Yes...like Michelle said - it is compounded to be absorbed through the
skin...the ear is rich in blood vessels and doesn't have the hair so it's
the perfect place to administer it to get it into the blood stream.  My
compounding pharmacist gave me little finger cots (they look like something
planned parenthood would distribute LOL) for the transdermal application.
That is so that the medication is absorbed by the cat but not by your
finger.

store is topical and meant to treat the skin, I think, while this is meant
to affect the cat internally and is just applied to the ears where the blood
vessels absorb it. It is a much thinner cream, and the pharmacy compounds it
into little syringes.  It works amazingly for Patches-- she literally had a
bald belly and legs and they were bright pink, and since I have been
assiduously giving her this twice a day she has a full thick coat of fur
there.
