This just happened to my 5 lb Yorkie and I freaked! She ate some, about the size of a quarter. I called the National Poison Line and they suggested I call the Animal Poison line but warned me that they charge for any info. Great! It cost $35 for them to tell me since this is a topical solution the body will not digest it. Worse I can expect is vomiting or diarrhea, my dog had neither, it's been 2 days. Hope this helps. Answer 2: Silvadene or SSD Topical is considered dangerous to humans if swallowed. I can't find any references on dogs. Were it my dog, I'd call the US National Poison Hotline at 1-800-222-1222 right now and ask them -- they're a terriffic group. Do this fast please.

How do you heal Burns from diode laser hair removal?
Leave the scab on the burned area alone. Keep it clean and dry. It should gently peel off on its own. Then you can use some neosporin or silvadene cream on it for a few days. The area will be pink after the scab falls off. As it heals, it may hyperigment. You can use 4% hydroquinone cream twice a day to help the area lighten. Sometimes the area is hypopigmented and so appears whiter. In that case, dont cover it with tanning cream. Just watch and wait and use a concealer. It may darken to normal, or eventually hyperpigment. If the latter, ude your hydroquinone. Azaleic acid cream works well to enhance the effects of hydroquinone.
