my dobies, skin infection! please help!

• my dobies, skin infection! please help! small fidget Posted : 8/17/2006 6:22:54 AM hello friends, I need some help. My Doberman dobie is  having ringworm infection on his skin, over the leg. Can anyone please tell me, what are the oral drugs that i can give him, with dosages per kilogram body weight and for how much duration. He licks away the topically applied anti-fungal cream when i apply it, so its not having any effect on him. pl advise me as soon as possible. thank you abc LIKE 4 REPLIES 228 VIEWS LAST POST SANDRA_SLAYTON Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• glenmar Posted : 8/17/2006 6:27:49 AM Ringworm, if this IS ringworm, is a fungus infection and must be treated with a fungicide and THAT is only available for the vet.  Your dobie needs to be seen to be given the proper medication. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

You need to take your dog to the vet to get the right medicine; let us know what the vets says; good luck. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• BEVOLASVEGAS Posted : 8/19/2006 2:37:17 PM The vet that I work for use itraconazole as a systemic treatment for ringworm along with this he also uses Malaseb shampoo topically.  The treatment usually lasts from 4-6 weeks.  Hope this helps. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• sandra_slayton Posted : 8/19/2006 3:47:30 PM I would get the dog to a vet and it checked to amke sure what the problem is.  It could be an infection rather than ringworm.  Good luck 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
