What is antiseptic lotion?
I think that they work the same way as injections but I'm not sure? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As far as I understand nothing like an injection. An antiseptic cream reduces the chance of infection from bacterial agents on the skin. It is a topical treatment, that is it is applied to the skin, and provides a barrier between the vulnerable area and the hostile environment. Furthermore it may have a "drawing" effect, i.e. it draws out infected matter from the wound in the way that a poultice might. It stops the wound from drying up and may be needed to be used for some days to ensure that all infected material is removed before changing to a treatment that allows the wound to close and heal. Then a lotion could be applied which will protect the area and support final healing.

Can you put aqueous cream on dogs?
Absolutely NOT! It's a dog. Not a four legged human. If you think it's infected, get the dog to a vet, If you do not think it's infected, leave it alone. Actually, antiseptic cream would not hurt a dog. The dog will probably just lick it off, but over-the-counter creams and lotions are designed to be safe enough that it shouldn't cause anything except a bad taste. Antiseptic creams and ointments are designed to kill some bacteria and prevent infection in a wound. If a wound has visible pus (yellow or white discharge) or is very red and hot - or if it does not close over within a few days - then you should take the dog to the vet.
