Cat Chemical Burn

Many household products such as detergents (dishwasher and laundry) and oven,drain, or toilet bowl cleaners can cause chemical burns of the skin or eyes. Mace can also cause severe burns.

Cat Chemical Burn Home Remedies

Wash the affected area with a steady stream of fresh water - preferably with a hose or hose attachment in the sink or bathtub. Donot touch the substance yourself, and do not spread it further over your cat's body.

Dacriose, a sterile eyewash, can also be used to wash away the chemical from your cat's eyes. A rinse (one quart water and one teaspoon of baking soda) can be used with acids (toilet-bowl cleaner, mace) but not alkalis (drain cleaners).

Cat Chemical Burn Treatment

For alkali burns, thirty minutes of rinsing may be necessary. Severe chemical burns mayrequire hourly administrations of medication.
