Is Tresaderm safe for my cat's face scratches to prevent infection?
Yes, it is ok to use it to disinfect and prevent possible infections. I would recommend to use it twice daily for the next 3 days and if you do not notice any improvement, to take him to your local veterinarian as oral antibiotics may be needed. Make sure the solution does not get in contact with eyes.

Kitten ear infection: Can I buy prescription meds like Tresaderm OTC?
The reason why the prices in the vet's office for treatment for the ear infection are more expensive is because those treatments contain the strong medication needed to treat NJ's ear infection. OTC treatments by law cannot contain these medications because they require a prescription from a vet to treat. While I know it seems expensive, it's best to only treat him with medication from the vet. It is the safest thing to do, and will give the best results. I hope this helps and NJ feels better soon!

My cat has eye discharge and a wound. Is Tarramycin safe to use?
Ideally, he should be physically examined by your veterinarian before any treatment is administered. He may need systemic antibiotics in addition to topical treatment. Pain medication may also be indicated. Legally, we are prohibited from telling you to medicate your pet in the absence of a physical exam and a VPCR (veterinarian-patient-client relationship).

My cat's ear infection is back. Can I safely use Dexoryl again?
Gentamycin is a common ingredient in ear medications. There is a small risk of damaging the hearing, especially if the ear drum is not intact. When I diagnose an ear infection in a pet, I recommend a two-part treatment. The first is with a cleaner to remove any debris; I like DECHRA DermaPet Malacetic Otic. This is important as ear medications need to contact the skin of the ear and if there is ear wax or other debris in the way, then the medications can't work. After the ears are dry, you can apply the medication. Ears typically need to be treated twice a day for 7-10 days. Cats can commonly get ear mites that may look like an ear infection. If you have not treated Melcho for ear mites, I recommend doing so now. If the ear infection does not resolve after using an ear cleaner and the Dexoryl within a week, then Melcho should see the vet as he could have a resistant bacteria growing, yeast infection, parasites, or even a polyp causing problems deep in his ear. I cannot find a list of

My cat has ear mites and dirty ears. What products should I use?
Tresaderm or Acarexx can be used to treat ear mites in cats. Your veterinarian can dispense either after an exam. Confirmation of ear mite infection is simple. Your vet can examine a swab of the ears under a microscope in the clinic. Acarexx is a one time treatment. Tresaderm takes about 7 days to clear mite infections. Another option would be Revolution topical. In addition to killing ear mites, it will protect your cat against fleas, heartworm, round worm and hookworm.
