I heard that it is---but there maybe some problems with the one that has the PAIN RELIEF in it (that if the cats lick the pain medication--it may hurt them)His noise started getting infected and it looked painful...But I put the NEOSPORIN with Pain medication on his noise without checking with anybody for 7 days--and he licked it--but it was such a small amount!!The neosporin Worked--it was wonderful!

The pain relieving ingredient is pramoxine hydrochloride, a drug used in numerous products for cats and dogs of the Skin Care, wound care, itch relief nature. It is absolutely safe to use Neosporin with pain relief for cats. I have used it with mine numerous times.

possibly

You should not because their instinct is to lick it, and it is not for internal use. Instead you can use petroleum jelly which will not harm the cats. It has no medicine in it.

Can you use neosporin in the entry of the ear canal?

It is safe to use neosporin in the entry of the ear canal, because the ear is lined with skin. Most MD's would rather you use an antibiotic. If you are a chronic q-tip user, you should lay off and let your natural ear wax build up to protect the inner ear and help drain water, that's what it's there for. Recommended or not, it is safe to use neosporin. However, be careful not to put it too far into the ear.
