Canine burns can be minor or very serious. It’s best to call your vet as soon as you realize your dog has been burned. You may be instructed on what to do initially over the phone before bringing your dog to the vet. If the burn isn’t too serious at home treatment may be all that is needed. In most situations, burns are either caused by chemicals, electricity, or heat from liquids or hot objects. If possible, find out how your dog received the burn as this will help with treatment. With first-degree burns your dog may be in pain, but the skin will still be intact. Second and third-degree burns will be more severe with the skin either partially or completely gone. Please do not apply any ointment or cream to the burn. Consult with your veterinarian Leesburg, VA before any at home treatment is given.
