## Abstract

Described is a method for treating an animal for swine exudative epidermitis wherein said animal is administered an effective amount of at least one metallic salt of pyridine-2-thione-N-oxide.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of treating an animal for swine exudative epidermitis which comprises administering to said animal an effective amount of at least one metallic salt of pyridine-2-thione-N-oxide to treat or prevent swine exudative epidermitis.
