It is a Pain!!!! If it is make sure you give them the treatment on a daily basis. Bella is currently on medication for it and has been for a long while. It was first diagnosed incorrectly on her and it got worse, by the time she got treated she had many patches on her.
Best adivce, is to have a set time when you will be giving them treatments. Once in the morning and once in the evening. We were adviced to do it twice a day for a whole month, with a shower every three days until they are getting better, in which we are to leave the medicated shampoo for 10 minutes, so if its cold where you live, its best if you have a heater around cause they do get cold when waiting for those 10 minutes to go by.
Also, her oral medication she may not like it. Bella really detest it and we had to force feed it to her in the beginning. It works best if you have something to mix it with. For example we smush a banana and mix it with the medication and viola! So try different fruits or mixes. It didn't work with baby food, so find out what fits your pup
We would have been finished with her treatment but the wifey and I missed two patches that were hidden behind her ears, so we have now treat those. Lucky for us we never got infected. Good luck and hope its not ringworm. |
