Hydrogen Peroxide on Cat Scratch
Whether cats can use hydrogen peroxide to scratch wounds is a matter of concern to everyone.
Hydrogen peroxide is highly oxidizing. When debridement and disinfection are performed, it can cause local tissue damage, stimulate nerve endings, and cause severe pain to the injured. And cat skin is more sensitive than human skin, and hydrogen peroxide is especially irritating to it.
If a cat is scratched, the first thing to do is to gently rinse the wound with flowing water and mild soap to remove dirt and bacteria. After rinsing, use a disinfectant with less irritation such as iodophor and wipe it carefully.
If the wound is deep, bleeding, or there is a sign of infection, such as redness, swelling, fever, exudation, etc., take the cat to the veterinarian immediately. The veterinarian will take appropriate treatment, suture, or medication according to the wound condition to ensure the health of the cat.
In short, for the treatment of cat scratching wounds, choose a gentle and effective method to avoid using hydrogen peroxide to avoid hurting the cat's skin and delaying the injury.
