We'd been trying to avoid oral med for 2 months, using medicated rx shampoo, Tresaderm topical solution, Chlotrimazole ointment-nothing works.
Now Bella is a little older and bigger (4 moths and 2 lbs 14 oz) and I hope she will tolerate it well, I'm sooo tired to see her suffering.
How much did you pay for Itraconazole? Was it in liquid or in capsules? |
We tried the same things with Oliver. We tried the medicated shampoo, Tresaderm and even sulfur dips -- nothing worked :-( Poor little thing! It was just a really stubborn ringworm. I think the Itraconazole was about $55 for a 4 week supply. Oliver had no problems with it whatsoever. The medicine comes in a pill that was too large for the vet to cut (it needed to be tiny), so he had to send it to a lab to have it formulated into a liquid. The lab made it peanut butter flavor, so Oliver looooved it.
I think the oral meds will definitely work for your puppy too! I hope that helps her and she gets all better really soon! We just struggled with the ringworm for over 3 months before the meds with no success, and he needed to get rid of it. I know exactly how you feel.
