Fluconazole is an antifungal medication used for the treatment of serious fungal infections.
Fluconazole is for dogs and cats.
Treats serious fungal infections, especially of the central nervous system

Veterinarians use it in multiple species
Fluconazole is an antifungal medication that works by altering the membrane around the fungus, killing the fungus without harming the pet's cells.
This medication is a generic.
Fluconazole is given orally. Always follow the dosage instructions provided by your veterinarian. If you have difficulty giving the medication, contact your veterinarian.
Fungal infections are very difficult to treat, so the treatment may take weeks to months to completely eliminate the infection. It may take several weeks to even see an improvement.
This medication comes in tablet form.
Diflucan®
Talk to your veterinarian about what tests and exams may be necessary while your pet is taking Fluconazole. Also discuss how long the treatment period will be and what type of outcome is expected. You and your veterinarian should talk about any other treatment options that are recommended for your pet. Fluconazole is relatively expensive, so be sure to understand the total expected cost of treatment prior to starting treatment.
Tell your veterinarian if your pet has liver or kidney disease, may be pregnant, is nursing, or if you intend to breed your pet.
Notify your veterinarian of any other medications or supplements your pet is taking, and also if your pet has had any reactions to previous medications.
If you miss a dose, give it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to the regular schedule. Do not give two doses at once.
Fungal infections are very difficult to treat, so the treatment may take weeks to months to completely eliminate the infection. It is extremely important to follow the dosage instructions from your veterinarian.

My 10 year old Standard Poodle has an aspergillus sinus infection X 1 year+. His nose is tender, & red; he has an ongoing copious yellow-green nasal discharge, reverse sneezing, and coughing. He has had 3 trepination procedures, with an azole instilled into his sinuses. The last one did result in some improvement, but he is definitely still affected by it. After the last procedure, he was started on 148 mg fluconazole capsules twice daily, with liver enzymes monitored. What can be done?
