hmm I Hadn't heard of Thrush any where but the mouth. Learn some thing new every day. But since Thrush is a yeast infection I would think it could be treated as such. Fungal just like ringworm. For most yeast infections I use OTC yeast cream . Worked much better than all the meds my doc gave my kid for ring worm.+ Yogurt and probiotics.
Oh yes, Bridget had it on her sides, her neck. Thank God JBud's pet didn't have it - it had an ear infection. Good thing we have Vets huh? Our minds can run amok with our pets!!!!! I wouldn't wish Thrush on any animal. Good going, JBud to get your dog to the vet right away. Sounds like an E-Collar is going to be necessary, which is almost worse than the owie!!!!! Both Bridget and Bess hated E-Collars as I think most dogs do. I am glad the dog will be just fine. Edie
