Hi, my dog has yeasty paws n chin. A pet recommended topigen for tropical use. However she prescribe the mec to us without looking at our dog. Is it safe to use? Or should I just discard it.
How do you know it is yeast? It could be something else if a culture has not been done, and if the vet didn’t look at your dog, she sure didn’t do a culture. I wouldn’t try to treat this condition in a hit or miss manner, I would find a vet that will really look at my dog, do a culture to discover if it is yeast, a skin scrape to make sure it isn’t mange, and then make a proper diagnosis.

Oh, in the mean time, get your dog onto a grain-free diet – if it is yeast the grain-free diet may help greatly!
