Silver Sulfadiazine Cream
Hi all! I just wanted to say this forum has been amazing and I've been lurking for quite a while. I had a quick question, my girl has a wound that I am treating with SSD cream (vet prescribed). She hasn't gone into shed since I've started, so this question is just for future reference. My question is should I continue to apply the cream when she starts showing signs of shedding, or should I wait until after she's done to resume application? I am not sure if putting it on top of her shedding skin might be wasteful.
Thanks a bunch!

Thank you! I will be speaking with her tomorrow, but I figured I would try to ask here since my curiosity gets the best of me, lol.

I hear ya! ;) I don't know how bad (or deep) the wound is, or how well the healing is coming along, or if this is the first shed since the injury? Sometimes when a snake sheds it will stick & not come off the wound anyway. So in my mind, there might be a reason your vet will suggest to keep putting on the cream.

Makes complete sense when you put it that way. I really appreciate your honest input! Thank you!

Thank you! I definitely intend to keep it on hand after seeing the miracles it's working on my baby girl for any future incidents. :)
