| The only thing that I know for sure that it will do is to change the
color of the fur if it is dark. This can happen after you have applied
it many times and for a long time. The Fizziness might bother the cat
too.

| I wouldn't suggest it. Hydrogen peroxide is poisinous if it is
ingested. You're going to put it on the cat's paw and in turn, the cat
is going to lick it's paw.

| I've used it to clean scratches. I don't use much, but I haven't had
any problems up to now. I use the 3% solution you get at the drug
store. The best I have found for wounds is (and I can't spell it)
basatracin (gel). There is an over the counter product that is as
good, ask your pharmacist. It's also good for your scratchs as well.

| I am not so certain that hydrogen peroxide is poisonous. My dentist
gave me a mouth rinse to use and it is almost 90% peroxide.
I have used peroxide to clean wounds on stray cats and the fizzing does
bother them. If you have nothing else, use the peroxide, but if you
can get to a store, a better choice to use would be Betadine or
Clinidine.

| When my Chester had surgery, and developed a secondary infection, my vet
instructed me on how to flush his incision out. The vet left the top and
bottom of his incision open. He gave me a syringe, and told me to fill it up
with hydrogen peroxide and squirt it into one end of the incision. When I did
this, Chester had two little foaming "volcanoes" on his tummy. He seemed to
really like it, and never had a problem with getting sick on it.
I also used it on a gash he had on his back, and it never changed the color of
his fur (which is black).
Peroxide is ideal for puncture type wounds, as the bubbling reaction releases
oxygen. This kills anaerobic bacteria that may be lurking around down in the
wound.

| 526.7 | Where I work we use it to clean off any blood stains from surgery | PTPM06::TALCOTT | | Wed Mar 31 1993 09:39 | 4 |
| We also recommend it when you need to induce vomitting - at least in dogs, don't
know about cats.

| When one of my cats came home with a cut, the vet told me to use
it also, so it should be alright. Perhaps, just to be on the safe side
you should call your vet and see what he/she says about it.

| My cat had an abcess froma wound that the doctor left open after
the surgery, and told me to squirt hydro-p into the wound with a syringe
then the antibiotic cream that you insert into the wound.
But my vet always prescribes hydrogen to clean woundbecauseit does
sting and it disinfects before any further treatment.
