CATDOLL : Can cats use iodine?

Cats can use iodine tincture. Iodine tincture is a common skin disinfectant, and it can be used to disinfect cats' wounds. The concentration of iodine tincture disinfection is best controlled at 2%, and this concentration of iodine tincture has a stronger disinfection effect. If there is medical alcohol at home, you can also apply alcohol again after applying iodine tincture, which can play a role in deiodination and prevent the cat's skin from turning yellow. Pay special attention to not letting the cat lick the skin and hair where iodine is applied after using iodine tincture disinfection, because iodine tincture is irritating to the cat's gastrointestinal tract and will burn the cat's gastrointestinal tract. So after using iodine tincture on the cat, be sure to observe carefully.

What to do if your cat is injured:

1. First, clean the wound. If the cat is injured, cut the hair around the wound, wipe the polluted area with clean water, and then use a cotton swab to dip some iodine to wipe the cat's wound. After the wound is treated, you can spray some Pet Suhe, bandage the cat's wound with gauze, and put an Elizabethan collar on the cat to prevent it from licking the iodine.

2. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the surrounding environment. Do a good job of cleaning and sanitation related to cats in daily life, clean the cat bed regularly, change the cat litter, and bathe the cat appropriately. Disinfectant can also be used for disinfection at home.

3. Provide nutritional supplements for cats after they are injured. Injuries to cats are not only harmful to the body, but also reduce the resistance of cats. At this time, it is necessary to add some nutritious food to the cat to speed up the recovery of the cat's wounds. For example, chicken breast, beef, fish balls, etc. are all very helpful for the cat's physical recovery.
