What are generic alternatives to Miconahex+Triz for dog paw yeast?

Miconazole is an antifungal and would be effective against yeast. I would not recommend using any topical medication unless it has been recommended by your veterinarian. Clobetasone is a corticosteroid and would not be recommended for some dogs.

Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend using the below products and if no improvement, I would suggest asking your veterinarian about an oral antifungal drug such as Fluconazole to help treat the yeast infection. All of the below products can be found online quite easily. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns. 1. Douxo PS Chlorhexidine combination shampoo and bathe twice weekly until resolved 2. Malacetic conditioning spray and apply to affected areas twice daily until resolved

Yes can be used but only supervision of your local veterinarian (which should have establish diagnosis first). If not working in 5-7 days a systemic or different treatment should be considered. Please do not hesitate to contact us again on the forum or by requesting a consultation if you have any more questions or to discuss it any further.

Good question. I recommend washing and soaking her feet in an antifungal shampoo, or a dilute iodine solution (that may cause fur discoloration). I would do this once daily for a week or so. If it’s not improving please take her on for an exam. They may do skin cytology to determine if it’s yeast only or if there is bacteria or mites adding to the problem. Then they can give the appropriate oral medication to clear this up. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Roxy.

No, I would not use these on Bruno. First off, it's not safe to self treat your animal, as you may accidentally do more harm than good. Secondly, the common meds used to treat yeast infections in dogs include miconazole, itraconazole, and ketoconazole, which can only be prescribed by your vet. Finally, there are other causes for itching and redding skin in paws, such as allergies, and the underlying cause of this behavior needs to be diagnosed in order to be treated correct. If you are concerned that Bruno has a yeast infection, I would take him into the vet for an exam to confirm that he does have one, and the vet can prescribe an appropriate treatment for him.

Place an e-collar (cone) on Puppers to prevent further licking. This may be enough to allow healing but if not, wash the affected paw with a mild antibacterial soap or a diluted chlorhexidine solution. Dry thoroughly and apply plain cornstarch between the toes to keep the area dry.

Snoopy's skin issues could be a result of allergies or even systemic diseases (such as Cushing's disease or hypothyroidism) that can compromise the immune system and weaken the skin barrier to infection. Some yeast infections can be managed with prescription-based shampoos containing climbazole, ketoconazole, or other antifungals. To my knowledge, there are no safe and effective over the counter anti-fungal shampoos for dogs. Your vet should be able to prescribe an appropriate shampoo for Snoopy. I realize that you are unable to medicate Snoopy, but realize that some skin yeast infections do not respond to topical medications or shampoos alone and require oral antifungal medications. Hopefully this won't be an issue for her. I hope that she's on the mend soon!
