Medicating cats can be notoriously challenging, especially when long-term compliance is needed. In recent years, transdermal ointments and gels have emerged in the UK as a practical alternative to oral administration.
These formulations are often easier for clients to apply and are generally well tolerated by feline patients.
In this webinar, we’ll explore the use of transdermal medications in cats, critically review the available literature supporting—or questioning—their efficacy, and examine findings from a 2019 UK veterinary survey.
👉 Join us for practical insights into the clinical use, benefits, and limitations of transdermal therapy in feline medicine.
