Plain yogurt, the unsweetened kind, with live bacteria can add the good bacteria back to the intestinal track, and get the body back in balance, and an antifungal cream should be used as an external measure. By the way, some of the baby-wipe tissues might contain antibacterial properties, which may lead to a yeast infection. |
that has to be it then!! i wipe her with hypoallergenic cloths that probably are antibacterial...but the vet said to clean her off with antibacterial soups and use those cloths to clean her off and then apply the cream to it, but to me you are more correct because if i'm using them on it, i'm only making it moist and getting rid of the "good bacteria" that would keep the yeast at bay. say as antibiotics in women will cause a yeast infection.
thanks for the help. i think i'll just use warm water and dry the area throughly and then apply the cream for the next two weeks until we go back!! that sound like it will work better?
