And when I take her back to the vet she keeps on telling me she is getting better, but she is not. The vet then gave her an injection and followed with another injection a week later. It doesnt seem to be working!!
Me and my mom have been infected, then recovered and today... well both of us are infected again!!! My mom wants to give my baby away. I love her so much, but I also feel helpless now. I wish I could help her...
Please help me to get an solution? I had her at the other vet (only 2 in the country where I live) and due to her getting 2 injections already she doesnt want to treat her!!!!!!
What to do? |
Why is the vet *not* using Oral medication (ie, pills/meds by mouth) to treat the ringworm? This dog should be on an anti-fungal, such as Diflucan, for 6-8wks (as long as this is an otherwise healthy dog), then they have to reculture the dog to see/prove whether or not the ringworm fungus is still present on the dog.
How does the vet know "she is getting better"? Because ringworm can't be evaluated, after treatment, just by a visual check.
Also, what are these injections?
