Directions: Pre-bathe animal with a mild shampoo and dry thoroughly. If necessary, spread coat apart with fingers to expose irritated area. Massage lotion directly on the affected area. Only a thin coat is necessary. Small applications at frequent intervals give the best results. For long-haired breeds, it may be necessary to clip hair from the irritated area to expose skin. Use an ELIZABETHAN COLLAR (E-COLLAR), if necessary, to keep pet from licking the medicine while being treated.
