Hi there, my cat has a small cut on his paw pad and I'd like to know if I can clean it with some iodine Betadine, as it's the only thing I have... I've also got some antiseptic spray, but I don't think it has any healing properties. Thanks for your help!

Hi there, you can put some on but he’s almost certain to lick it off (unless he doesn’t like the taste). Just be careful with any little injuries on the paw pads though, as they can get infected quite quickly :/
Hi,
Betadine contains iodine (Povidone-iodine), and Biseptine is also a local antiseptic (containing Chlorhexidine gluconate, Benzalkonium chloride, and Benzyl alcohol).
Either way, your cat is bound to try and lick it off. It’s not a huge deal, but do try to keep them distracted so the product stays on their paw pad for as long as possible.
