Burns in Pomeranians

There are different types of burns that can happen to a Pomeranian or any canine for that matter. Burns can include sunburn to the skin, chemical burns, electrical burns, or heat burns from hot liquids or hot objects. If for any reason you think your Pomeranian has received a burn, please call your vet before trying to self treat your pup. Not only can burns happen in the ways mentioned, but the burns can also be different degrees of severity. For instance, first-degree burns may cause pain but the fur or skin is still intact. Second and third-degree burns are often more severe with the fur and/or skin either partially or completely gone. If possible, identify the type of burn that has occurred so that you can inform your vet. Do not apply any type of cream or ointment unless your pet clinic Cherry Hill NJ recommends it.
