So it appears I am dealing with a yeast infection in the facial folds and nose rope. I unfortunately believe I caused this with a veggie melody I made duchess while switching her from natures variety frozen raw to homemade raw diet. [MENTION=5186]porkysmamma[/MENTION] suggested monistat 7 and it was working then all the sudden over night, after feeding the veggie melody, both face folds and nose rope were very,very red and irritated. I called my vet and he said get duoxo pads.,tonight is the first night I am using them. I am going to call back in the morning and see if he will give me a prescription for panalog cream as I am out of town and can't go for office visit. Any other suggestions that might work until I get back home, if he won't give me panalog prescription.

I asked a very similar question today and [MENTION=2]desertskybulldogs[/MENTION] recommended Malacetic Ultra as well as the Panalog.

[MENTION=5580]elearn[/MENTION] from what I understand malacetic wipes are no longer available duoxo pads are similar. Panalog ointment is also not available. 1800petmeds.com has a generic for it though. It's just getting a prescription while out of town that is tricky.

Ahh OK. I have the Duoxo pads, but they didnt seem to work too well. However, I've seen some stuff in the grocery store called Hibiclens that has the same stuff as the Duoxo pads, except it is a little stronger. I was wondering if that would work, and surely enough a few days later someone here on EBN suggested using Hibiclens as a replacement for Duoxo pads (its cheaper too).

[MENTION=4706]RaRett[/MENTION] thanks for the link. Are these better than duoxo pads? I could find an ingredient list.

I use this every day ( malacetic ultra or the regular) and my puppy goes NUTTS. He will run around like it is stinging him or something. If I just use something like Epi octic it doesnt seem to bother him but for some reason that Malaectic on his face folds and rope makes him run around the room for a bit. Hero

I love the Malacetic Wipes and Yes, they are like baby wipes. Tank's nose dimples got really irritated. I didn't realize they were so deep and had not been very diligent about cleaning them. Bad Momma! Called the vet for Panalog and was told they don't sell that any longer. He recommended Duoxo pads which cleared it up quickly, but they are pretty expensive for everyday use. 30 pads for $29 from vet and $16 on Amazon. The Malacetic Wipes are $15 on Amazon for 100 and they work just as well for every day face and body wipes and they do smell like Apricots! :)

I think she is getting ready to go into heat. Could this be a contributing factor to yeast build up?
