sounds that the tablets are for ' all possible skin problems' but by using it, for example in case of a mange or ringworm it could make things worse.

Yes, you can definitely give the oral antibiotics and apply the dermalone ointment at the same time. I would apply the ointment 2-3 times a day for at least the next 7 days and finish the entire course of antibiotic (give with food). Something else that can help is bathing every 2-3 days for 2 weeks with a medicated antibacterial shampoo such as Malaseb (available on chewy.com and petco.com), although your vet probably has a similar medicated shampoo that you can pick up from their office today leave the suds on for 5-10 min prior to rinse to allow the medicated shampoo bto have the greatest effect. Purchasing a probiotic from your vet as well can help prevent diarrhea from the cephalexin. Good luck!

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.

Terbinafine is an antifungal. If the lesion is ringworm (an fungal infection), you should not be touching it or the hair around it with your bare hands as it is highly transmissible to humans. as it is raw and red and not perfectly circular as with most ringworm lesions, it looks more like a bacterial pyoderma collarette to me. Augmentin is actually one of the milder antibiotics, commonly prescribed in human infants and toddlers. If you are worried about oral antibiotics/antifungals, you can ask your vet about a topical antifungal such as miconazole lotion (to cover your bases if it is ringworm), and topical steroid/antibiotic/antifungal ointment such as Dermavet. Good luck!

Antibiotics that could be prescribed for secondary skin infections include Clavamox and Cephalexin among others. The type of antibiotic prescribed by your vet depends on the type of bacterial infection they find on Keo's skin. Again, all prescription medication should be used under the direct supervision of your veterinarian.
