| Case studies and veterinary experiences with Virkon Using Virkon in the veterinary practice 'I use Virkon S daily in my veterinary
practice, and it is the best invention
since penicillin'. Virkon Germicidal Skin Cleanser 'One of my regular clients was a five year old West Highland White Terrier which had been suffering from non-seasonal atopy, an allergic condition, for several years', he says. 'This was complicated by pyoderma, a bacterial skin condition, which left the animal uncomfortable with constant itching. The condition progressively deteriorated and management with steroids, antibiotics and Fuciderm Gelâ was becoming increasingly unsatisfactory. The infection spread so far across the skin that it was impractical to apply the gel. At this stage I came across Pet Virkon and advised the owner to spray it all over the dog several times a week. The results were startling and the owner is delighted. Because of the underlying atopy the application of Pet Virkon will continue for the foreseeable future. However, the infection is under control and the dog is free of the unpleasant itching' Italian veterinary surgeon Roberto Lucarelli was recently able to solve a very big problem for a very small patient thanks to Virkon. He explains: 'A five month old Chihuahua named Rocky was purchased from a pet shop. His owner, Mrs. Rosalba Bortone, who lives in Fundi north of Naples, took Rocky to the vet when he started to show an intense pruritis, and his hair began to fall out at different sites of his body. Although he was treated with a systemic and topical antibiotic based therapy his health worsened day by day. 'During the Christmas holidays, I was called to visit Rocky, who was by now without hair on the majority of his body, and extremely depressed. Skin tests showed a fungal contamination, so I suggested the topical administration of a 1% solution of Virkon S twice
...... and also for equine skin conditions
Mr Gardner says that various treatments, from corticosteroid therapy to antibiotics, achieved no permanent success. Then – on the suggestion of a veterinarian from Farmaeutici Gallini – sanitisation of the box, horse tack and grooming gear, and a total body administration of Virkon S in a 1% solution twice a day for 15 days was tried. The results were dramatic. On day one of the treatment the pruritis had decreased considerably, and had completely disappeared by day three. The two ponies were visibly more relaxed. On day 5 the skin scaling had stopped, and the wounds had begun to heal. By day 15, wounds had almost completely healed, and new hair growth could be seen. Maintenance therapy was given by a monthly sanitisation of box and tack, and a twice-monthly total body application of Virkon S as before. “Weight was regained, coat condition improved dramatically, and no signs of the original skin condition were seen” says Mr Gardner. “Rococo and Raptus are now both in good health, and are waiting for the arrival of two Fjord mares – thank you Virkon S”. Please note: Virkon S, Virkon Professional,
Pet Virkon, Virkon E and Virkon germicidal
Skin Cleanser are different presentations
of the same formulation.
