Which is the best oral medicine for fungal infections in cats? Though my vet prescribed ketaconzole 200 half half twice a day i am a little hesistent in using it.
Ketoconazole is a great antifungal and usually works very well. The type of medication chosen depends on what condition is being treated. Ketoconazole is also less expensive than the other antifungals. If you are concerned about the choice of medication I would encourage you to discuss it with your veterinarian. If you can give us more information on what is going on with your cat we may be able to better recommend alternative treatments.

Female kitten, not sterilized, 3.5 months old, never go outside. Has skin issue since 3 weeks (see pictures here attached). Follows a vitamin cure. We use Funginox Solution Ketoconazole 2% on her to prevent fungus.
It is most likely ringworm but it could also be skin mites - those are the two most common dermatological problems in kittens. It is impossible to diagnose either of those just by looking at photos. I suggest you try to get her to a vet when you can so they help figure out what is going on. For now, continue with the Ketoconazole.

What type of cream can be used as antifungal cream for cats? For a ringworm.
Miconazole and clotrimazole are the most common topical anti-fungal medications that we use for ringworm, but you will want to consult with your veterinarian before starting any treatment for ringworm to make sure that Pita Boo is confirmed to have ringworm, to make sure that he doesn't need oral medication as well and to make sure that the topical product is safe for cats. I am including a handout on ringworm below for your reference which discusses treatment. https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951439 Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

I can give my dog ketoconazole with atopica
Ketoconazole inhibits an enzyme which is involved in the metabolism of atopica. Ideally the drugs should not be given at the same time, unless under strict supervision of your veterinarian. Hope this answer was helpful, but please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

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.
