Question
I got the probiotics and have been using antifungal pledgets that I had from a month or two ago. Also using cortisone cream for the skin out breaks.
I think he is scratching less, but I don't know for sure. Skin is clearing so I think we are on the right track.
Do you have a guess at how long it will take?  I saw some products on the web that said it takes a month.

Thanks so much for the help. Tigger thanks you too!

Answer
Karen,

Great to hear.  It will not hurt to keep him on probiotics.  They are of benefit anytime.  You should be able to use the antifungal until you think it is cleared up, without any problems too.

I would only use cortisone cream when absolutely necessary.

I would use the first two at least a week or two after it is cleared up.  Not sure how long.  It depends on how bad the problem was.
