It is suitable for most animals - especially horses, dogs and exotics. Before using on cats seek veterinary advice.
FiltaBac gives Ultra Protection from sunburn for horses, dogs and cats and heat-lamp burn in exotics.
FiltaBac Cream covers wounds on horses, dogs and exotics like a second skin, providing a barrier which simulates the properties of
undamaged skin and is a total sunblock protecting the wound from any further damage by the sun.FiltaBac protects the wound:
- Allowing transpiration of the covered area (the wound breathes but does not dry out)Promoting moist wound healing,
- Serous fluid can escape,
- Protective barrier prevents intrusion of external contaminants (including insects)
- Antibacterial properties of the cream protect from colonisation of the wound
- What is FiltaBac® Cream?
FiltaBac® Cream acts as a totally natural second skin, has
antibacterial properties, protecting skin cells as they return to
normal (cells remain moist, can breathe and expel serum/fluid).
FiltaBac® Cream provides a barrier to the damaged area from
environmental influences - rain, dirt or insects.
FiltaBac® Cream also gives total sunblock protection to any white,
finely haired or hair-less areas from sunburn.
FiltaBac® Cream is specifically designed for use on large and small
animals, your first aid option at home and in the field.
(Caution: white cats, in particular, may react to the anti-bacterial
and zinc oxide in FiltaBac® Cream – please consult your Veterinary
Professional).
How to use FiltaBac® Cream:
1. Cover the visibly damaged skin area with a reasonably thick
coating of FiltaBac® Cream. This will naturally replace the lost skin.
2. Re-apply FiltaBac® Cream to the area for 2-3 days without
removing the original cover.
3. After this period, gently remove the FiltaBac® Cream from the
area by using warm water and a mild soap or dilute antiseptic
solution.
4. Pat or air-dry (do not rub) and re-cover with FiltaBac® Cream.
Hair will re-grow naturally on the area.
NB: If suturing is likely to be delayed, a cover application of FiltaBac®
Cream will protect the integrity of the wound and FiltaBac® Cream can
remain in a wound that is sutured due to its non-reactive anti-bacterial
qualities.
