Gentacalm Topical Spray

treatment for gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections of the skin. Gentamicin is active against the following organisms isolated from canine
skin: Alcaligenes sp., Citrobacter sp., Klebsiella sp.,
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, indole-positive and negative Proteus sp,
Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sp., Staphylococcus sp.,
and Streptococcus sp.
Betamethasone
valerate provides anti-inflammatory
and antipruritic activity in the topical management of corticosteroid
responsive infected superficial lesions in dogs.
