lana Calabasas, CA 4/15/2011 7:39:31 PM excellent article; my dog has a skin disorder, it is not improving so I was looking up the antibiotice that the vet prescribed to learn if it was for skin disorders. It is cephalexin; I learned a lot from the article.
MOSES CHAPI LAGOS, LA 8/24/2008 12:09:14 PM most pyodermas are responsive to broad spectrum antibiotics. If a dog does not respond over a considerable length of time, chances are you might be dealing with other forms of skin infections; dermatomycosis, mange, vitamin deficiency, hormonal imbalance, metabolic disorders, allergies, amongs others. A serial lab test is required for effective diagnosis. Since most skin infections result in secondary bacterial infection, bacterial culture alone is not enough to establish a diagnosis. Just my own little contribution on the subject matter.
