FOR VETERINARY USE ONLY — for external topical application on skin and wounds. Use under the guidance of a licensed veterinarian. Do not apply near the eyes, inside the ears, or on mucous membranes. Do not allow the pet to lick the treated area immediately after application; use an Elizabethan collar if licking cannot be prevented. Discontinue and consult your veterinarian if irritation, worsening inflammation, or delayed healing occurs. Avoid prolonged use over large body surface areas. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C, away from direct sunlight. Keep the tube tightly capped after use.
Drools ColloPet-Ag Nano Crystalline Silver in Collagen Base Wound Ointment for Dogs & Cats | 15gm
Drools ColloPet-Ag is a veterinary topical wound ointment that delivers nano crystalline silver in a collagen base, pairing sustained broad-spectrum antimicrobial cover with a matrix that supports the wound bed while it heals. Nano crystalline silver releases silver ions steadily at the wound surface rather than in a single burst, giving prolonged antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts, including many antibiotic-resistant strains, while collagen provides a scaffold that supports granulation tissue formation and epithelial migration across the wound. ColloPet-Ag is used on open wounds, burns, ulcers, surgical sites, and infected or slow-healing skin lesions in dogs and cats. Supplied in a 15g tube.
Composition & Mechanism of Action
-
Nano Crystalline Silver — broad-spectrum topical antimicrobial. Silver in nanocrystalline form presents a very large surface area relative to its mass, allowing a sustained release of biologically active silver ions (Ag+) into the wound exudate over an extended period rather than a short initial spike. Silver ions are bactericidal through several simultaneous routes: they bind to thiol (sulfhydryl) groups on bacterial enzymes and structural proteins, denaturing them and disabling essential metabolic pathways; they disrupt the bacterial cell wall and cytoplasmic membrane, causing leakage of intracellular contents; they interfere with the bacterial respiratory electron transport chain; and they bind bacterial DNA, preventing replication. Because silver attacks multiple targets at once rather than one enzyme or receptor, bacterial resistance to silver develops far less readily than resistance to conventional antibiotics, and silver retains activity against many resistant organisms. The spectrum covers Gram-positive bacteria including Staphylococcus species, Gram-negative bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, and fungi and yeasts including Candida species.
-
Collagen Base — structural wound-healing matrix. Collagen is the principal structural protein of the dermis, and a collagen base provides a three-dimensional scaffold onto which fibroblasts, keratinocytes, and new blood vessels can migrate. It supports granulation tissue formation, attracts the cells involved in repair to the wound bed, helps maintain a moist wound healing environment, and absorbs exudate from weeping wounds. Collagen also acts as a sacrificial substrate for the excess matrix metalloproteinases found in chronic, non-healing wounds, protecting the animal's own newly formed tissue from degradation.
Therapeutic Class
- Veterinary topical antimicrobial wound dressing ointment — nano crystalline silver with collagen wound-healing matrix, for dogs and cats
Key Benefits
- Sustained release of silver ions gives prolonged antimicrobial cover between applications
- Broad-spectrum activity against bacteria, fungi, and yeasts, including many antibiotic-resistant organisms
- Multi-target mechanism means resistance develops far less readily than with conventional antibiotics
- Collagen base supports granulation tissue formation and epithelial migration for faster, cleaner closure
- Helps maintain a moist wound healing environment while absorbing excess exudate
- Useful on chronic and slow-healing wounds where conventional topical therapy has stalled
- Smooth ointment base spreads easily over irregular wound surfaces
Indications
- Open wounds, cuts, lacerations, abrasions, and bite wounds
- Post-surgical incision sites and post-operative wound care
- Burns and scald injuries
- Skin ulcers, pressure sores, and decubitus wounds
- Infected, contaminated, and slow-healing or chronic non-healing wounds
- Infected skin lesions and secondary bacterial or fungal wound infection
- Degloving injuries and granulating wound beds requiring matrix support
Directions for Use
- For external topical use only
- Clean and gently dry the wound, and clip the surrounding hair coat where necessary, before application
- Apply a thin, even layer of ointment over the wound surface and a small margin of surrounding skin
- Cover with a dressing where appropriate, or prevent licking with an Elizabethan collar
- Apply once or twice daily, or at the frequency and for the duration directed by your veterinarian
- Continue the full course as advised, even once the wound appears to be closing
