Is it safe to use triple antibiotic cream on a cat? ?

my cats ear is infected the whole ear its self not the inside of the ear its swollen and ozzing so can i use peroxide and triple antibiotic cream on my cat if not what ?Is it safe to use triple antibiotic cream on a cat? ?
There are a few human meds that are suitable for cats, but do a search to make sure. In other words, if you are thinking Neosporin (which can be okay for cats) you would do a search like ';Neosporin cats (felines).';





HOWEVER...do you know why the ear is swollen and oozing, because to me, it sounds like a vet visit. Ear issues can come from a number of things, and care for the ear is important as ear problems can disrupt a cat's balance severely.





Peroxide around the ears is not a good idea, even diluted, as it can damage delicate skin tissue (which the ear is) and if any should drip into the ear canal, it can burn and damage the ear drum, and you're in for more problems.





Without knowing what might have caused the issue, my recommendation is to see the vet.Is it safe to use triple antibiotic cream on a cat? ?
No. Do not use anything designed for human use on your cat. If you put anything on her ear she will injest it when she is cleaning herself and it could poison her. You need to get advice from your vet (and probably antibiotics) as it sounds as if your cat has an abscess. Keep it clean by washing it with warm water on a cotton wool pad until you can get her to a vet.
DON'T use peroxide! It can really damage eyes. What you can use is a clean cloth with warm water %26amp; a non tearing baby shampoo. Rinse well! No baby shampoo? Then just use warn water.


Forget the ointment as your cat will just find a way to rub it off.


Your cat needs to be started on an oral antibiotic so please get it to the vet ASAP!
no you cant use any of those on cat you MUST TAKE CAT TO VET AND VET WILL PRESCRIBE MEDICINE FOR CAT
Take her to the vet. Do not use human products on your kitties!
TAKE HER TO THE VET! and get medicine for them
i think you could but ring your vet first!
Clean with peroxide and then use a small amount of the cream. With the whole ear infected, your cat needs to see a vet. Sounds like an abscess that is draining. The infection from the abscess enters the system traveling through the blood stream and causing more infection. Cleaning it is fine and will promote healing at that site. It will not clear the internal infection. A vet will give antibiotics and the cat will fully recover.
