That stuff is highly medicinal smelling but it didn't seem to burn him or anything - he's had no reaction so far. I'll use the coconut oil on his pawpads when it arrives, too, and put some on his underbelly and a tiny bit to start on his food at first to be sure it doesn't kick off his IBS or anything. Been reading up a bit on the Convenia, too, and it seems an accepted protocol to use in yeasty skin infections! Who knew? I'm just hoping and praying it doesn't cause a wide-spread yeast overgrowth but obviously the vet weighed that in, as much as I questioned her before I gave my okay. https://www.zoetisus.com/products/co.../convenia.aspx
I checked him over this morning - no hot spots at all remain, thank goodness. His ears are not smelly either. |
I have had many pups with bacterial and fungal infections (Cody was the worst), but this is very common with allergy pups. I have
never had a problem with antibiotics causing any type of overgrowth of yeast.
