Are you able to convert this medication to an oral suspension equivalent that allows for 14mg/daily dosing? If so, what is the pricing??
-
https://www.vetrxdirect.com/product/view/ketoconazole-suspension-compounded-for-pets/variation-12738 This link will bring up our 50 mg/ml compounded suspension. Using 0.28 ml from a 50 mg/ml suspension is equivalent to 14 mg. This produces roughly 3 doses per ml. Depending on how many doses you will need, you may pick from various sizes to fit your needs. Prices and sizes are included in the "product selection" drop down menu of this page.

Will giving my dog, Yorkie, 13 lbs., only 1/4 of a Ketoconazole pill twice a day help her with yeast infection??
-
Ketoconazole is an azole antifungal medication commonly used to treat a variety of systemic fungal infections. The type and severity of fungal infection will determine the dose, frequency of administration and duration of therapy in your dog. In general, a 50mg dose of ketoconazole twice daily for a 13 lb dog would fall into an acceptable range of dosing depending on the diagnosis from your veterinarian. It is important to report any adverse events and keep all laboratory appointments if ordered by your veterinarian.

Ketoconazole generally causes adverse effects such as loss of appetite, vomiting, and diarrhea, so the lack of appetite and thirst may be caused from the extra dose. Monitor your pet’s symptoms and inform your dog's veterinarian as soon as you are able to do so. Thank you, VetRxDirect
