What is Animalintex Poultice made from?
Animalintex Poultice is a multi-layer dressing that contains boric acid and tragacanth within an absorbent cotton wool layer. It also includes a non-woven cover and a plastic backing sheet. These layers work together to help absorb moisture and keep the area covered.

How long should I leave Animalintex Poultice on?
Application time depends on the situation and your veterinarian’s guidance. In general, it is often left in place for up to 12 hours, then replaced with a fresh pad if needed. Check the area regularly to ensure the bandage remains secure, clean, and not overly tight.
