Cortizone is a brand of anti-itch medications, manufactured by Chattem, that contain hydrocortisones.
no, unless you are allergic to it. all it really is is anti-itch, usually in a cream form.
My yorkie is 2 and just had his first case of a "hot spot". In less than 24 hours he chewed himself raw on the underside of his tail and his hind leg. I had no idea what to do. He would not stop biting and he was very stressed and unahppy. I called the vet and was told I could give him 5mg of benedryl per pound. It helped a little. The next day I took him in and it was diagnosed as a hot spot. The vet shaved the area to help with itching and gave him a shot of cortezone. Then he gave me 3 medicines for him: an anti-itching spray, a liquid steroid, and an antibiotic. Hot spots must be treated by your vet or they will spread. They also squeezed his anal glands to make sure there wasn't further irritation. It ran about $130 and well worth it. Type your answer here...
