Can I Use Hydrogen Peroxide in My Cats Ear
It is a common question for cat owners whether hydrogen peroxide can be used in cat ears. Hydrogen peroxide, which is highly oxidizing, is quite common in daily cleaning and disinfection. As for cat ears, use with caution.
Cat ears have delicate structures, short and curved external auditory canals, and fragile eardrums. If hydrogen peroxide is dropped into cat ears rashly, it may cause many problems. First, hydrogen peroxide quickly breaks down and produces oxygen when it encounters catalase in the tissue. This process may cause discomfort or even pain in the cat's ears, making the cat resist struggling or injuring the ears. Second, its strong oxidation may damage the delicate tissues of the ears, causing inflammation, redness, etc., and severe cases may affect hearing.
Therefore, it is generally not recommended to clean cat ears with hydrogen peroxide. If the cat has ear diseases, such as earwax, inflammation, etc., it is advisable to take the cat to the veterinarian first. The veterinarian can perform an ear examination according to the specific condition and give an appropriate cleaning and treatment plan. Common cat-specific ear cleaning solution is mild in nature, can effectively remove earwax, inhibit bacteria, and does not damage ear tissue.
Cat owners should keep in mind that the health of the cat's ear is very important. In case of ear problems, do not self-medicate. Follow the veterinarian's advice to keep the cat's ear healthy.
