Clean Cats Wound Hydrogen Peroxide

On cleaning cat wounds with hydrogen peroxide

Nowadays, there are cat owners who doubt whether they can clean cat wounds with hydrogen peroxide when encountering cat injuries. This is an important matter related to the health of cats and must not be ignored.

With hydrogen peroxide, it has strong oxidizing properties. It can clean up human injuries, remove stains and sterilize, and promote wound cleanliness. However, when applied to cats, the situation is very different. Cat skin is different from human skin. Its skin is sensitive and thin, and the hair is covered. The strong oxidizing properties of hydrogen peroxide may cause damage to the cells in the cat's wound, causing severe pain, making the cat resist struggling, which is not conducive to wound treatment. And it strongly stimulates or delays wound healing, and even causes inflammation.

If a cat is injured, a mild cleaning agent such as normal saline should be preferred. It can gently wash away foreign bodies in the wound, reduce the risk of infection, and cause little irritation to the cat's wound. If the wound is serious, you need to seek medical attention immediately and be professionally treated by a veterinarian. Veterinarians can apply appropriate methods such as debridement, suturing, and medication according to the wound situation to ensure the well-being of the cat.

Cat owners should not rashly use hydrogen peroxide to clean up when they understand the characteristics of the cat's body and encounter cat injuries. Adhering to a prudent attitude, taking the health of the cat as the priority, and choosing the appropriate method is the right way.
