"This is a question for your Vet"
Obviously Vets are not frequenting this site. There are Hydrocortisone sprays and creams available on line via many of the "Pet Medication" sites. My vet actually has a cortisone injection he gives to one of our cats. As to if is OK to put what is intended for human use be careful as while the Hydrocortisone could be beneficial what is used to make up the cream or spray that delivers it may not.
