    Tubby has an abscess on his back, close to his shoulders- so he has a hard time licking the lump.
    I found it the other day while petting him.
    Pressing the lump does not hurt.
    So I went to the vet . He confirmed an abscess and gave me Fuciderm gel to put on the lump twice a day.
    It's sort of an acid and antibiotic and corticosteroid.
    I'm not impressed. :twisted:

    It does not seem to be available in the USA. The acid is fusidic acid and it is the antibiotic. The steroid is Betamethasone Valerate. I could only find that is approved for dogs.

    The instructions are for dogs.
    My vet recognizes Tubby as a cat. [hopefully] and knows Tubby is diabetic.[Did a blood test for glucose two minutes earlier]
    edit:Fusidic Acid Hemihydrate, Betamethasone Valerate ,and a whole pile of non-medicinal ingredients with 10 or more letters.
