Yeast dermatitis infections can be treated with oral or topical treatments, or a combination of both based on the severity of your dog’s condition.
These medications are highly effective, though they must be given for a prolonged period (often several months).
Staph infections are typically treated with oral antibiotics.
Antibacterial shampoo or topical ointments can be used for these types of skin conditions.
Depending on the severity of the infection, treatment may take several weeks to have an effect.
Because staph infections can be passed between dogs and from dogs to humans, extra care should be taken when handling and treating your dog.
Discuss any supplements or medications your dog is currently taking with your veterinarian so he or she can choose the best treatment for your pet’s individual circumstances while helping to reduce the risk of a potential interaction between drugs.
