• My dog has an abscess on her paw, probably due to a foxtail or other foreign object. Our vet prescribed Derma-Vet ointment, but the instructions say not for use on abscesses. Why? Can it make the abscess worse??

  • Derma-Vet is a combination of an antibiotic, an antifungal, and an anti- inflammatory. Derma-Vet will not work alone to heal an abscess. However, your veterinarian may have prescribed this medication to prevent an infection of the abscess. If you have any questions about the rationale of the prescription, please contact your veterinarian.

  • Derma-Vet Ointment contains the active ingredients nystatin (anti-fungal), neomycin (antibiotic), thiostrepton (antibiotic) and triamcinolone (anti-inflammatory and anti-itch). Frequency and application instructions are dependent on the severity of the condition being treated. For mild inflammations, application may range from once daily to once a week; for severe conditions this ointment may be applied as often as two to three times daily. Because of the variance in condition severity and location, you should contact your veterinarian for more specific administration and dosage instructions.

  • This ointment combines: Nystatin, an antifungal; Neomycin Sulfate, an antibiotic; Thiostrepton, an antibacterial; and Triamcinolone Acetonide to reduce itching. It is commonly used in dogs and cats to treat ear disorders and certain skin conditions. The combination of active ingredients in Derma-Vet ointment would be ideal for gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and complex infections that are itchy, dry, and inflamed.

• can this be used for the eyes??

  Asked by baby joy

  • Derma-vet is indicated for use with ear conditions, anal gland infections and other skin conditions and is not indicated with use in the eyes. The eyes are sensitive to a variety of ingredients and products not designed for ophthalmic use may not meet a comfort level suitable for use in the eyes and cause undesirable irritation. There are antibiotic treatments available specifically used for the eyes and a discussion with your veterinarian will be beneficial in choosing an appropriate product for your pet.
