Unless the burn was so bad that sepsis was an immediate concern, I would forego the betadine soaks. Silver sulfadiazine cream is the topical of choice. You need a prescription for it. It is used in human burn victims as well.
The idea should be to keep it clean, keep it dry and minimize stress as much as possible. The silver sulfa cream applied twice a day, along with a paper towel substrate and moderate humidity is the best course of action until the animal heals.
