How can my pet be decolonised from staph mrsa

I am colonised with MRSA and so is my pet. Can we use the same medicine to remove the colonization and , if not, what should I use on my dog?

It is important that a Doctor be in charge of treating human colonisation and a vet in charge of treating animal colonization. There has been some success at the Royal Veterinary College from a form of intranasal fusidic acid specific to dogs.

Is it possible to remove the MRSA that colonises my dog? I know that humans can become decolonized.

Potentially, yes. There have been some successes with treating the nasal passages of pets to remove MRSA colonies, but almost no reliable research. The ease with which MRSA colonization can be treated may well depend on issues such as the specific size of a dog’s head and the difficulty getting medicine into the colonized area.
