Because of its adhesive properties, it provides long term antibacterial protection for:
broken, grazed skin areas
bites from other animals
cuts and gashes
irritated skin
mud fever
rain scald
thrush
clipper rash
fly/tick bites
flystrike
bit pressure and mouth damage
girth galls/girth rub/saddle pressure areas
It can be used instead of a traditional bandage for those hard-to-bandage areas.
It forms a barrier against dirt, pathogens and chemical contamination; e.g. for dogs prone to plant contact allergies.
If suturing is likely to be delayed FiltaBac Cream will protect the integrity of the wound and can remain in a wound that
is sutured due to its non-reactive antibacterial qualities.
How do I use FiltaBac?
As a sun block, apply a visible film to affected areas once or twice daily. Apply more frequently if the cream is being physically removed.
For antibacterial protection, apply a reasonably thick covering coat of cream to affected areas. Re-apply for 2-3 days without removing original cover.
After 2-3 days gently remove the FiltaBac cream from the area by using warm water and a mild soap or dilute antiseptic solution.
Pat or air-dry (do not rub). Recover with FiltaBac cream.
As an absorbing protective cover, apply a thick film of cream to damaged areas and maintain cover with daily applications.
Withholding period: Nil
Special Precautions:
White cats in particular may react to the anti-bacterial and zinc oxide in FiltaBac - FiltaClear is a suncream alternative.
In the case of an allergic skin reaction, cease application and wash area with warm water and soap.
For animals with renal failure, avoid frequent daily applications over large areas of the body.
