Davis Miconazole Pet Shampoo, 12 Oz

Effective. I used it on my guinea pigs for ringworms and it was highly effective. Washed them every 2-3 days and I could see improvement after every wash. Now I have it on my guinea pig first-aid kit. Recommend

The products which I received has leakage. I tried to return it but it says item not eligible for return. It’s so unfair if the supplier will mot replace my product since it is a bit pricey.

Nice quality shampoo for dogs, nice smelling

So I was dubious about how effective this product would be for hamsters, esp since hamsters and baths are like oil and water. But the description said it was good for even these little guys. About a month ago, I noticed that my hamster had dandruff - which is something I've never seen on hamsters before. He was also scratching himself raw, which made some bits of his fur fall out. I suspected a fungal infection, but I couldn't get him in to see a vet until over a week later. So I decided to try this shampoo out in the meantime. Let me tell you, it's not an easy task trying to keep a hamster still for 10mins to lather the shampoo in. It's also really important to keep them warm during this process. I held him close in my hands to keep the warmth in and to prevent him from trying to lick himself. Also, after I rinsed him off, I partly used a blow dryer on the lowest warm setting and held it far enough away so that the air wouldn't burn his delicate skin. You also want to direct the air flow from behind so that it didn't blow in its face. Then I used a fine dog comb to gently take out the shed hair and dandruff - which also helped to dry him off. The best time for me to do all this was during the day when he was already calm and sleepy. I didn't notice anything until about the 4th day, when the dandruff looked smaller, the itching decreased and his skin looked less scaley. I still had concerns about regularly bathing him, but my vet said that the shampoo is less intrusive on the hamsters' health than having to take a strong antifungal medicine orally - which makes sense. She encouraged me to continue the shampoo for a few more times and see if my hamster continued to improve. The vet didn't suspect ringworm, but perhaps an allergy to his bedding or pollen (??). I definitely suspected a mild case of ringworm, b/c he had a UTI and URI as well. But in any case, this stuff worked so well!!! It was gentle on my little guy and I used a good amount to lather him up. It also smelled good. It wasn't overpowering at all or had a chemical stench. In fact, he pretty much smelled like his usually self, but nicer. I've shampooed him only 4 times since I've received it (doing it every 3 days) and he looks great. He's back to his normal self. Whatever skin condition your pet has, this will help. And it is safe enough to use - even on a 160gram, delicate, litte hammie.

So my husband and I decided that since we can't get a cat or dog at our current apartment, we'd get two pet rats. Well, everything was great until about a week later I had ringworm all over my hands and arms. One of our rats had ringworm, which spread to the other rat and, in turn, to me! I found absolutely nothing meant specifically for rats online, and Google the All-knowing was even telling me to use the same cream I was using on my own ringworm for them. For those with furry animals of any kind, you know that's not an easy option, especially when you're not positive where the ringworm is exactly on their bodies and if they'll try to eat the cream off and get sick or even die from it. So I found this product after several hours of searching and, while it had no reviews for people using it on rats and was a bit pricey for not knowing if it would work or not, I went for it. Well, let me tell you, it cured my rats faster than my own ringworm treatment cured me! No joke, if I get ringworm again I might test this on myself, lol. I washed them twice a week for a month,l (after which it went away), then once a week for two months after that because I was paranoid it would come back. My biggest concern was how to hold them still for 10 mins after the bath while the stuff was left on them, but since they're so small it was actually quite easy to just wrap them up in a small towel with their head sticking out one and for air. I'd have to keep an eye out to make sure they didn't lick themselves, which they didn't do for the most part. They'd occasionally get a quick lick or two in before I could restrain them again, but I'm happy to say it didn't make them sick or cause any harm that I'm aware of (it's now been about 6 months and neither have cancer, so that's a good sign, right?). Then I'd wash them off and they'd be all set to go. A couple side notes: My rats, like most, have very sensitive noses. While this left a slight smell to their fur, it was actually not unpleasant and it did not cause them to sneeze or sniffle as other strong smells have in the past. Also, I've used various types of soaps and shampoos since then for their weekly baths, and none--not one!--has gotten rid of their dirty rat smell 100% like this product has! If the product weren't so expensive and if I weren't worried about using it long-term on my ratties, I would use it for their normal shampoo. It works wonders at getting rid of all the oils without making their fur and skin too dry and scratchy. Also, for rats you only need to use a tiny bit (like a teaspoons worth), so you'll have tons leftover. I'd say there's definitely enough to treat 2-6 kittens or small puppies in each bottle, but it'll depend on the size of the animal, hie conservative you are in how much you lather them with, and the seriousness of the ringworm. There's enough to treat 6-15 grown rats, that's for sure! I imagine this works just as well on any other small animal, and couldn't recommend it enough!

This brand has been around for many years and it’s always been reputable for me & my dogs. I bought this because I know that miconozole works for athletes foot and or jock itch for humans. The 2% strength use to be by prescription only. it has been 2% “over the counter” percentage now for a long time! It works. it’s one of the strongest antifungal that is over the counter without a prescription. The men use it for jock itch in Lotrimin spray and cream. For dogs with canine warts it’s stopped the itching immediately and lasts between baths. I took one star off for the price. It tends to get very pricey if you have more than one dog.

This soap works very well. No offensive odor like some anti fungal or anti microbials. Perfect to keep on hand for flare ups in domestic pets and horses. Works well after only a couple applications.
