Good Morning,
Ok this is the situation . . . My dog, female, 3 yrd old Shih Tzu Abbey. Had a bit of a hot spot on one of her hind legs. She has had this same hot spot before. She get's this spot from licking her hind leg excessively, she does this when she is nervous, usually around this time of year from the firecrackers on May 24, and then it is almost healed when we have Canada Day July 1, but then licking starts again, more firecrackers. Ok, so in the past in an attempt to dry the wound out I have applied Hydrogen Peroxide, as my vet had suggested this, and better than alcohol as it will not "sting" , so I did this and the next morning Abbey had diarhea and vomitting. She is now fine. I did some research and I have read that Hydrogen Peroxide is also used for dogs to induce vomitting.
Does any one have any thoughts around the fact that I may have caused Abbey to vomitt when I put the Hydrogen Peroxide on her wound?
