Does my dog need Augmentin and Terbinafine for ringworm, or just one?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Male | 4 years and 5 months old

Does these both medicine augmentin and terbinafine work together in order to clear up and treat the ringworm fungal bacterial infection ? Can’t single terbinafine treat it on its own ?

Terbinafine works only against fungal infections and augmentin works only against bacterial infections. If your dog has mixed bacterial and fungal infection, he needs both of the antibiotics a the same time.
