My dog keeps licking his red paws. Could this be a yeast infection?

Question

Is it Preferable to give FLUCONAZOLE along with CETRIZINE in order to treat yeast infection that is present between the paws where bruno continusouly licks and stops for few days and again start licking the area and makes that area red in color. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | unneutered | 1 year old

Dr. Melanie, BVSc MS · Accepted Answer

Only your vet can make the decision if it is acceptable or not to use Fluconazole with cetrizine with Bruno. Cetrizine is an antihistamine which is primarily used in humans, so it would be considered off label use in dogs. Because of this, only a vet who has a client patient relationship can safe if it is okay to use in a particular animal, and that is impossible to achieve this relationship via an internet forum. I recommend taking Bruno into the vet to discuss the use of these drugs together.
