The best treatment for fistulas is cyclosporine which is costly but should
not cost $100 weekly. There is a generic type now that is the same and
should bring costs to around $100-150 monthly. It generally takes anywhere
from 6 months to a year to get them in check, and then it could take another
6 months to a year of treating with tacrimulus cream to ensure they have
been dealt with. The cream is a little over $50 a tube but 1 tube should
last 2-3 months.
Some vets will treat with antibiotics and steroids.........they are a
temporary fix but will not be a cure all.

How are the current drugs (oral & topical) working on fistulas? Would
a German Shepherd rescue take the dog in this condition? The family
can't decide how to proceed. Any advice is greatly appreciated.
