Ketoconazole

My dog Bailey just died today. He was on Ketoconazole, and developed pancreatitis and diabetes. We took him back to the Vet to put him on fluids and insulin. He was at the Vet overnight, when they called in the morning to say he develope a fever of 109 and to come in because he would die soon. He was only 9yrs old and was a great companion. We should put a class action suit against the drug company that makes Ketconazole.

My pekingese mix was prescribed Ketoconozole three days ago but after her third dose today (100 mgs 2x daily) I think I'm going to stop giving it to her. She has developed a nagging cough, which she has NEVER had before since she started taking this medicine. I'm worried that the long-term side effects will be much worse than this cough we're experiencing. I don't know what I'll do about the yeast infection in her ears but we'll just have to find something else!

My 8 year old standard poodle was prescribed ketoconazole to suppress a chronic yeast outbreak in his ears. His liver would not tolerate it. I pilled him once. He vomited bile. That was the end of that.

I had a similar problem with Ketoconazole as my Shar Pei had a terrible case of yeast. I stopped the medication after his underbelly started spotting black. After scouring the internet I found the website nzymes.com. It took over 1 year to completely clear up the yeast using their protocol and only feeding him a protein diet (I still cook chicken and spinach for him). I recommend anyone who has a yeast problem with with pet to start them on this protocol.
