A few updates: hydrogen peroxide does NOT work in cats, and is never recommended. Also, some cats develop a rare, anaphylatic (fatal) reaction to triple antibiotic ointment, and it shouldn't be used in cats (only dogs). A sterile lubrication (i.e., Paralube, with no antibiotic in it) is preferred and recommended. I also wanted to make you aware of another animal poison control, Pet Poison Helpline at 800-213-6680. You can find more information at our website petpoisonhelpline.com or on Twitter at #PetPoisonHelp. Hope that helps! Thanks for spreading the word on safety in cats.
