Hydrogen Peroxide Puppy Impetigo
On the treatment of pyoderma in puppies with hydrogen peroxide
Pyoderma in puppies is one of the common skin diseases in dogs. This disease is mostly caused by bacterial infection, and the common symptoms are erythema, pustules, hair removal, etc. If not treated in time, it may worsen the condition and affect the health of puppies.
Hydrogen peroxide, chemical name hydrogen peroxide, has strong oxidizing properties. In the medical field, it is often used as a disinfectant. Its disinfection principle is that when in contact with tissues, it can release new oxygen, which can destroy the structure and metabolism of bacteria, thus achieving the effect of sterilization.
When puppies suffer from pyoderma, hydrogen peroxide can be used as an important treatment method. When treating, gently wash the affected area with normal saline to remove surface dirt and secretions. After that, apply or rinse the affected area of pyoderma with an appropriate amount of hydrogen peroxide. When applying, you need to act gently to avoid irritating the skin of the puppy. When hydrogen peroxide comes into contact with bacteria, it reacts and exerts a bactericidal effect. However, when using hydrogen peroxide, the concentration selection is quite critical. Although the concentration is too high, although the bactericidal power is strong, it is too irritating to the delicate skin of the puppy and easy to cause skin damage; if the concentration is too low, it is difficult to achieve the ideal bactericidal effect. Generally speaking, a medical concentration of 3% hydrogen peroxide is more suitable.
It should be noted that the use of hydrogen peroxide to treat puppy pyoderma is only a preliminary treatment. Follow-up should also closely observe the changes in the puppy's condition, such as whether the pustules are reduced and whether the erythema has subsided. If the condition does not improve or continues to worsen, be sure to bring the dog to the doctor in time, follow the veterinary advice, or cooperate with the use of antibiotics and other drugs for systematic treatment. At the same time, in daily feeding, it is necessary to pay attention to the cleanliness and dryness of the living environment of the puppy, and regularly disinfect the kennel and supplies to reduce the chance of pyoderma recurrence and ensure the healthy growth of the puppy.
