Is neosporin safe for cats?

I heard that it is---but there maybe some problems with the one that has the PAIN RELIEF in it (that if the cats lick the pain medication--it may hurt them)His noise started getting infected and it looked painful...But I put the NEOSPORIN with Pain medication on his noise without checking with anybody for 7 days--and he licked it--but it was such a small amount!!The neosporin Worked--it was wonderful! The pain relieving ingredient is pramoxine hydrochloride, a drug used in numerous products for cats and dogs of the skin care, wound care, itch relief nature. It is absolutely safe to use Neosporin with pain relief for cats. I have used it with mine numerous times.


Who invented neosporin?

Neosporin (from neo, (Greek) new + sporos, (Greek) seed) is an antibiotic product marketed for the prevention of infections and speeding the healing of wounds.Concern exists that the use of Neosporin contributes to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In the US, the only large market for Neosporin, the ointment has been shown to promote the prevalence of MRSA bacteria,[1] specifically the highly lethal ST8:USA300strain.[2]The original ointment contains three different antibiotics: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B, in a relatively low-molecular-weight patented base of cocoa butter, cottonseed oil, sodium pyruvate, tocopheryl acetate, and petroleum jelly.The generic name for these products, regardless of the base, is "triple antibiotic ointment". In China, this product is called "complex polymyxin B ointment," which is manufactured by Zhejiang Reachall Pharmaceutical. The product was also marketed by the Upjohn Company under the name "Mycitracin", until 1997 when that name was acquired by Johnson & Johnson.[3]Some people have allergic reactions to neomycin, so a "double antibiotic ointment" is sold that contains only bacitracin and polymyxin B, such as the cobrand Polysporin.A "Plus" variant of the ointment exists that adds the analgesic pramoxine, but uses the cheap, simple, long-lasting, but heavier petroleum jelly base common to many over-the-counter topicals. The latest version of this, a high-absorption cream, removes the bacitracin, which is unstable in such a base, but keeps the analgesic.


Insect Bite Treatment?

Deer flies only live for a few days, so if you wait a few days, they will all be dead. Of course, by that time, millions of more deer flies will be born, replacing the original deer flies and possibly augmenting their numbers considerably. Deer fly larvae live in water or moist soil. If you can eliminate all water and moist soil within several miles of you, you will probably reduce the deer fly population considerably.
