My maltese has malassezia and needs oral ketaconazole as per the vet. But in order for us to get another consultation to find out the dosage we have to pay another vet visit which I'm trying to avoid. My dog weighs 13 lbs, what dosage and for how lon
Hello and welcome to Boop by Petco. I am sorry that Isabelle has this issue. Ketoconazole can be very hard on the liver and is only used in severe yeast infections. I would not give this medication unless a vet has specifically said that this medication is required. In general, a mild infection is treated with 5mg/kg (30mg for a 13lb dog), orally, one a day for 2 weeks, where a severe infection can be treated for 4-6 weeks. Often you will treat 1 week past clinical resolution. However, as mentioned, this medication can be very hard on the organs, especially the liver, and should not be given unless monitored by a veterinarian. I would suggest calling your vet to ask about dose amount and duration, as they may be able to tell you over the phone without another consult if you call and ask. Best of luck with Isabelle!

I can give my dog ketoconazole with atopica
Ketoconazole inhibits an enzyme which is involved in the metabolism of atopica. Ideally the drugs should not be given at the same time, unless under strict supervision of your veterinarian. Hope this answer was helpful, but 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.

My Pet Labrador has been diagnosed with yeast infection and was prescribed Ketoconazole 200mg (twice daily for 20 days). Instead of Ketoconazole, is it okay to give fluconazole( 200 mg for 20 days ) along with amoxyllin syrup (10ml for 10 days ), s
Hello and thank you for your post! I have used Fluconazole multiple times for yeast infections and 200mg twice daily is within the dosing range. I would discuss this with your prescribing veterinarian first before switching as different drugs are used in different circumstances. In my experience, Fluconazole has less side effects than Ketoconazole and I prefer Fluconazole. I do not know what concentration your amoxicillin syrup is, but if it is just a yeast infection, an antibiotic like amoxicillin is not going to help. Levofenil is a human product and has not been tested for use in animals, so I would avoid using this solution for treating Milo. I would recommend bathing Milo twice weekly with Duoxo Chlorhexidine PS combination shampoo until resolved. This shampoo will treat bacterial and fungal skin infections and it does so quite well. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns! I am also available via consultation if needed.

I have a 2 year female spayed lab...she developed fungus so she is on ketacanazole since 2 months...from few days she has lost appetite..otherwise she is active n has no fever..what can be the reason
The main side effects of ketoconazole are nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. The nausea can cause loss of appetite. Ketoconazole can also cause harmful liver effects so I suggest you talk to your vet about her symptoms. Some blood testing to check her liver values may be needed. https://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=521 Hope this helps.

Which is the best oral medicine for fungal infections in cats? Though my vet prescribed ketaconzole 200 half half twice a day i am a little hesistent in using it.
Ketoconazole is a great antifungal and usually works very well. The type of medication chosen depends on what condition is being treated. Ketoconazole is also less expensive than the other antifungals. If you are concerned about the choice of medication I would encourage you to discuss it with your veterinarian. If you can give us more information on what is going on with your cat we may be able to better recommend alternative treatments.
