A: Howdy neighbor! Yes, you can absolutely use Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Feline Facial Therapy on a dog because its active ingredient, hypochlorous acid, is completely safe and non-toxic for all animal species. Even though the bottle is marketed for cats, the gentle, antibiotic-free formula works perfectly for flushing out a dog's ears and eyes, or treating minor facial scrapes and skin irritation.

A: While Vetericyn Plus Antimicrobial Feline Facial Therapy is safe for cats and can help with minor sores, it is not a sufficient treatment for a facial abscess with pus. An abscess, especially one with pus, requires professional veterinary care. The product can be used as a topical cleanser to keep the area clean, but it will not resolve the deep-seated bacterial infection characteristic of a cat bite abscess.

A: There are several factors that could be causing your kitten's eye to worsen--regardless of the topical treatment chosen. I would suggest an examination by a veterinarian to understand the root cause of the eye condition. There could be a foreignbody in the eye, scratched cornea, or there could be an allergy that is causing this. Vetericyn's Feline Facial Therapy is non-sensitizing or irritating and has a similar safety profile to saline. It is unlikely that the product itself is causing the redness. If you believe the product needs to be tested to make sure it has not been tampered with, we are happy to send it to our labs.
