Hydrogen Peroxide 3% (in the US, the proper medical concentration) is not a controlled substance and should be available from any drug store/chemist, for very little money. The formula is H2O2. Note that industrial concentrations are dangerous -- no more than 3% H2O2 to H2O.

Is it OK to use hydrogen peroxide to rub on a cat's gums for inflammation?

No, it is not OK to use hydrogen peroxide to rub on a cat's gums for inflammation because it is too harsh a product. There is also the risk that the cat will swallow the hydrogen peroxide. Hydrogen peroxide should never be used on: mucus membranes, open wounds, or internally. This applies to anyone or any animal. It kills cells on contact.


What Detoxify alcohol and hydrogen peroxide?

In the body, alcohol is primarily detoxified in the liver through a series of chemical reactions involving enzymes, such as alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, eventually converting it into acetic acid which can be used for energy production. Hydrogen peroxide is broken down by the enzyme catalase into water and oxygen, which are harmless byproducts.


What will happen if you give hydrogen peroxide to a cat and it does not vomit?

Generally, cats are only given hydrogen peroxide to induce vomiting if they have eaten something poisonous. If this is the reason you gave it to your cat, you need to take your cat to a veterinarian right away. The hydrogen peroxide may have gotten the cat to vomit and therefore taken care of any immediate danger, but there could still be some poison in the cat's system, or even other damage depending on what it ate. Also, hydrogen peroxide is given to cats in very small amounts. You would need to put it in a lot of water to be safe for your pet. If you accidentally gave your cat too much, this could be just as dangerous as poison. Hydrogen peroxide is highly corrosive, and can cause damage to membranes in an animal's stomach, resulting in internal bleeding. It can also cause blistering, stomach pain, diarrhea, and further vomiting. If this is the case, your cat still needs taken to a veterinarian promptly.To summarize, if your cat is still showing symptoms of any kind after this, it needs to be taken to a veterinarian. This should be done any time a cat ingests something toxic, if that is why you gave it the hydrogen peroxide. If it is not the reason, and your cat is still showing symptoms, it is most likely caused by the hydrogen peroxide itself. Either situation is dangerous for your cat, and it needs immediate care.
