Can I Use Neosporin On My Cat
Olivia Luz
If your cat has a minor cut or scrape schedule an appointment for your cat to be looked over by your vet.
In most cases neosporin is safe for use on cats but it may present complications if left on for long periods. They can prescribe the right antibiotic ointment for your cat s scrape. The fda prohibits using any drug in a manner inconsistent with its labeling and neosporin is not labeled for cat use. Because of this and practical reasons your vet is very unlikely to recommend using neosporin on your cat.
It can also help prevent any more infections from occurring along with generally speeding up the wound s recovery process. When used on small cuts and wounds antibiotic ointment is generally safe for cats but owners who suspect a more severe wound should bring their cat to a vet for a more detailed examination. The medication will help keep bacteria out of the wound while it heals. Also it is technically illegal to put neosporin on a cat.
