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.

Great product
By Laraib on Jul 16, 2021
My cat unfortunately got some bacteria on his skin and our vet prescribed us this ointment, but we ran out of it, so I checked chewy and they had it! I didn’t have to go back to my vet in order to get more. Chewy delivered it in 2-3 days. They also made sure to contact my vet to make sure it was okay for them to send

Something that works!
By Hawk on Mar 30, 2021
I have been battling hot spots and especially yeast infections on my dog forever with everything suggested on forums and internet. When I took my pup in for dental surgery my vet saw his yeast infection on his groin and prescribed this. Worked like a charm and quickly too. Another fanatic thing with ordering this from Chewy it was half the price!

Works Great!
By Titi on Mar 25, 2021
It works immediately. My vet gave this ointment for me. The acne was gone just in 5 days. Clears everything. But this ointment can color the cat's fur. So make sure take a shower or just clean cat's chin after the acne is gone.
