Engemycin 25 mg/ml cutaneous spray for dogs

Engemycin 25 mg/ml cutaneous spray for dogs is a prescription antibiotic spray. It contains oxytetracycline and is designed for use on the skin. Vets use it to treat and protect superficial wounds and selected local infections in dogs.

By applying the antibiotic directly to the affected area, Engemycin spray supports local infection control while your vet also manages any deeper or general illness. It is not a general-purpose household spray and must only be used under veterinary direction.

Benefits of Engemycin 25 mg/ml Cutaneous Spray for Dogs

✔ Helps control bacteria in superficial wounds and small local skin infections
✔ Forms a quick-drying coloured film so you can see coverage easily
✔ Easy spray application, helpful for awkward or sore areas
✔ Supports cleaner wounds while your dog’s natural healing gets to work
✔ Used alongside other treatments and wound-care advice from your vet

What Engemycin Cutaneous Spray is Used For
Your vet may prescribe Engemycin 25 mg/ml cutaneous spray for dogs for:

• Fresh superficial cuts, grazes or abrasions that need local antibiotic cover

• Small localised skin infections where topical treatment is appropriate

• Wounds that have been cleaned and debrided and now need local protection

Your vet will decide if Engemycin is suitable, and whether your dog also needs systemic antibiotics, pain relief or other treatment.

How Engemycin 25 mg/ml Cutaneous Spray Works
Engemycin spray contains oxytetracycline, a tetracycline-group antibiotic. It acts on bacteria in the treated area and helps stop them multiplying.

The product also forms a coloured film on the surface of the skin. This film helps keep the area covered and shows you exactly where the spray has been applied. It does not replace cleaning, bandaging or any other wound-care instructions your vet gives you.

How to Use Engemycin Cutaneous Spray for Dogs
Always follow your vet’s instructions and the directions on the label. As a general guide:

• Clean the area first
  Gently remove dirt, hair and debris as advised by your vet. Pat dry with clean gauze or cotton wool.

• Shake the can if directed
  This helps mix the contents properly before use.

• Apply from the correct distance
  Hold the can at the distance stated on the label and spray a light, even layer over the area.

• Cover slightly beyond the visible wound
  This gives a margin of protection around the edges.

Your vet will tell you how often to repeat the application and for how many days. Do not change this schedule without checking with them.

Ongoing Wound and Skin Care
Engemycin 25 mg/ml cutaneous spray for dogs works best as part of a full wound-care plan. Your vet may also advise you to:

• Use a buster collar or medical pet shirt to stop licking or chewing

• Keep bandages clean and dry if a dressing is in place

• Restrict exercise so the wound does not reopen

• Bring your dog back for rechecks so healing can be monitored

If the wound looks worse, smells bad, becomes very swollen, or your dog seems unwell or painful, contact your vet promptly.
