    Animax is a corticosteroid used to treat skin and ear infections in cats and dogs. It is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in dogs and cats only. People are playing Russian roulette if they use pet medications for themselves, according to Consumer Health Information Corporation.

    On the Other: Animax Works Well for Animals

    Animax can help your dog or cat with inflammation of the skin, ear and bacterial infections. It also treats eczema in animals.

    Bottom Line

    Many ear infections in children will clear up on their own, according to MayoClinic.com. If antibiotics are needed, the first choice for childrens' ears is amoxicillin. Do not experiment on your child with pet medication. It could be dangerous.
