My dog's pyoderma is back. Can I order his meds online without a vet?
Thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach with your question about Bruno. I'm sorry he has been having problems with his skin again. Unfortunately we cannot give a prescription for these medications, it's illegal for us to do so without seeing him in person. You will need a prescription to get these medications, and in order to get that, you will have to take him into the vet. I'd make an appointment for him to be seen in the next couple of days. Best of luck.

Is Fluticasone/mupirocin ointment effective for kitten mange?
Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Fluticasone is a steroid so it only relieves the desire to scratch. Mupirocin is an antibiotic. Mange is due to a mite. The above ointment may make the skin feel better but it will not kill the mites. I hope this helps!

We don't sell prescription drugs here since we are only a consulting forum. However, if you want to do comparison prices for drugs then the best resource is https://www.goodrx.com OR calling the pharmacy of your choosing directly. I wish you all the best and hope that you can find an affordable price for your pets medication. Take care!

Can I safely buy my dog's prescription eye medication online?
Hopefully it is the same medication, although there have been lawsuits about mislabeled and counterfeit medications with online pharmacies. Also, you do need a prescription from your veterinarian in order to purchase these products. I would recommend visiting with your veterinarian, as there is a possibility they may price match for you. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.

My horse has persistent rain rot or mud fever, what to do?
This may have started as rain rot but now it looks like there is a secondary infection. I recommend cleaning the area with iodine solution twice daily and keeping him out of tall wet grass or brush which can aggravate this. You can use fly leg protectors to keep flies off it and protect the areas. I do recommend a veterinary exam and treatment since he may need antibiotics or antifungal medication to get this resolved. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for your horse.
