Candidiasis (thrush) is a zoonotic fungal disease caused by Candida, commonly known as oral thrush. The causative agent is Candida albicans. Often found in the digestive tract of healthy animals. Young and weak animals, especially animals that have been fed antibacterial additives for a long time or treated with antibiotics for a long time, are susceptible to infection.

The clinical characteristics of sick dogs are the formation of a large or several small raised soft spots on the oral and esophageal mucosa. The surface of the soft spots is covered with a yellow-white pseudomembrane. After peeling off, a congested surface that is prone to bleeding is exposed.

[Preventive measures] Early detection and early treatment are of great significance to improving the efficacy. The treatment methods can refer to histoplasmosis. In order to prevent this disease, the most important thing is to remove various inducements. Those who use antibacterial additives for a long time should stop feeding. Antibacterial agents that have been used for too long should also be stopped to avoid the growth of candida. Nystatin can also be taken orally from time to time, at a dose of 600,000 to 1,000,000 units per day, for 5 to 7 consecutive days.

If anti-vaccination agents have been used for too long, they should also be stopped to avoid the growth of Candida. Nystatin can also be taken orally from time to time, at a dose of 600,000 to 1 million units/day, for 5 to 7 consecutive days.
