This veterinarian-prescribed ointment is also used to help manage skin disorders characterized by inflammation in both cats and dogs. Animax is made with four active ingredients—nystatin, neomycin sulfate, thiostrepton and triamcinolone acetonide, which provide anti-inflammatory, antipruritic, antifungal and antibacterial therapeutic effects.

Cushing’s syndrome has been reported in association with prolonged or repeated steroid therapy in dogs.

Too liquidy
By RockyBoyBoxer on Oct 31, 2020
This is a bit too liquidy- each time we apply it to my dog's ears, he shakes his head and most of it comes off. I will need to find a product with some thicker consistency.

WE have had skin issues on our 10 year old German Shepard for years. This is the first product that has eliminated the dry patches and the dark spot on her underside with just a couple of applications.
