Abstract

DTM cultures were taken on 66 animals that presented with clinical signs of dermatophytosis or that had a positive Wood's lamp test. Of these cultures, 24 were Microsporum canis. Fifteen of the M canis cases were detectable by Wood's lamp. A dosage of 12.5mg/kg BID of ultramicrosize griseofulvin was effective in eliminating clinical signs in nearly all cases. This BID dosage was more effective than the same dose given once daily.
