Great info 👏🏼
🧴It is Medicine Monday! This time we are talking about the prescription topical ointment known as Animax (generic) or Panolog (original name brand) or simply the “other yellow stuff.”
🧴 Animax Ointment combines nystatin, neomycin sulfate, thiostrepton, and triamcinolone acetonide in a non-irritating polyethylene and mineral oil base formulation. What does all of that mean? Animax is anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antifungal and antibacterial. Nystatin is antifungal. Neomycin sulfate is a broad spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic . Thiostrepton is an oligopeptide antibiotic effective against gram-positive bacteria . And triamcinolone acetate is a corticosteroid that aids in relieving pruritus.
🧴 Animax ointment is labelled for the treatment of acute and chronic otitis (inflammation or infection of the ear), interdigital cysts (inflamed bumps/nodules in between the toes or webbing of the paw) in cats and dogs and in a**l gland infections of dogs. However, Animax has its place as an effective treatment for specific types of wounds and skin disorders when it comes to horses including granulation tissue and scratches (equine pastern dermatitis aka mud fever).
🩺 We always recommend seeking veterinary advice and an exam when it comes to wounds. Wounds may involve important structures including bone, tendon sheaths and/or joints. It is important that wounds be thoroughly examined by your veterinarian so they can recommend appropriate diagnostics, treatment options and possible referral to an equine hospital.
