Yeast Infection?
Submitted by Tommy647 on July 30, 2011 - 9:57pmHi,

It seems like Boozer has developed yeast infection in his rope and wrinkles around the nose. I am really hoping it didn't caused by the Acana Pacifica since he has been on it for 5 weeks and was doing great, but due to the fact it was so hot hear and someone was cooling him down with cold water on a daily bases, it seems like it got trapped in the wrinkles and it was very moist the other day. I clean it 3-4 times a day now and dry it out, if it doesn't get any better I will take him to the vet.
Any home remedy for this?
Thanks,
Tom and Boozer
We use Malaseb for yeasty infections...
you can buy it in spray form and spray on a cottong pad and then clean the wrinkles. After they are dry, dust with gold bond powder. You can probably get malaseb from any vet's office, I order it online at EntirelyPets.com which is cheaper even accounting for shipping costs. Be careful not to irritate it by overcleaning.
Yeast infection
Over the counter medication is called "Canesten" found in the female section for women's yeast infections. Get the cream not the tablet....I use it when Emma has been playing in the lake and get yeast infection in her wrinkles. Works great.
Forgot
Add Bio-K (probiotic) to his meals. I give Emma one tablespoon a day.
Thanks a lot! I dried it out
Thanks a lot! I dried it out a few times yesterday using baby wipes and corn starch, and diaper rash cream. It looks much better now, still pink but not row. Thanks again.

We have used
vagisil wipes for this issue too. They are easy to find and smell good!
