Hydrogen Peroxide and Kittens Safety

On the safety of hydrogen peroxide to kittens

For those who have hydrogen peroxide, it is widely used in daily cleaning and disinfection. However, when it comes to kittens, its safety needs to be carefully observed.

The body of kittens is very delicate. The fur is tender and the viscera is incomplete. Hydrogen peroxide is oxidizing. Although it is capable of sterilization and disinfection, it can be applied to kittens, which is dangerous.

If a kitten eats hydrogen peroxide by mistake, its stomach will be damaged. The oxidizing property can cause mucosal burns, vomiting and diarrhea in mild cases, and intestinal perforation and stomach rupture in severe cases, endangering life. And the oxygen produced by its decomposition can also be harmful to the fragile stomach of kittens, causing bloating and pneumonia.

When used externally, although the germs on the surface of the body can be removed, the fur of kittens is delicate, and hydrogen peroxide may cause skin allergies, redness, swelling, and itching. The habit of kittens is to lick the fur with the tongue. If hydrogen peroxide remains in the fur, the risk of accidental ingestion is greatly increased.

Therefore, if you want to use hydrogen peroxide on kittens, you must be cautious. If it is for cleaning and disinfection, choose a mild preparation suitable for kittens. If it is not used, you need to check the concentration carefully, use it sparingly, and wash it with water after use to avoid residues.

In general, hydrogen peroxide is not absolutely safe for kittens. Cat owners should prioritize the well-being of kittens and choose items carefully to ensure the safety of kittens.
