Vetzyme | Veterinary Antibacterial Powder for Dogs, Cats & Small Pets | Gently Soothes, Dries & Protects the Skin From Harmful Bacteria (40G)

Product Information

Its application prevents infections by providing a barrier between the skin and germs or other disease-causing organisms. Dog antibiotics come in two forms: bacteriostatic and bactericidal. The veterinarian suggests the best based on the condition. Some pet owners are worried that bathing dogs with skin infections will dry out their skin and cause more problems, but that is a misconception and it was never true. Although we’re used to thinking of topical products as adjunct treatments used in addition to antibiotics, that thinking has changed, and dermatologists are now advocating that topicals be used instead of antibiotics wherever possible”

We know that bathing removes allergens and infectious agents like bacteria and yeast, and helps restore epidermal function in humans. Can it do the same in dogs? It’s a bit unclear, but I’ve observed it helps a lot with my atopic patients. Some can even be controlled that way alone.” However, if the dog skin infections persist, then there is an underlying abnormality in your Fido's immune system. Gentamicin is an antibiotic for dogs used for treating bacterial infections (including ear infections and pneumonia).

Applied superficially, it has been used successfully in the treatment of acute otitis externa in dogs, acute moist dermatitis and interdigital dermatitis in the dog, and as a dusting powder to various minor cuts, lacerations, and abrasions in the horse, cat and dog.

One good thing we know about this dog skin infection treatment is how well it relieves the itchiness or irritation and allows the skin to heal.

When a dog is in pain, they will limp and whine. The pain may be unbearable for your fur friend, and they might lose their appetite. If your dog does develop an MRSA infection (which will happen if he has been exposed), apply the antibiotic powder directly to his wound twice daily for five days straight; then once daily for two weeks thereafter.
