My cat has miliary dermatitis. What's a good treatment and flea prevention?
Hello, thank you for using PetCoach! Here is a link explaining more about miliary dermatitis. I cannot tell if that is exactly the problem based on that one photo. ( https://www.petcoach.co/cat/condition/feline-miliary-dermatitis/ ) For a cat, I would use this leave on mousse product as treatment. I would apply it once a day in the beginning and once the clinical signs start to dissipate you can then go to every 2 or 3 days. Continue use until all the bumps on the skin are gone. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-6673-douxo-chlorhexidine-climbazole-mousse-for-dogs-and-cats-68-oz.aspx?SearchTerm=duoxo%20mousse+Auto ) A good over the counter flea prevention for cats is Cheristin. I would apply the Cheristin and then wait 24 hours before bathing or using any topical products. If the miliary dermatitis is from fleas, you need to apply this EVERY month. If you are having a flea problem then you definitely should treat the environment for fleas as well, otherwise you have a major infestation in your house. I think this product is the best.

My cat is itching and losing hair near his ears and eyes. Vet or OTC?
Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. Based on your description and the pictures you have provided, this sounds as though Boba may be dealing with an allergy. There is nothing concerning in the pictures. It is difficult to say what the cause is as there are so many things that can cause allergies. I would recommend by starting with the below recommended products. If there is no improvement, I would recommend having Boba examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. He may need prescription medication to help with the main problem. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further. 1. Welactin omega 3 fish oil capsules for cats 2. Douxo PS Calm shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 3. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to the affected areas until resolved. 4. Essential 6 spot on by Dermoscent

What are generic alternatives to Miconahex+Triz for dog paw yeast?
I don't think you will find a generic that contains the TrizEDTA component, but you could certainly try any of the pet wipes that contain chlorhexidine and miconazole. Search for these wipes on amazon or chewy or your favorite pet store and you will see similar options.

My cat has a UTI. Can I change her medicine schedule for travel?
Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! While it is not ideal to do that, if she has been getting that medication for a good bit now, doing it once daily instead of twice daily for 1 day should not affect things much. Have a good night!

My cat's diarrhea and vomiting returned. Can I use old antibiotics?
I don;t recommend to start an antibiotic unless it is confirmed there is a bacterial or protozoal problem. When antibiotics are used without just cause, that's how antibiotic resistance can develop. Here is a link about vomiting: https://www.petcoach.co/article/vomiting-in-cats/ Have Zuma examined again if needed. I hope he feels better quickly!
