Janba Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 (edited) I have been using "normal" saline as a wound flusher/wash, eye wash etc for years on my animals and myself with no ill effects and a lot of positive ones, but I do stick to the approximately the 0.9% concentration when I mix it myself which is about 1 level teaspoon to a litre of water. Seawater has a salt content of about 3.5% (google is a wonderful thing) which is a lot less than a tablespoon to a cup of water.

Rebanne Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 Have to say this thread just turned into a slinging match. I get some chlorohexidine from the vet and use that on hotspots and sores only because someone who has since admitted they have no idea was posting advice on how to treat dogs. Ask a vet or vet nurse what bathing a dogs eyes in salty water can do to the dog's sight if they get it wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
