Some bumps and bruises in life are inevitable, and dogs are geniuses who like it They exercise well, so their chances of being bruised are much greater than ours, so it is necessary to keep some disinfection tools at home. Because not all situations require going to the hospital. Occasionally, some slight bruises or scratches can be dealt with by yourself. So what are the drugs that can help disinfect dogs?
1. Chlorhexidine alcohol disinfection: Use 75% chlorhexidine alcohol to wipe the wound surface with a cotton swab. It can kill purulent Pseudomonas aeruginosa and prevent wound suppuration, but this This disinfectant is somewhat irritating.
2. Iodophor disinfection: Iodine is a powerful disinfectant that has good killing effect on bacteria and mold, and is irritating to the skin and mucous membranes. Always disinfect the skin at the injection site and wipe away local chronic inflammation.
3. Oxidant disinfection: This type of disinfectant mainly includes hydrogen peroxide (hydrogen peroxide), potassium permanganate, etc. Potassium permanganate is relatively easily available in households, and an aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.1% is commonly used. Mainly used for wound disinfection.
Surfactant disinfection This type of disinfectant often includes chlormethionine, chlorhexidine (disinfectant) and chlorhexidine. Common concentrations for skin disinfection are: 1% chlormethionine, 0.5% chlorhexidine, and 0.05%-0.1% chlorhexidine. Among them, chlorhexidine has the strongest bactericidal effect. It is still effective when pus and blood remain, and has low toxicity and irritation. It is an ideal disinfectant. All three of the above disinfectants can be used in pets’ “medicated baths”.
So for some relatively minor wound cleaning and disinfection, we can generally use these drugs instead of sending the dog to the hospital in a big way. We can handle such small things by ourselves.
