DistributorsBirds, Reptiles and Exotics Care
Bumble foot is common in a wide variety of exotic pets and birds. In fact, bacterial diseases are among the most common medical problems reported in birds, reptiles and other exotics. There is a concern within the animal health care community of antibiotic resistance associated with the overuse and abuse of antibiotics which are often used to treat these types of diseases. Vetericyn is a topical antiseptic and a wound care solution that is safe as water. It does not inhibit healing because it does not harm healthy tissue like povidine iodine and hydrogen peroxide. Yet it rapidly kills bacteria (including antibiotic-resistant strains such as MRSA), viruses, fungi and spores.
The major difference between reptile wound care and mammal wound care is that it may take up to 10 shedding cycles before a large reptile wound is completely healed. Wounds treated with Vetericyn have demonstrated a reduction in healing time by up to 60%. Vetericyn significantly increases the oxygen content at the wound site within 30 seconds and maintains that oxygen level for up to 36 hours. This increase in oxygen along with the reduction of infection is responsible for these accelerated healing times.
Since it is “no-rinse”, it leaves no film or residue to clean off. And unlike traditional antiseptics and topical antibiotics it does not damage healthy tissue. Finally, it is compatible with most gauzes and acrylics and can be used prior to application of other treatments.
Vetericyn also kills 99.9999% of all of the following organisms in 30 seconds or less and treats the following:
