They may also recommend some prescriptive creams and washes. I prefer the pills over topical bc what about the areas you can't see/miss?
The Ketoconazole has a lot of side effects. I just started giving the liquid form of this to my 15 week old and 2 lbs and 7 oz. tiny yorkie. It went OK for 10 days and then he started having bad stomach problems. Very loose stools and throwing up. I was so disappointed that I could not use it any more. It is also very pricie about $40.00 for two weeks. He has about about 5 spots on him the size of quarters. I have not been able to control it with the cream vet prescribed.. It is just horrible!!
