Last month the new vet took a swab between his paw (toes), placed under a microscope and he has fungus. Three baths already have helped him immensely and he has quit licking and chewing his paws. |
another shampoo for this is keta chlor by virbac as my dermatologist said she has seen less negative reaction with keta chlor than malaseb - dd got a hotspot from malaseb - maybe ask vet what their recommendation is and experience between the two as well - i think they both are for the same thing let me know
