wow phoned the local pharmacy today, £5 for 28 generic tablets £ 120 for Lamisil from Henry Sheiner what a difference. I WILL be trying your recommendation. Thank you

Thanks for the help but the Lamisil capsules seem prohibitively expensive from our suppliers.

The highly scientific amount of 500mg per sandbath, replaced weekly. it was a last-ditch effort in a case where no other meds were possible because of owner issues - usually I use itraconazole orally, or miconazole spray but was quite pleased with the response and lack of stress

that's an interesting idea. How much do you add to the sandbath?

I have had good success recently just using terbinafine in the sandbath. Low stress, no risk of toxicity and fixed chinchillas which was a pleasant surprise. Both treated had a complete clinical resolution within 3wks but I continue treatment for 6wks. Might be worth trying in a potentially pregnant chin,

Genetrix make a spray called something like mycozole which contains myconazole.
