What is the difference between creams, ointments and lotions?
Creams are non-greasy. Ointments have an oily base. Lotions are liquid preparations. All are similar as far as application is concerned. Creams, ointments and lotions are for external use only. It is important to prevent your pet from licking and swallowing them. Many veterinary formulations are specially designed for rapid absorption to minimize this problem.
Be sure to follow any directions concerning application of the product, e.g. using exam gloves, avoiding the eyes, etc. This is important since some veterinary preparations may be irritating to human skin or eyes. Most topical preparations work better if they are gently massaged in for a few moments after application.
