Our senior cat had a stubborn hot spot that just wouldn't quit, but a week of applying this water-soluble salve twice a day and the irritation finally calmed down. I love that it's safe enough for all three of our animals, so I can use the same tube on the dog's itchy paw.
The 2% chlorhexidine really cleared up a stubborn hot spot on my dog's paw within a few days, and I liked that it's water soluble so it didn't leave a greasy mess on his fur. Applied it twice daily with a cotton pad and the redness was gone by day four.
My vet recommended this for my cat's ringworm and the 2% chlorhexidine plus ketoconazole combo cleared it up in about two weeks. It's water soluble so it rinses off my hands easily after applying, which I appreciate.
