What is animax ointment used to treat?

Animax ointment is a prescription medication used to treat skin infections in dogs and cats. It contains four active ingredients: nystatin (an antifungal agent), neomycin sulfate (an antibiotic), thiostrepton (an antibiotic), and triamcinolone acetonide (a corticosteroid).

Animax ointment is commonly used to treat skin conditions such as bacterial and fungal infections, dermatitis, hot spots, eczema, and other inflammatory skin conditions. It works by reducing inflammation, fighting bacteria and fungus, and providing relief from itching and irritation.

It is important to follow your veterinarian's instructions when using Animax ointment and to only use it for the prescribed duration of time. Overuse or misuse of the medication can lead to side effects such as skin thinning, increased risk of infections, and resistance to antibiotics.

It is also important to monitor your pet for any signs of allergic reactions or adverse effects while using Animax ointment. If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact your veterinarian immediately.
