I always have a pint of it around! It used to be sold in drugstores for humans for years until it just became unpopular or considered "too old fashioned".
It's nasty and ugly (black ichthammol) and smelly but it does work!
My spell checker tells me the replacement for ichthammol is Ishmael ::lmao::
