So Mimzy has been dealing with a number of issues lately that he's been taking baytril for almost two months again. We are now rounding off that medication, but as he continues to have trouble with a waxy/yeasty buildup in his ears, his vet has given him ketoconazole orally to try and clear them up.
She is not on staff for the rest of the month as she attends uni, so I thought I'd come here and see what advice I might stir up regarding the ketoconazole...I have used it on my dog, Jenna, with disastrous results (too much for her liver she vomited several times and had tenderness in her abdomen after one dose)...we've used ear drops on Mimzy with ketoconazole in them and he's not really responded, so I am wondering, with 0.4 mls metacam twice a day, the 0.1 ml baytril twice a day until it is gone (perhaps another week?) and now adding the specially compounded 1 ml ketoconazole...could this be too much for his system? What should I look for if he's having a reaction? And can the keto be safely given at the same time I dose him with his other meds or should I separate the doses? (He only needs it once a day I think.) Also is it okay to give it with food or should I not do?
Many thankies in advance! xx
