Vet prescribed fluconazole 150mg for 3 days twice daily one in morning and one in evening so does this dosage normal dosage to treat yeast infection?
Assuming Bruno weighs more than 30lbs the dosage is actually borderline low, I personally do not like Fluconazole, I usually prefer to use Itraconazole which I find more effective and safer, but at this dosage you do not have to worry about any severe side effects.

Dog is stumbling when he walks, hind legs appear to be the issue, has been breathing heavy. My dog is a chihuahua/min pin who is 9 yrs. Vet thinks it’s Fluconazole, because symptoms started 2 days after he got on it. Had an X ray and that was fine to
Hi there and thank you for using Boop by Petco to address your concern. I have never seen these symptoms occur with use of Fluconazole. I would say that this would be an uncommon side effect of Fluconazole but I cannot rule it out for sure. I would stop the Fluconazole and see if this helps resolve the problem. The heavy breathing could be due to Coke being in pain. This sounds more of a back problem and if his legs are not working well and he seems to be paralyzed or wobbly in the hind end, this could be due to a spinal issue if there is a prolapsed spinal disc. If the symptoms do not resolve after stopping fluconazole, I would recommend discussing a protruding intervertebral disc with the vet as a possible cause of the symptoms. This can be treated using steroids and pain medications. In some cases, surgical intervention is required to restore function back to the legs. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns

Fluconazole does not cause seizures. A reported side effect can be jaundice, which can be caused by liver failure, but overall it has been found to be a safe drug in dogs. It has the fewest adverse side effects compared with other anti-fungal drugs used for dogs.

Wondering if I could give my 6 year old 90lb dog fluconzole tablets that my doctor gave me for a yeast infection . My dog has a yeast infection to.
I would not recommend starting it without diagnosis from a vet and confirmation of the correct dosage. Bacterial infections are more common in dogs, so it may not be yeast. If you're seeing vaginal discharge, that is definitely not a yeast infection and you need to see her vet right away.
