My dog has a severe yeast infection. We have had steroid shots and short term oral antibiotics, but none have helped. Can I get a script for fluconazole?
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.

My Pet Labrador has been diagnosed with yeast infection and was prescribed Ketoconazole 200mg (twice daily for 20 days). Instead of Ketoconazole, is it okay to give fluconazole( 200 mg for 20 days ) along with amoxyllin syrup (10ml for 10 days ), s
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.

Why vet prescribed FLUCONAZOLE 150mg only once in a week instead of twice daily?Is that medicine is so harsh and strong?how can it cause liver failure
You will need to ask your vet why he/she prescribed it on a weekly dosing. The typical dose is every 12-24 hours. The cause of liver toxicity from fluconazole is unknown and the severity of liver injury ranges from mild and transient to acute liver failure. Most patients recover when the fluconazole is stopped. I have prescribed anti-fungal medications frequently and have never had any problems, especially if the dog is young and healthy. If you are concerned, your vet could check liver values a few days after starting the medication to make sure here is no increase.
