Is neosporin safe to use on a mouse?

Answer by  fsmandelbaum (59)

Yes, neosporin is safe to use on a mouse. She won't like it when you apply it, but it will help to prevent or ward off any sort of infection. Be sure to rub it in well and clean off the excess to prevent ingestion. Apply 2x/day and see a vet if the wound is open.

The ingredients found in neosporin include: Bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B which are antibiotics that kill bacteria on your skin. Most medicines are animal tested. One would think that using neosporin is safe to use on a mouse; however, neosporin is not safe for consumption so make sure the mouse cannot consume the neosporin.

Yes, neosporin can be used on mice in small amounts. Get the kind with a pain reliever and apply gently with a cotton swab. Make sure to wipe off any excess and prevent your pet from ingesting the product as it could be dangerous/toxic. Then get a second opinion from a vet who specialises in exotics/small animals.
