You can use the cyclosporine along with tacrilimus (Protopic) ointment that is
as effective. Unfortunately no all dogs can stomach ketokonazole and will lose
appetite.
Anti biotics will never work. Some vets will use high doses of steroids which
again will bandaid but not heal...will only remove inflammation.
I totally cured a male with cyclosporine and ointment and they never returned.
But it took close to 6 months of due diligence and a fair bit of money

Cyclosporin and ketokonazole. Many years ago had experience with this, and at
the time it was cutting edge treatment. Now I think it's the standard. The use
of anti-rejection drugs as are used in transplant patients has been very
effective, it was very expensive at one time, but I believe may have been
authorized for veterinary use and priced lower now.

I have a friend in Canada that has an older dog that recently developed
fistula.
The Vet gave her metronidazole and an ointment ....and the dog is not
improving at all.
She is a bit isolated and has no internet.....and hoped I would know someone
that has experience with this. I don't. Is this the current treatment for
this problem?
Any advice for her?
