In fact, many vets tell their clients that it's pretty much a give that yeast will develop following completion of mite treatment.
So, maybe it'd help to do a current skin culture of the skin, grow it out for 10 days and see if yeast is present. If it is, vets here will usually treat systemic yeast w/ Diflucan (fluconazole) for a couple weeks.
I hope you go to that vet derm - vet derms are simply amazing! |
Thanks for this feedback. I have been researching thyroid issues, I am not sure if the fact he humps his blanket a lot is a factor here, he has done this since about 10 weeks old, which seems very young. He is six months old today poor wee thing. The mite treatment has been the most recent but I will talk to the vet about thyroid and yeast next visit.
