Silver Honey Hot Spot & Wound Care Spray Gel
For dogs, cats, horses, and small animals.
Product Description
Silver Honey from Absorbine combines two ingredients with long histories in wound care: medical-grade Manuka honey and MicroSilver BG. It’s used on hot spots, dermatitis, cuts, abrasions, sores, rashes, and skin lesions.
The spray gel is the format for coverage rather than precision. Touch-free application means you can treat a painful area without putting hands on it, which matters with an animal that flinches or snaps when a sore spot gets handled. The gel consistency stays in place rather than running off, so it keeps working on a vertical surface or a flank, and it suits larger areas where an ointment would take a while to spread.
A practical benefit worth noting is that it soothes the area, and a soothed spot is one the animal leaves alone. Most hot spots get worse because the dog keeps licking and chewing at them, so reducing the urge to bother the site is a real part of letting it settle.
It contains no antibiotics.

MicroSilver BG
Commonly Used For
Hot spots and moist dermatitis
Cuts, abrasions, and sores

How to Use
Clean the area and remove excess dirt and debris first, then spray to cover the affected skin.
Keep your pet from licking the treated area while it absorbs. A few minutes of distraction usually does it, or a recovery cone for a persistent licker.
For hot spots, clipping the hair around the area first helps considerably, since moisture trapped under matted fur is what lets them spread.
Reapply as directed on the label.
Additional Information
For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Store at room temperature. Keep out of reach of children.
Discontinue and contact your veterinarian if the area worsens or does not improve.
A note on species
This product is labeled for dogs, cats, and horses. The manufacturer states Silver Honey is safe for all animals, including cattle and llamas, and it is widely used on small mammals and backyard poultry.
If you keep food-producing animals, talk to your veterinarian before use. No withdrawal period has been published for meat, milk, or eggs, so that question needs a professional answer rather than an assumption.

Topical wound care suits minor, superficial problems. Anything deep, heavily bleeding, gaping enough to need sutures, the result of a bite, or located over a joint needs veterinary attention.
Hot spots in particular can expand dramatically overnight, so what looks small at bedtime can be the size of a palm by morning. Anything spreading, weeping, painful, or foul-smelling needs to be seen.
Puncture wounds and animal bites are the classic trap, looking small on the surface and abscessing days later. And a pet with repeated hot spots almost always has an underlying cause, usually allergy, that topical treatment won’t resolve.
