fungus is some sort of white white dandruff.. all puppies might have this skin problem.. can be solved easily if your bro take good care of the pup.. remember when bath the pup, bath thoroughly.. maybe you left some spot with shampoo not washed off.. then got fungus lo..

when my pup has this skin problem, i didnt use any other shampoo, just use fido..wash few times then cure already..
remember to rinse thoroughly.. if not, if the condition worse, need to shave botak..

Where ur puppy stay?

is he sleeping at wet places?

The most common fungus is ring worm. If you do not follow the treatment well, it can go on and on without vanishing.

There are a few steps you must take.

Wash all the towels, cage, brush and comb with a mixture of 1 small cap of Bleach with 1 pail of water. Detol would not help. Fungus is a spore, like a mushroom. Bleach can kill the spore. Certain fungus can pass on to humans as I have experienced this before with cats. It will cause rashes or itchy areas which will turn pinkish at first, then it will become flaky, then it spreads.

Follow the medicine on time. Fungus can be wet and once it dries up, it will break, causing the spores to spread on the body. The medication helps by drying up the fungus and killing it before it releases the spores.

The shampoo helps in reducing skin irritation and itching. There are cheaper anti-fungal shampoo.... I think McLee's is only RM17. As long the shampoo contains sulfur, it helps to reduce the fungal infection and soothes the skin.

hey.. Belle has like pimples like dots(some with pus) on her tummy area, and reddish skin at her armpit.. what is that? worried

Your dog could be reacting to someting.... shampoo not wash off completely or food or something on the place that she sleeps in.... This is a bit common in puppies... but if you are worried.... can seek a vet's consultation... only less than RM30 mah.
Bleach.... is... erm.... Clorox... to make shirt white white.... It's a clear liquid, no colour. Sell to wash clothes.

The shampoo from the vet, is good. Use it for about 3 weeks and see, if you do not see improvement, seek another vet.

Yes, Fungus likes to grow and spread on wet areas.... must always keep the legs dry. Don't you use hair dryer on Toro after bath?

har,can use d washing bleach hor?   

bt nvm,now i using d medicien from vet 1st,then c how d result...

everytime after bath for him,will use d hair dryer2 let him dry,

bt d part of leg must dry it around 15 minute   

wanna ask so,when using d hair dryer dry thier fur,

normally i need2 dry around 15 minute jz can let his fur dry,

d puppy will fell very hot o not?

is it ok o not?

Yes... but only use to wash the cage and floor and towel lah.... cannot wash dog with it hahahah.

You must not use the hot hair dryer.... if yours is hot, put the dryer far away, like 1.5ft away.... he will feel very hot and can burn his skin.

wah... toro is cute!! His colour is superb !!!  Why his eyes there wet wet one?? Tear huh ?

ahseng84,
ur shihtzu is so cute,
how old is ur furkid. ^^ so adorable

ahseng84, you use bowl for water huh?  Try and use water bottle lor .  My pup is using water bottle and his moustache's always dry and clean EXCEPT AFTER HE MAKAN, then become dirty and messy again.

My shih tzu also drink form bottle one, and after drinking or eating, will be wet and messy also.
I think becoz of their face lah......flat mah, and they always like to lick lick their nose.....
