Question
My name is vinay. I have a dog named gunda. Its coussing from fungus infection in his finger. Wht i do for this problem wht the medicine for this plz suggest me

Answer
I am not sure why you think the problem is caused by a fungus. Bacterial infections often look very similar. for this case, I would suggest you go to an integrative veterinary clinic to get a diagnosis and holistic treatment plan.

Many of the holistic treatments for "fungus" can cause some harm if used incorrectly, so I would not suggest using them without first getting a diagnosis(needs a culture).

I strongly recommend finding an integrative veterinarian with whom to work. This is a person trained in many different approaches, including using conventional drugs only when absolutely needed. Working with one can increase the chance that your cherished companion can live a long and healthy life after recovering from this current problem. There are good ones and great ones, and a few homeopathic veterinarians will consult by phone or email. Read my comments at the end on working with and selecting a holistic veterinarian.
You can go to the web sites for each type of holistic practice and use their referral list to find one near to you:
1. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine: www.IVAS.org & www.TCVM.com
2. Homeopathic veterinarians (these can often help you by phone if no other holistic practitioners are nearby that you like): www.theAVH.org and www.DrPitcairn.com. To find homeopathic practitioners for yourself, and homeopathic products, go to
