Ok let's start over: Looking for good, clean, gentle advice on burn healing process

[Albert Clark]

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.

Well its the synergistic principle that is important here. That is the combination of all three treatments is better than any one treatment alone. The betadine soaks to inhibit the germs and promote sloughing of dead tissue and scales. The silver sulfadiazine also specific to heal burned tissue. And lastly the Fortaz for the bacterial infection and sepsis that can ensue in any burn tradgedy. So doing all is better than just one or two. You cant wait for the sepsis to occur or worsen you have to treat any burn aggressively.
