Polyvac or Benzoic acid & iodine? - Page 1

regarding our 8 month old male GSD with skin problems - currently diagnosed (by 2 independent vets) as a fungal infection

Following all the comments received we have followed them up and are now in the position of the man with 2 watches who never knows what the time is! We have reverted to his pre-problem diet but would appreciate any further comments regarding the 2 recommendations received from vets:

1. 3 injections of Polyvac TM c. No. 3 over 3 weeks with all over washes every other day for a fortnight (though the instructions suggest 4 applications at 3 or 4 day intervals) with a 20ml to 1 litre of water solution of Imaverol (broad spectrum antimycotic, active ingredient enilconazole).

2. 3 injections of Imaverol over three weeks wih up to 1/3 of the body being sprayed every day for 10 days with a tincture of benzoic acid, aspirin and iodine.

Vet number 1 says Imaverol solution is much better than the tincture and vet number 2 says the injections of Imaverol are better than Polyvac. What we are doing at the moment is following vet number 1 but spraying the worst parts with the tincture on the day between sprays.

Anyone with any experience of either or both of these regimens?

Thanks, Fred.
