EnteDerm Ointment ^Rx

Q & A

• My indoor cat has been exhibiting a constant ear infection of some sort, shakes her head from side to side and I can hear what sounds like liquid in her ear, she scratches it constantly & at times makes her ear go somewhat flat. Is it okay to try and put a few drops of the EnteDerm ointment that I had prescribed for my dog in her ear???

  • EnteDerm ointment is commonly used in cats and dogs; however, you should consult with your veterinarian before using this product to make sure it is appropriate for your cat since this medication needs a prescription. Using an antibacterial/antifungal medication when an infection is not present can increase risk for infection in the future.

  • Shaking from side to side and hearing liquid is an immediate vet visit. you want to treat infections quickly, just like in humans. Not treating early can leave your car in pain, as the situations worsens, so does your vet bill.

  • Please contact your cat's veterinarian regarding the "cat acne" condition. The veterinarian may like to take a closer look at your cat's specific condition and may have different recommendations for treatment depending on what he/or she observes and the age of your kitten.

  • EnteDerm Ointment contains nystatin, neomycin sulfate, thiostrepton, and triamcinolone acetonide. These ingredients are used to treat inflammation and pruritus, as well as bacterial and fungal infections. It has been reported that when corticosteroids such as triamcinolone acetonide are administered into the ear, temporary hearing loss may occur. However, restoration of the pet's hearing usually occurs upon discontinuation of the drug. Please consult your pet's veterinarian if his hearing does not improve. Thank you, VetRxDirect

  • Entederm is a product that contains anti-bacterial agents, an anti-itch agent, and an anti-fungal agent. The drug has been indicated to be effective for conditions involving the skin and may be indicated for what you are describing. Consider developing strategies to prevent self-trauma as the area heals such as the use of an E-collar or trimming of the toenails. For a more precise assessment of your animal, contacting your veterinarian is encouraged. Thank you, VetRxDirect
