Ah yes, I did see their different products too! They seem to be mostly for dogs - I thought it was interesting that they advise not to use their mousse on cats because they tend to lick themselves, but I've read that Chlorexidine is pretty safe for ingestion if you don't overdo it. So much so that in smaller concentrations it's used to clean cats' teeth. But I don't understand it very well so I wouldn't risk it... the shampoo I have is an even higher concentration and, mercifully, he's never reacted poorly to it. I've certainly not overused it.Well, he still looks very handsome! I have DouxoS3 on a dog with pressure sores, prescribed by his vet, and I was happy with it. They do sell slightly different products, but similar as I recall, and I believe that the pads you have are for fungal conditions so hopefully they will work. Can you tell the French vet that you want to give this a trial period?
The vet is meant to call by Wednesday if the test results point towards a fungal infection. She asked me to send her a picture 10 days after Convenia, which would be 8 days from now, for an update. I suppose I could ask for a trial period for Duoxo S3 + the shampoo if by the time she calls it looks significantly better than it did when she last saw him, otherwise I think I wouldn't feel confident in doing so.
One thing the brazilian vet mentioned is that it's a very good sign he's not itchy, she says that a fungal infection itches a lot (which I can actually attest to, having had to deal with one myself about 5 months ago - I was miserable). I've kept a close eye on him since my arrival and he doesn't touch his face except for the regular grooming, which he's never overdone. Also, regardless of what it is, it has not spread. He's had it for about a month now and it's been on the same area of his nose and above his mouth. These are making me hopeful.
