How do you treat a Poodle’s skin condition, and what medicines work best?

Treating a Poodle's skin condition starts with a vet skin scraping to identify the type — fungal, bacterial, parasitic, allergic, or endocrine. Treatment is then matched: antifungal ointment for fungus, antibacterial spray and oral meds for bacteria, parasite control for external parasites, antihistamines for allergic dermatitis, and gradual management for endocrine issues. Use an Elizabethan collar and keep the bedding clean.
