Clinical particulars
Target species
Rabbits, guinea pigs, rodents, birds and reptiles.
Indications for use
Prevents and treats common fungal infections of the skin such as Candida spp, Malassezia pachydermatis and Dermatophytosis (ringworm) caused by, Microsporum spp., or Trichophyton spp. Mycozole will also treat bacterial infections of the skin caused by Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas spp. and others susceptible to imidazole type drugs.
Contra-indications
For external use only. May irritate the eye. Do not apply to or around the eyes.
Special precautions for use
If you are uncertain about the condition of your pet, consult a veterinary surgeon. If symptoms persist, consult a veterinary surgeon.
Use during pregnancy and lactation
No data available. Do not use in pregnant or lactating animals.
Interactions
None known. Do not use in conjunction with any other medicine.
Amounts to be administered and administration route
Weigh animal carefully before administration to accurately assess the appropriate dose. Remove drinking water before use and replace with fresh water after application. Treat all animals in a group concurrently. Spray twice daily at a distance of 5 to 10 cm from the animal, ensuring that the product reaches the skin. In mammals and birds this will require lifting the fur or feathers to expose the skin surface. Do not use in animals less than 100g bodyweight. Continue application at this rate until the skin condition improves, but not longer than 7 days. If signs of disease persist beyond 7 days or reappear, then advice must be sought from a veterinary surgeon.
