What's in Gentacalm spray for my pig? Why does it smell like alcohol?

The gentocin spray has steroid and antibiotic in it so it is an appropriate treatment for hotspots. The other spray is not a prescribed medicine so will not have a gauranteed efficacy. Hotspots are sore so the spray likely sting a little. I would persevere with what your vet has prescribed to you, at the end of the day they habe examined Angel, and are a qualified professional and know what is best for your pet.

It could be that some of it hit her more sensitive parts so be very careful not to do that again. It could have also just surprised her or maybe the liquid was cold. See if it happens again next time you apply it. I hope this helps.

You should only give your pigs antibiotics for a medical reason diagnosed by a vet. Then the length and frequency of dosing will be determined by the severity and type of condition. Usually it involves a daily injection for 5 days up to 2 weeks. Unfortunately I cannot legally give you specific information about prescription drugs, but your vet will be able to advise you. There are various antibiotics and antinflammatories of use in swine.

I suggest you apply this wound spray 3-4 times per day. If that doesn't help within a few days then he needs to see a vet. Also, monitor him closely to be sure he is urinating OK. It almost looks like urine scald like he has been laying in urine. It does not look like ant bites. ( https://www.allivet.com/p-8649-vetericyn-plus-livestock-utility-spray-16-oz.aspx )

I had no experience with this product, but reading the list of active molecules inside and the reviews, it does not seem a very effective spray. I would suggest to have a prescription product dispensed by your local veterinarian.

Most of the oral meds are on prescription and should be discussed with your local veterinarian. Disinfection of the skin may be achieved at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths.

Hello. The cut could use some stitches, but as long as you keep it clean & treated, it should heal just fine. I would clean the wound with a good skin antiseptic like Hibiclens ( available at all pharmacies ) & clean at least twice a day. Then apply your spray. It will heal & thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
