For the record.....I use this med on practically everything that looks as though it requires some anti-bacterial attention. I worked in the ER many moons ago when it was first available for burns. We used to bring a gob of it home in biopsy containers and plaster it on everything. Of course, there is the Sulfa component that causes allergic reaction in some people, but I have used it on cats, dogs, birds, fish and a pot belly pig.....virtually anything that over the counter Neosporin won't touch. I even did a daily photographic journal on a particularly purulent sore on one of my dogs and submitted it to the pharmaceutical company for review. It's a great medication and though a prescription is required, it does not have to be purchased in large amounts. However, do not use it on otherwise "clean" suture lines (post operative with no infection present) because like any ointment, it can impede the healing process on an otherwise healthy incision site. <br clear="all">
