HI! Turns out my boy has a hot spot on his inner thigh. Thought it was his boob; but it's just a patch on his thigh.
I took him into the bathtub and dawn dish soap washed him off, including that area, to make it sterile, and then conditioned his fur with an oatmeal bath.
I then treated it with zymox a product I've always used on his boo-boos and never thought twice of.
He of course licked it after an hour of me stopping him from doing so, so it could dry.
Nothings happened, the spots still there but he's not picking at it anymore from what I've seen. He hasn't had any bad reaction to the zymox. What I'm asking is, is zymox actually effective? And safe for cats? I feel very uncomfortable putting any treatment near where he has direct access to....But also it needs to be done. Is there a better hotspot+wound remedy available on amazon? Or is this something I can make at home? I just want to know. Either way it's fine.. Also, is silverspray good for this kind of thing?
