charbess Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 The vet prescribed Neo-Predef Powder along with an antibiotic to treat a sore on my grey's rump that would not heal because she kept licking it. The powder worked very well, he said it has a numbing agent in it similar to lidocaine and it adhers well to the boo-boo when patted on with a piece of gauze. I doubt if I will ever need more but I was just floored by the price, $28 for 15 grams. Is there an OTC alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neighsayer Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Was that the price from your vet? May be cheaper online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KF_in_Georgia Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Apparently there's no OTC equivalent of this prescription med. I just searched online, and PetcareRX charges $30 for 15 grams. But Foster & Smith has it for about $20: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=10024 Quote Kathy and Q (CRT Qadeer from Fuzzy's Cannon and CRT Bonnie) and Jane (WW's Aunt Jane from Trent Lee and Aunt M); photos to come.

tbhounds Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Careful when and where you use it-it contains a steroid which typically decreases the healing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you mean, when and where I use it? Directions say apply 2x daily to affected spot. Should I stop after a certain length of time?

The vet never offers advice on where to get a drug for less money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
