I'm a little concerned with the Ketoconazole. I'm going to stop the Ketoconazole and talk to the vet Monday. |
Glad to hear she is feeling a little better.

My yorkie took fluconazole for two years for a fungal infection called Valley Fever. The side effect of loss of appetite went away after a short time. I would advise you to give a liver protectant like denamarin any time you are treating your dog with an antifungal. They are all tough on the liver.
