I, personally, think anything on an open wound is stingy and I would quite happily be GA'd for anything until they'd healed!! (especially cat scratches)

I agree completly Fiona, it was just so traumatic for her and the fact that it must have been so painful she actually jumped up in agony even though she was under ga.

From my experience, on open wounds etc pevidine is very stingy. Quite a few years ago, after halloween, I done a visit to pick up a dog after a call from a member of the public. A beautiful golden labrador had arrive at his house and was in need of urgent medical attention. Our guess was that she had been so scared by the fireworks that she totally shredded herself on barbed wire or similar. You could have put your whole arm down her chest. Anyway, put her under ga to see what we could do and the minute we touched her with pevidine, she screamed and jumped/fell off the table the pain was so bad. It was truely horrific and haunted me for weeks afterwards. I never liked/used pevidine after that. I am now a big hibiscrub fan.

How about getting in touch with the rep or looking on the back of the bottles. If you go onto www.animalcare.co.uk they have all their dilution rates online & you can request a booklet which gives you them too. It's in the practice hygiene section.

But HIbiscrub has been designed to be used neat. Can't remember about Pevidine cos we don't use it.

Hibi is supposed to be used neat. all others are usually a 1-2% dilution or sometimes a 5%, , the 5 usually being parvocide as a general cleaner.......thats just off the top of my head, so dont take it as read.
