Imaverol washes (Active ingredient: Enilconazol) -the dog ringworm treatment is highly effective against malassezia. 3 to 4 washes every 3 days will do it. Leave the Imaverol on, don't wash it off :)

i took on a stray that came into work a year agao, she has this problem too, her coat was awfull, dull greasy, and smelld yeasty, and she was diagnosed with malaseezia (sorry bout spelling) i bath her once a month for 2 weeks with malaseb which helps, she also has evening primrose and starflower capsules added to her food, her coat is really good at the moment, i did try mirracoat too but it didnt work,

What needs to be considered is the dog is in sa and the other unknown factor may well be a local problem that does not appear here on mud island. That of course does not mitigate the way it is being used which appears to be wrong and the crazy reason it is done at the vets when the person could do it at home and save a fortune.

F10 is a very good antifungal, can be prescribed for at-home use......and should be left on for 15mins for fungicidal action.

we routinely use malaseb baths they work really well, we only bathe them for the owners if they are unable to for some reason

My wee dog gets this on occssion, as a result from her Atopy, anyway she has malaseb baths which can be done at home I might add,when it breaks out and if it's really bad she is prescribed Nizoral.

If she is insured you could ask for a ref. to a skin specalist if she is in the nw you could go to Sue Patterson. Or if down south sure there musty be a decent skin vet down there although the best ones are in the NW but hey ho.

Or on a more serious note could ask for a second opinion there is other skin vets out there or GP vets who deal with skin.
