Burns in Dogs like the Beagle

Dogs can get sunburns and other types of burns just like people can. If you think your Beagle or other breed or canine companion has been burned, please notify your vet. Burns can come from different sources. There are sunburns, chemical burns, electrical burns, and burns from hot liquids or hot objects. Treatment should be given right away in accordance with the type of burn. Just make sure you follow your vet’s instructions. Never apply an antibiotic or cream to a burn. There are different degrees of burns that require different care. First-degree burns can cause skin irritation and pain, but the skin is most likely still in tact. Second and third-degree burns will be more severe with the skin either partially or completely gone. Treatment should be provided by a professional veterinarian with follow up at home treatment done under a vet’s orders and supervision. Click to learn more from your vet Murrieta, CA.
