Griseofulvin is a go-to treatment for fungal infections in our furry friends, cats and dogs. It's particularly effective against infections caused by dermatophytes, which affect the skin, hair, and nails. Administered orally, it's absorbed through the pet's digestive tract and then binds to keratin cells, preventing the fungus from infecting new cells. However, it's important to note that Griseofulvin should be used with caution as it can cause side effects such as vomiting, diarrhoea or even blood disorders. Always consult your vet before starting any new treatment.
