A friend told me about this product last night. She thinks it's amazing. You can even spray it in your eyes or mouth. She said it was tested on humans before animals.

Sounds like an antibiotic. Never heard of it though.

I've used it before on a chronic case of scratches and with a cut that needed sutures.

I heard about it from a vet that works at the racetrack. I guess they call the stuff "Holy Water" there and love it.

Seemed to work well.

Spendy stuff though, since it's essentially a weak hypochlorite (aka bleach) solution. :biggrin:

I was trying to see what the main ingredient was. If it is a type of bleach, then I can tell my friend to save her $$ & dilute some bleach.

Yeah they never really come out and say what the ingredients are--the closest I've found is this page from the human version, Microcyn:

Hypochlorite is an oxidizer, hence the "oxidative burst" they talk about which kills the pathogens.

Have her make some Dakin's solution:
