Silver Honey Hot Spot & Wound Care Ointment
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. The ointment is used on hot spots, dermatitis, cuts, abrasions, sores, rashes, and skin lesions, and it works across species, which makes one jar useful in a mixed household or barn.
The ointment format suits targeted work. It stays where you put it, which matters on a defined area, and it holds up better than a spray on skin that has been scabbing over a longer period.
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

Chapped skin and paw irritations
Areas with longer term scabbing
How to Use
Clean the area and remove excess dirt and debris first, then apply a thin layer to 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

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.
