How to Use
- Wet your pet thoroughly with clean water. Apply Topizole Medicated Shampoo to several different areas and massage well into the coat.
- A sponge or cloth can assist lathering and increase penetration of the shampoo.
- 50 mL of Topizole Medicated Shampoo would be adequate to treat a 30 kg, medium hair length dog and 7-10 mL of Topizole Medicated Shampoo would be adequate for an adult cat.
- Ensure that Topizole Medicated Shampoo is applied around the lips, under the tail and between the toes as these areas can harbour causative organisms. A sponge or cloth will again be useful for this.
- Leave the shampoo on your pet for 10 minutes (which is hard for a cat but do your best!) then rinse off thoroughly with clean water.
- Avoid contact with the pet’s eyes and try to prevent your pet from licking or inhaling the shampoo lather. Do not use inside the pet’s ears.
- Repeat the shampooing twice weekly until symptoms abate, then weekly or as directed by your veterinary surgeon.
- Typically 8-12 weeks of twice weekly shampooing will be needed to control the condition then once weekly to prevent reoccurrence and maintain the normal skin microorganism balance.
