After a week or so, I can now see the difference, an improvement in Honey's ear problems. She is scratching less. Her ears are less inflamed and sh is a happier pooch.

Q & A

Below are some recent questions we've received regarding Cortavance Spray for Dogs, including answers from our team.

Inter digital cyst on Labrador

Jacqueline

Will this help with our dogs interdigital cyst?

  • VioVet Staff

Cortavance may offer temporary relief of inflammation, but it's not sufficient on its own to treat interdigital cysts. Effective management typically requires a combination of antimicrobial therapy, anti-inflammatories (as appropriate), underlying cause mitigation, and veterinary oversight—especially if the cyst is recurrent or ulcerated.

Pain relief

Can this be used as ear drops for pain relief

  • VioVet Staff

Lip Fold Dermatitis

Elaine

Can this be used to treat lip fold dermatitis?

  • VioVet Staff

This is a prescription medication that is licensed for use for the following:

  • Symptomatic treatment of inflammatory and pruritic dermatoses in dogs

  • Alleviation of clinical signs associated with atopic dermatitis in dogs.

It contains a steroid that may assist in treating lip fold dermatitis by reducing inflammation and itching but it will not treat any infectious components of the dermatitis. It should only be used alongside advice from your prescribing vet, as it is a prescription only medication, so it is therefore advised to discuss this further with them.

Dog itchy paws

stan

If sprayed on dogs paws does it affect if licked

  • VioVet Staff

If the product is licked off immediately after application then it will have no effect. You should prevent your dog licking the area upon application. As a steroid medication it should then help prevent your dog's need to lick the area itself. This is a prescription only medication so you should follow your vet's dosing advice closely and discuss any issues with them.

How to use over fur, ensuring it makes contact with skin.

Marie

I've thoroughly read the literature on this product - however, as my dog has red itchy skin on his skull mostly from where his ears attach and a lesser amount on the top of his head (he has no fur loss whatsoever) how do I spray this from a 10cm distance to make sure it makes contact with his affected skin and doesn't just sit on his fur? I understand that I need to cover his ears and eyes and will be extremely careful, but I'm just not sure how to make sure this makes contact with his affected skin. Thanks.

  • VioVet Staff

Cortavance is a prescription only product, your vet will have prescribed this to you so I recommend discussing this with them. The product should only be used at 10cm distance to ensure that skin coverage is at the correct levels and not excessive, however medications like this can be used off license if needed. Your vet can advise on off license use of the medication.

Allergy

Fay Clark

Can this be use to help itchy skin on a 3 years old dog who has dust mite allergy and storage mite allergy?

  • VioVet Staff

Cortavance is indicated for use in 'symptomatic treatment of inflammatory and pruritic dermatoses in dogs.' This includes reducing itching from allergic skin disease. It should only be used alongside advice from your veterinary surgeon as it is a prescription product.

Pups

Antoinette Ellis

Hi can this be used on 12 week old puppy.? Thankyou

  • VioVet Staff

It is recommended not to use steroids on dogs less than 7 months old. However it is up to your vet to assess the risks against the benefits of using this spray on a puppy- sometimes it is the right thing to do.

Hair Loss

Chris

Can this spray cause hair loss ? We have been using this product on an off for a while now and have noticed patches have started to appear. Thanking you once again in advance

  • VioVet Staff

This is not a side effect usually associated with Cortavance spray or one that I have seen before. Presumably your dog has itchy/inflammed skin which is why you are using the spray? Is it possible your dog has rubbed the hair out due to itchiness? That said any dog can react differently to anything so it is not impossible that the spray is causing the hair loss. It may be worth your vet having a look to try to determine the cause and prevent any further patches appearing.

My dog got sore paws and her genitals area can I spray on them as well

Della

  • VioVet Staff

Usually this is acceptable but you should check with your own vet first, just in case the problem there is different in some way.
