The use of probiotic Vetom 1 in the complex therapy of feline microsporia

Abstract

The effect of the drug Fungin Forte in combination with the probiotic drug Vetom 1 was studied in the complex therapy of feline microsporia. 2 groups of 5 cats each with a diagnosis of microsporia and the same initial size of alopecia were formed. Cats of the control and experimental groups were given a combined antifungal drug Fungin Forte, applying it for 21 days in a thin layer on the affected areas 2 times a day, rubbing from the periphery to the center. The experimental group cats were additionally given the probiotic preparation Vetom 1 inside at a dose of 50 mg / kg for 20 consecutive days. The therapeutic efficacy of the treatment of feline microsporia was assessed by reducing the severity of clinical signs of dermatomycosis by measuring alopecia and plotting changes in their size. Blood sampling was performed from the anterior saphenous vein of the forearm before and after therapy. The concentration of erythrocytes and hemoglobin was measured on a Mindray BC-2800 automatic hematology analyzer. It was found that Vetom 1 increases the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood and the number of erythrocytes within the physiological norm, which helps to improve the general condition of animals during therapy with Fungin Forte. When using Vetom 1 against the background of using the drug Fungin Forte, the resistance of the organism of animals of the experimental group increases, the process of restoring the skin barrier and reducing alopecia on the coat is accelerated, which is directly proportional to the decrease in the amount of the pathogen on the skin.
