    Yes, I will be sure to keep you posted. The vetricyn has helped, one eye is almost perfect and the other is not so goopy. His eyes have not been sealed shut in the mornings anymore. I just purchased some nutri-drench.... would this be good to dose him individually? If I am reading the...

    Thank you, I will certainly keep you posted. You can give them the clotrimazole cream orally? How much do you give? You just take it from the tube and put it in their mouth? Should I give her the clotrimazole orally and forgo the oral nystatin?

    Thank you for the suggestion twocrows! I put clotrimazole on her skin, and the scales came off almost immediately... what a huge difference! I only put it on her face, head, and neck and all the yellow crusties came right off. Nice healthy black skin underneath those yucky scales. I wish I...
