Ashley Bourgeois, DVM, Dip ACVD

Another episode of DDD (Down and Dirty Derm)! I address one of the most common questions asked on social media. Every time I show a picture of an infected clawfold... "Do you treat this yeast overgrowth systemically or topically?". 

As with any derm topic, IT DEPENDS! I go over the factors that guide my decisions in these cases. Infection severity, patient acceptance, owner ability, recheck cytology, etc. These are all important and discussed in this quick episode!
