How to Dilute Food Grade Hydrogen Peroxide for Treating a Cat

As much as you want nothing to happen to your cat, cats get into fights and get hurt. When this happens, it's important to clean the wounds, so infection doesn't set in, and hydrogen peroxide will help get rid of any nasty germs in the wound. However, the hydrogen peroxide needs to be diluted. If it's too strong, it can damage the tissue inside the wound.

Things You'll Need

• Hydrogen peroxide Container (with a spout is good, for administering later) Water

Instructions

Diluting

1. Measure out how much hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) you need.

2. Measure out the same amount of water.

3. Pour the two liquids into a single container; if you have one with a spout, it will help when you go to administer the medicine.

Tips & Warnings

• Let the H2O2 soak into the wound until it stops fizzing, then wash out with water.

• Only use pure H2O2 for the first washing out of a wound, since it will kill cells. After the first wash, switch to the diluted mixture.
