I read it on a internet site dealing with Dog Yeast infections of the skin. I have stopped it since it is not helping and gone back to a soothing type shampoo, all natural. It has never seemed to make a differnce with anything topical, it has to be systemic. I will try some of my new friends suggestions and see what happens. Thanks so much!!!
