Bought for our pony who has a pink nose. It is a very good cream for keeping sun from burning her stopping her nose getting burnt.

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Aniwell FiltaBac Antibacterial Cream, including answers from our team.
Diane
Have been using the white filtabac on my cat but have now read not recommended for cats 😳. Will the clear one be better as a sunscreen for my white cats ears
Choose the clear,
Because it’s “near clear,” you may have a better chance that your cat tolerates it (less thick or messy).
The addition of a “bittering agent” is meant to discourage licking, which is a plus in cats.
It still offers decent sun protection (SPF 24–27).
However, before switching always get advice from your Vet as some cats can be sensitive to its ingredients especially if they ingest it via licking.
Always do a patch test.

When will filtabac be in stock again. I know it was recalled but that was ages ago. It’s the best I’ve found for pink noses!
You can pre-order on our website and once the supplier dispatches the order to us, you will receive an estimated delivery date.

Hi,
My dog was recently diagnosed with the above. Obviously the sun is a major factor with this disease. Can I use sunscreen on his nose while he is waiting for a consult with his oncologist. There are a few sores on his nose and he has had a biopsy
Yes this cream can be used as sunblock on the skin area. Whether it will interfere with the carcinoma itself is unknown unfortunately as it has not been tested specifically on tumours. It is recommended to only use this alongside advice from your vet.

Can I use this on broken wart type lesions on my old dog?
This cream can be used on broken skin so this should be fine to use on a broken skin wart. If the wart is repeatedly being an issue then it is worth seeing your vet to have the lump diagnosed and treated.
Jack
Does this sunblock work on cat’s ears?
Aniwell have this disclaimer on the cream itself:
Caution: white cats, in particular, may react to the anti-bacterial and
zinc oxide in FiltaBac®Cream– please consult your
Veterinary Professional before using the product.

Will this work for feline acne? I have tried washing and wipes and nothing has worked!
This product should not to be used on cats unless recommended by a vet as it contains zinc which should not be ingested by them. I recommend discussing treatment of the condition with your vet.
Omega Oil supplements such as EpiGlow can be beneficial for Feline Acne. Chlorhexidine based wipes like Vetruus CLX Wipes can be used to clean the area too.

My mares mud fever is chronic. She’s on 24hr turnout for the first time. There are deep clay boggy areas by the gate so every time she dries out she wet again. Her fur is practically all gone on her front cannon bones but the fetlocks and patterns still have fur. I’m moving her to a stable at the end of the month. Doing all I can with feed and mud talc plus stinky stuff. Will his actually seal her bare areas to help the skin?
Aniwell FiltaBac is great at helping prevent bacterial infections as well soothing and moistering the skin in the area. Mud fever is usually a bacterial infection so this cream can help prevent this. I recommend reading our blog on Mud Fever for a full guide.

Can this cream be used to draw out puss.my dog has an open sore,which has puss coming from it.at the moment it is being cleaned with hibiscrub and then covered with fuciderm cream
This cream won't necessarily draw out pus any better than Fuciderm. In fact I would stick with your current protocol of cleaning twice daily with dilute hibiscrub then applying the fuciderm. If there is a small hole or pocket you could use a syringe to help flush the pus out of the wound. Once the pus has stopped draining the wound should heal. If it continues discharging it would be a good idea for your vet to take a look since there may be a foreign body or something similar in the wound preventing it from healing.
