FAQS

1. Which tablet is best for dog skin infection?

The best dog medicine for skin infection depends on the infection type. For bacterial infections, veterinarians often prescribe Cephalexin or Clindamycin, while Ketoconazole or Fluconazole are commonly used for fungal infections. Always consult a vet for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

2. How long does it take for a dog’s skin infection to heal?

Healing can vary depending on the cause. With the correct dog skin infection treatment, you might see improvement within a week. However, full recovery—especially in chronic or fungal cases—can take 3–6 weeks. Using the right antifungal cream for dogs or medicated shampoos consistently is key.

3. Can a dog’s skin infection spread to other pets or humans?

Yes, especially fungal infections like ringworm, which are highly contagious. While bacterial infections are generally less infectious, maintaining good hygiene, isolating the pet when necessary, and following the vet’s instructions are crucial.

4. What types of skin infections can these treatments help with?

Virbac’s dermatological range targets a variety of skin issues including:

  • Canine Dermatitis
  • Fungal Infections (e.g., ringworm)
  • Parasitic Dermatitis (caused by mites or lice)
  • Hot Spots and Moist Dermatitis
