You may not notice a visible improvement until you've been treating your pet for 1 to 2 weeks, and you may need to treat your pet with fluconazole for several months. Make sure you continue giving the prescription to your pet until the end of the treatment regimen unless your veterinarian specifically directs you to discontinue giving fluconazole. Your pet may feel better, and you may notice an improvement in visible fungal infections before the treatment has ended, but it's important to complete the treatment to prevent a relapse and to prevent the possibility of future resistance to fluconazole or other antifungal medications.
Dosage and how frequently you will need to administer the medication depends upon the particular infection being treated. Follow your veterinarian's instructions.
