Can I Spray Hydrogen Peroxide on My Cats Wound

On whether hydrogen peroxide can be sprayed on cat wounds
If a cat is injured, the feeder often wonders whether hydrogen peroxide can be sprayed for healing. However, it should be treated with caution.

Hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing and is occasionally used in human trauma cleaning. It is intended to sterilize and disinfect, remove stains and clean wounds. However, it is not suitable for cat body.

Cat skin and mucous membranes are more delicate and sensitive than humans. Hydrogen peroxide sprayed on cat wounds, although it may be able to disinfect for a short time, is highly oxidizing and can easily cause irritation and damage to cat tissue, causing severe pain in cats, and delaying wound healing.

When a cat is injured, it can be gently rinsed with normal saline to remove foreign bodies and blood stains from the wound. If the injury is mild, apply iodophor for pets after cleaning, which is less irritating and can effectively disinfect and help the wound prevent infection. If the injury is serious, do not treat it with hydrogen peroxide by yourself. Take the cat to the doctor as soon as possible, and the veterinarian will diagnose and treat it professionally. According to the cat's injury, choose the appropriate treatment.

In short, after the cat is injured, in order to protect its health, do not rashly spray it with hydrogen peroxide. Take the correct method or ask the veterinarian to promote the cat's injury to heal early.
