Mr. Sofite's skin on his head and neck is all scabbed up and he keeps scratching himself and crying when he does it, it obviously itches and hurts him. Trying to figure out if there's something I can do to help him outside of the vet, since I'm not sure if my dad will pay for him to get seen or not.
I was thinking a cream or spray too, would hydrocortisone for humans work?
I am definitely not a vet, but I have worked in vet clinics.
Animal medications and human medications are mostly the exact same thing. But I'd look at the ingredients, concentration and dosage on one formulated specifically for animals and then check it against the human one
If it's the same stuff in the same amounts, it should be fine
