maltese skin condition ; Maltese NuVet Plus supplement;

Question
Been taking temaril-P twice a day for 1 week for allergic skin.  Has been chewing on paws, and vet diagnosed yeast infection and prescribed ketoconazole orally, which he said frequently causes vomiting and/or diarrhea; I really don't want to give him another oral med.  He has only eaten Royal Canine dog food for small dogs since he was born, has small firm stools which have no odor.  Any suggestions?

Hi Marlene, I have a little Maltese, too!
The Temaril-P is ok for short term usage.
Here is my itchy dog suggestions....

1.  give a 50 IU of Vitamin E  ( 1 per day)  IT is very hard to find such a small dosage of Vit E in the stores: YOU may have to special order it.  ( ON-line or ask CVS or Walgreens to order it for you.... NO more than 50 IU per day ...
Long term -

2. Next, Give this baby some NuVET Plus - 1 wafer per day:  YUM YUM good - Allergy blaster and immune system booster.

3.  Wipe the paws - EVERY time he comes in from outside - With an Unscented baby wipe " huggies " one of the good brands for human babies.
He may be allergic to dirt, pollen or even grass.

As for Yeast/ The NuVET will help with that.
NuVET is not sold in stores/  HOLISTIC and only sold thru Holistic vets and the manufacturer.

The Royal Canine is not the problem --- sounds all Environmental
