Any Type Of Household Disinfectant/antiseptic?


 Share

Recommended Posts

Spud seems to have a small nick on one of his pads - walked on something sharpish, somewhere I guess. I'd like to wash it before putting some neocort on it - however, I only have betadine and dettol in the house, nothing animal specific.

What should I use or is there something I can get from the chemist that would be better?

How much is it bleeding? Is he limping? If it only tiny, but bleeding a bit and it's very sore.. .. there "could" be a sliver of glass in there.

If it's just a nick with no/little blood ..just carry on as normal...

No blood, but he is limping a bit. I couldn't see anything in it just a little flap (match head size on 55kg dogs foot) which is on the front of the big pad and I think it rubs against the others. Wondering if it feels like a paper cut on a finger which usually sting like crazy. Sadly no vets open at this time on a Sunday. If he's still limping in the morning it's off to the vet.
