Has your veterinarian done a fungal analysis? THAT should be your next step! A skin scrapping sent off to the lab!No bacteria,was on antibiotic,dog still has red rash around top of nails. Now on 3 nails. What can I do?
Soak his nails in the regular old brown Listerine a couple times a day, every day til they clear up. You can soak your own fingernails/toe-nails in it too, to remove the funus.No bacteria,was on antibiotic,dog still has red rash around top of nails. Now on 3 nails. What can I do?
Well, this is kinda a no brainer.....take him to the vet. If your current vet can't offer a diagnosis, then as with people...you get a 2nd opinion.
fungus (think of athletes foot, but on a dog).
the cheapest/easiest way to treat this is to use the cream that comes in the kits for female yeast infections. The active ingredients are identical to what your vet would prescribe. If possible, try to also cover the area after applying the cream so that the dog can't lick it.
DO NOT use listerine as this will just dry the skin, making it crack, and allow the fungus to penetrate deeper. Listerine does not have a sufficient %ethanol to kill fungus.
