- Wounds on the surface of the skin also need to be cleaned first if they contain purulent discharge or blood. It is not recommended to tear off the crusts.

- thanks to its regenerating properties, it accelerates the healing process of the skin;
- promotes rapid restoration of wool;
- increases immunity;
- prevents the development of concomitant diseases;
- relieves the inflammatory process;
- reduces intoxication.
The ability to use Anandin as the only means of treatment allows you to reduce stress in the animal associated with taking multiple medications.
Purpose
Prescribed for any inflammatory processes on the mucous membrane in cats, occurring mainly due to a decrease in the immune functions of the body. Such diseases include:
- otitis;
- conjunctivitis;
- rhinitis;
- otodectosis;
- slow regeneration of damaged skin;
- complex stage of immunodeficiency.
They are manifested by the following symptoms:
- labored breathing;
- eye and nasal discharge;
- lacrimation;
- swelling of the eyelids and sore ears;
- intolerance to bright light;
- sneezing.
In such a situation, it is recommended to urgently contact a veterinary clinic. Ignoring these manifestations leads to serious complications in the form of a chronic form. After establishing an accurate diagnosis, the doctor prescribes appropriate treatment.
Anandin is often prescribed as a prophylactic agent, which helps increase immunity and suppress the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms in the bud. This is especially true for unvaccinated pets who have free access to the street. Even if there is the slightest suspicion that your cat has an infection, you should immediately administer a prophylactic dosage (2 drops into each nasal or ear canal) before contacting the veterinarian. This will ease the animal's condition.
