Neosporin Safe for Chickens?

[lilmillefleur]

I don't know if this is in the right section (it's not serious which is why I didn't put this in emergencies/diseases).
Anyway, is Neosporin safe to use on a chicken's comb? The active ingredients are bactracin, neomycin, and polymycin. I do not see any -caine ingredients.
Thanks for the help!

Yes if it is "NON PAIN RELIEF". I use it on Rooster wear on the back of hen's heads.

Does it say if it is non pain relief anywhere?

It would say only "with pain relief" if it was. Or perhaps: PLUS.
Post a picture.

okay one minute

It's a small package. It does not say 'pain relief' anywhere. I'm assuming that it's safe.

It should say ORIGINAL OINTMENT.

It says "original" at the top. Anyways, I put it on, it's been a minute and she didn't explode or anything. I think that means success!

My pic is from my chicken first aid box. The tube has one squirt left. It has been used a lot on my poultry. I breed birds. The roos can be rough. It hasn't harmed a hen yet from using the ointment. I've been waiting for someone else to jump in the conversation. SURE there are a lot of products you can buy for your chickens, but if neosporin is all you've got for the moment.. use it. As long as it's not printed pain relief.
