Pet Forum / Miscellaneous / Animal Health / January 2005Dosage of Lamisil for ringworm.
If anyone has prescribed Lamisil for resistant ringworm, I would appreciate knowing the dosage you used and if it was effective. I can get a prescription for the human drug from my vet, but there seems to be conflicting info on dosage. One site http://www.users.bigpond.com/drdavid/lamisil.htm says to dissolve one pill ( It seems it only comes in 250 mg pills) to make 50 ml of solution and give 1 ml per kg of weight. That would be 250/50 or 5mg per ml if my math hasn't deserted me. Another site http://www.vetinfo.com/cringwrm.html says There is a study in which 15 cats were treated with this medication (Francesca Mancianti, 1999) and 12 did well. These were not cats who had not responded to griseofulvin, though. The dosage used in the study was 30mg/kg/day for two weeks. Another site said 30-40 mg/kg for 90 days. There's a big difference between 5mg/kg/day and 30mg/kg/day. :( BarB PS All the other treatments have been tried including baths,dips, Program, (Itraconazole is more expensive) etc. It will probably clear up by waiting it out, but by that time kittens will be less likely to be adopted. I just had one kitten come back because she broke out again after I thought she was cured on Program, stress perhaps. I suggest you try topical butenafine hydrochloride, marketed as "Lotrimin Ultra". I've found it to be considerably more effective than other antifungals.

It comes in an oil base which my vet feels penetrates the hair better than the creams. Hard to get it into the nail bed though. BarB HOWEDY BarbB, Shouldn't be such a production to get rid of a fungus. "do your shelter a favor and euthanize immediately." Here's HOWER shelter / rescue dog lover sunflHOWER MURDERING a whole "SHELTER" full of critters cause THEY got RING WORM and SHE'S INSANE and a DOG ABUSING COWARD: Subject: Re: Shelter ringworm Date: 2003-09-27 22:22:04 PST HOWEDY Sunflower, > We are learning a hard lesson. We have a ringworm > problem out of control at our shelter. Ringworm is a fungus infection. It DIES pretty EZ if you treat it pupperly. The biggest part of the problem is FINDING it to treat it. The EZ part is it shows up fluorescent green under UV lite. > Instead of being proactive and euthanizing the > 4 that originally had it, You mean KILL critters for havin "athlete's foot?" > we are now having to euthanize 20 THAT'S INSANE!!! > per our municipality's orders "because of public safety". Well, tell them to shove it. Lock the goddamned doors when those cretins come by and go to court and get a restraining order against them barring them from harassing you. What municipality is that, bye the bye. The Puppy Wizard would LOVE to know who they are. > We have had some Program donated to help manage > things, and are planning to treat the remaining 14 that > are asymptomatic under Woods lamp exposure (but > which probably still have it anyway). That's NOT a treatment. Woods lamp is a ultraviolet light for diagnosing it. > This is a hearbreaking No. What's heartbreakin is that you'd tolerate KILLIN your critters cause of a FUNGUS infection. > and expensive lesson for any shelter to learn, Well, you're probably not using the best treatment and you're not knowledgeable enough to be in this business, anyHOWE. > so please please if you do not have a *real* isolation area > or a foster parent willing to take ringworm infected animals > into their home for a complete cure (not just abatement of > the obvious symptoms) then do your shelter a favor and > euthanize immediately. Oh, thank you for the excellent advice! > You may still end up with problems, but not like this. You got any psychiatric help available in your community? The Puppy Wizard recommends you close your "shelter" and GET HOWET of the SHELTER / RESCUE business if you're gonna MURDER the critters that are dependent on your HELP. They'd be better off in traffic. Or, do the only honorable thing and take them all to kat heaven with you and colon wilson and katra. > I just wanted to, well, I don't know what. You know what to do. DO IT. That's the only honorable way to save face. > I'm sad that we have to kill this many animals. No. Sad ain't the problem. You're either STUPID or MENTAL or BOTH. > I'm mad that people's good hearts ruled their heads and > now we have to kill a lot more than we would have. Psst, heal yourself first. Do the right thing. Don't blame STUPID PEOPLE for HELPING sick animals, blame yourself for wantin to KILL THEM for havin a common child's DIS-EASE. > And, I'm even madder that I'm viewed as the bad person Are you in a position to DO sumpthin abHOWET some psychopath AC or health department official who'd probably lose his goddamned job over this if the media ever gets hold of this story??? YOU'RE THE MENTAL CASE who's GONNA KILL them. > in this because euthanasia is what I initially recommended, BWEEAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA A!!! GET HOWETA HERE YOU MISERABLE CRETIN! > and now that my predictions of an epidemic have come > true, all of the people who "just couldn't bear it" if we > killed those cats won't step forward and put a cage of them > in a spare bathroom at their home and treat them themself, Well, you can put them in a few crates and bring them to The Puppy Wizard's HOWES and HE'LL treat them till they're healthy enough for you to MURDER cause you can't find HOWES to keep them. HOWE'S THAT S-HOWEND??? > but once again view me as the bad person INDEEDY. You'd kill critters for havin a fungus infection. > because I'm the only one willing to deal with taking them > in to the vet for euthanasia. You mean to be MURDERED because you're too stupid to deal with a case of ringworm like most every school or camp nurse has treated since the first kid came dHOWEN with it. > And yes, I have a cage of fosters in my garage undergoing > treatment right now. WELL, pull your car inside after filin the tank, and shut the door and run the motor till you've successfully killed all the ringworm. > I can't do it all though. O.K. Let the kats HOWETA the garage before you shut the door and start the engine, kat lover. > And I'm almost bone tired of trying. Well, The Puppy Wizard's ringworm cure is just the medicine for you AIN'T IT, kat lover. Be SHORE to fill the tank, we don't want no accidents that could leave you HURTIN. > Sunflower. Sunflower? Shoulda been named skunk cabbage.

You can probably get everything you need for less than $100 at the co-op, and that included the controller. Just run a strand around the bottom of the fence you already have. It's practically invisible, and boy does it work!

That's IDIOCY. Neutering makes 15% of dogs AGGRESSIVE and does NUTHIN for behavior prolbems. > Sometimes those awakening hormones will > cause "issues" as well as dominance behavior. Only dog abusers and cowards think of puppy humping as dominance. > Optimally, puppies should be spay/neutered > just before they begin to reach sexual maturity That's idiocy. You're a dog abuser and a mental case. > and you'll have less behavior problems. That's a load of crap. ALL behavior problems are caused by MISHANDLING. > Sexual maturity can occur as early as 6 months, That's irrelevent. > and basically is rather like a 13 year old > human who "can", but in no way "should". No, basically it's like a little puppy masturbating. That's none of your business unless you know HOWE to train him not to do that. You don't. Neither does professor SCRUFF SHAKE, so you shouldn't feel like you're the only dog abusin imbecile here abHOWETS. That all you got to say? Just neuter the pup and that'll FIX it? Suppose it doesn't? Then what you gonna tell him, get rid of the dog like you've told a other poster for a separation anxiety problem??? You're a MENTAL CASE. You think you're some sort of shelter / rescue saviour. All you know is HURT and KILL and MUTILATE and AVOID behaviors you can't train and blame the dog or breed for you not bein able to HOWEtwit the cunning of the domestic puppy dog. You can't post here abHOWETS noMOORE. The Puppy Wizard. <{} ; ~ ) > >Shouldn't be such a production to get rid of a fungus. It isn't. I have a beautiful kitten, very adoptable, a Snowshoe with the sweetest personality that we rescued from a shelter which euthanizes for ringworm. About a week on Lamisil at 5 mg/lb and she shows no signs under the Woods light and the hair is starting to growing back. I wish I could take them all. BarB |
