Fucithalmic®Vet

Fucithalmic®Vet contains a carbomer and fucidic acid. Fucidic acid is a antibiotic that has a very narrow antibacterial action. Fucidic acid works excellent against staphylococcus bacteria (the main skin bacteria), and some streptococcus bacteria, but may have a very limited action against other bacteria. One of the main actions of Fucithalmic®Vet may be the carbomer, that lubricates the eye and causes the itching of the eye to stop. The pet stops rubbing the eye and a vicious circle has been broken.

Fucithalmic®vet is licensed for the treatment of dogs, cats and rabbits. I mainly use this ointment for the treatment of conjunctivitis in the dog, and simple corneal ulcers/erosions in the dog.

This section of mammaleye.com is written for Owner's of patients under my care and treatment. Others may of cause gain knowledge about eye diseases in pets. Remember that other veterinary ophthalmologists may wish to treat diseases of the eye in a different way than myself.

If you as an owner want further information (scientific) about eye diseases then have a look at www.mammaleye.com/prof.htm or go to pubmed and do a search on Medline - the main resource of scientific information for the whole medical profession.
