Betadine, which contains povidone-iodine, is an antiseptic that can help prevent infection in minor wounds, including burns. However, it's important to use it cautiously, as it may cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals. For first-degree or minor burns, it's generally recommended to clean the area gently and apply a sterile dressing without using harsh antiseptics. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper burn care and treatment.

Can you use betadine on an animal wound?
A 5% betadine solution is best for dogs and cats. Mainly use for aseptically cleaning of wounds and surgical suture (after spaying and neutering). Watch for excessive discharge on the wound site, if this happens. Flush it with saline solution and the betadine to dry it. Minimize the use of betadine to once every other day and watch for allergic reaction. If your dogs or cats are allergic to seafood, DO NOT USE it. Consult a nearest DVM if symptoms persist. Be kind to animals. Yours truly, Jon D. DVM.
