      Prescription Antifungal for Dogs

      Signs and symptoms of a possible fungal infection in dogs may include sneezing, pain in nasal area, loss of appetite, swelling in nasal area, vomiting, and fever. Most fungal infections will be too complicated to treat your dog with over the counter anti-fungal sprays, gels, pills, or cream medications. With veterinary consultation, these products may be used until your pup can be taken to your veterinarian for proper diagnosis. Prescription antifungal medications come in both topical and oral forms, with oral providing the most effective care. Consult with your veterinarian to learn more about the infection and begin treating it properly.

Talk to a trusted veterinarian to find which infection your dog has, and which treatment is best for them.

      No, you should not use human antifungal cream on dogs. Human medications may be toxic to pets, and an antifungal cream specifically formulated for dogs is more appropriate. If your dog is suffering from a fungal infection, consult a veterinarian for proper diagnosis and treatment. Look for popular brands and medications like terbinafine, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and fluconazole, and more.
