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.

Black spots in the hair follicles don't always mean that there is a problem. Using a dog shampoo that contains benzoyl peroxide will help flush the follicles. I would not add chlorhexidine mouth wash since I am not sure the other ingredients in the mouth wash would be good for the skin. Can you buy MalAcetic Shampoo by Dechra online in the UK? It is a good antibacterial and antifungal combo shampoo. It is illegal for us to recommend specific antibiotics since I haven't physically examined Heisenberg. But most simple skin pyodermas clear up with a topical treatment.

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.

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!

Unfortunately, by law it is illegal for the experts at Boop by Petco to give a prescription for any drug without seeing the animal in person first. That's because doing so requires a veterinary client patient relationship which cannot be achieved via an internet forum. In addition, the experts cannot say for certain if a specific drug is safe for your dog. You will need to take Cosmo into your vet to get a prescription for fluconazole.
