Vet Q & A
Is 200mg of Fluconazole for my small cat for 5 days too much?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! What is your Vet trying to treat Mau for? If you are referring to Fluconazole 200mg tablets then yes that is way too much for a 2.9 pound cat. The dose is 5-10mg/kg or for adult cats 50-100mg. I would contact your Vet!

Dog yeast infection: Can I switch Ketoconazole to Fluconazole or add other meds?
Hello and thank you for your post! I have used Fluconazole multiple times for yeast infections and 200mg twice daily is within the dosing range. I would discuss this with your prescribing veterinarian first before switching as different drugs are used in different circumstances. In my experience, Fluconazole has less side effects than Ketoconazole and I prefer Fluconazole. I do not know what concentration your amoxicillin syrup is, but if it is just a yeast infection, an antibiotic like amoxicillin is not going to help. Levofenil is a human product and has not been tested for use in animals, so I would avoid using this solution for treating Milo. I would recommend bathing Milo twice weekly with Duoxo Chlorhexidine PS combination shampoo until resolved. This shampoo will treat bacterial and fungal skin infections and it does so quite well. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns! I am also available via consultation if needed.

Is Fluconazole causing my kitten to itch while treating ringworm?
No the medication itself does not cause pruritis (itching). The ringworm infection however does cause itching, especially as it is healing. Ringworm also is best treated with both a topical and oral medication for faster results. I hope that your furry friend gets rid of this ringworm infection soon! Best wishes and take care.

How do itraconazole and fluconazole compare for pet safety?
Itraconazole has a broader spectrum of activity. This means it can treat a greater number of fungal infections. Both can cause varying degrees of GI upset or liver function issues. Itraconazole is also more expensive than fluconazole.
