izit got fungus?

Thanks...but not too sure. Me now applying a cream for him. Its actually for my dogs who gets itch n spots occasionally...it helps abit wen me checked last night...n I decided to apply on alternate days cos I wonder is the cream too strong for him so alt days is a better bet.
Wat will vets do if its fungals? Give creams n antibiotic?
I will monitor him for a few days if condition did not improve then I'll bring him to the vet.
I hope it does cos the cream is an anti-fungal n anti-bacterial cream...

Last time my chin had fungus, was prescribed an oral medication by the vet. But must keep going back to the vet for repeat check up and more medication if the fungus is not totally cured. That can get expensive. The vet I went to was from PRC. Anyway, now, for fungus cases that are not so serious, I use a powder bought from Guardian pharmacy. Called Daktarin. Very effective, they also have a cream version. I'm using the powder version for my chins. If you prefer cream, can get that kind. It's good for preventing fungus as well.

Hehe..thanks for all ur advice.
Chino went to the vet sum time ago...and I was told it was fur-mites.
Me almost tot it was fungals. So Dr put sum medication on him, n now he was well. But i spray the anti mite spray in cage n once every 2 weeks on him. Should be fine right? I dare not spray too often leh. Its insecticide after all.. But so far so gud, his mites didnt cum back as no more scaly skin or ears
