What's on her belly?

[Sowa]

It's clearing up. Still a little bit around but for the most part it's doing better.

[Karen]

That's good!

[Freedom]

Sounds like good news!

It is good news if it stays cleared up but I have to agree it does look a lot like a yeast infection to me too. I hope I'm wrong.

This is what Chester looked like when he's had yeast infections. And it does not go away or improve with anything other than ketoconazole.

Clavaseptin is amoxicillin, and is for skin infections. I still think this is a yeast infection.

Since she was prescribed antibiotics, I'm leaning more toward a secondary staph infection that may have been caused by itching due to yeast. We (at my clinic, anyway) don't normally treat yeast infections with antibiotics but tend to use it for staph infections. Staph tends to be characterized by the "crusty" appearance from the first photos posted.

This is absolutely what a yeast infection looks like, and we also treat yeast infections with ketoconazole (sometimes with or without cephalexin/amoxi for a secondary staph infection if present). Notice the difference... no crusty lesions




So glad to hear there is improvement, though!!! Being that itchy is never fun
