Yes, Savlon is safe for dogs; it should be used as a one-off until the delivery of suitable cream for your dog or a trip to the vet. Do not let your dog lick it after you have applied it. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, nose and inside ears. By following the’s guidelines, Savlon will be safe for dogs.
What if a dog licks Savlon
Your dog may be tempted to lick the cream off, and this is normal behaviour, so as a responsible dog owner, you will need to supervise your dog to stop them from doing this. Depending on how much your dog has and if your dog is displaying any out of character behaviours such as vomiting, weakness, diarrhoea, or lethargy, seek help from a vet straight away.
This is a partial list of some of the “emergencies” that your pet may encounter. Some are more serious and urgent than others. In virtually all cases, if it happens during our office hours then the first thing you should do is to phone us. If it’s after-hours, then these notes may help you provide first aid and deal with minor problems. These notes provide general advice only and do not replace expert diagnosis and care for serious illnesses. Help is always available for genuine emergencies.
Abscesses are most common in cats after a fight with another cat. They usually present as a painful lump just below the skin consisting of swollen tissue as well as pus. If the abscess has burst, you may see the pus, or you may just notice the wound after your cat/dog has licked it clean. Abscesses need to be drained (to get the pus out) and treated with antibiotics. After-hours you can treat them temporarily by cleaning up the wound with saline (a mixture of 1 tsp of salt in 1L of warm water). Gentle massage can help to expel the pus. But be careful not to get bitten or scratched! If the abscess has not yet burst then you should look for any wounds or scabs and soak them to remove them. This may allow the pus to escape.
These are more difficult to remove and are more likely to require veterinary help. NEVER try to pull the hook back out the way it went in. The barb on the hook will tear the flesh and cause a lot of pain. The proper way to remove a hook is to cut the shaft (with diagonal cutting pliers or similar) and then push the point with the barb through the other side. If the point has not already come through the other side then you will probably need veterinary help, but if it has you may be able to do this yourself. A trip to the vet later for a checkup and antibiotics is always a good idea.
With severe injuries you should always seek immediate help. In other cases, you can do a lot yourself until veterinary care is available. Your pet will probably be breathing fast and its gums will be a bit pale. This is a normal response to stress. It will also be bruised and may have numerous grazes or small cuts. Pain relief can be given at home, and minor wounds can be cared for.
Spider Bites are generally not as dangerous to dogs and cats as they are to people. In most cases even venomous spiders (eg. Red-backs) will cause only pain and swelling at the site of the bite. Pain relief and antibiotics can help. Anti-venoms are available for severe cases where there is vomiting or muscle paralysis.
Ask the Vet! “Is it safe to use Dawn dish soap to wash my dog?”
Knowing how to provide first aid for your dog could save your pooch’s life. It is never a replacement for taking your dog to the vet, but in an emergency it easily becomes clear that dog first aid could be the difference between life and death.
First aid is the care that can be provided by those initially attending the scene of an accident. It can be life saving and is about minimising harm, said Dr Justin Wimpole from the Veterinary Specialist Centre in Sydney and author of First Aid For Dogs. But you must always seek professional veterinary care.
