Thrombophob Ointment 20g for Cat
Cats are agile and active, but minor injuries from falls, rough play, or surgical procedures are common. Swelling and bruising can cause discomfort and delay healing if not managed properly.
Thrombophob Ointment works by:
- Reducing localized inflammation
- Supporting microcirculation
- Minimizing bruising appearance
- Preventing minor superficial infection
- Promoting faster tissue recovery
It is ideal for inclusion in a feline first-aid kit.
Key Ingredients & Their Role
| Ingredient | Function |
| Heparin Sodium | Anti-inflammatory; improves local blood flow; reduces clot-related swelling |
| Cetrimide | Mild antiseptic; helps prevent secondary bacterial contamination |
These ingredients work together to decrease tissue congestion and accelerate natural healing processes.
Indications – When to Use
Thrombophob Ointment is suitable for:
- Minor bruising from impact or falls
- Soft tissue swelling
- Localized inflammation
- Sprains and strains (superficial)
- Post-surgical mild swelling (external use only)
- Minor contusions from play or fights
⚠ Not suitable for deep wounds, punctures, or infected open lesions without veterinary advice.

- Clean the affected area with saline or vet-approved antiseptic.
- Pat dry gently.
- Apply a thin, even layer of ointment.
- Repeat 2–3 times daily.
- Prevent licking for 20–30 minutes post-application.
Condition-Based Dosage Table
| Condition | Amount | Frequency | Duration |
