Can I use Savlon for my pet's bath even without wounds or scars?

Savlon would not be recommend since it may cause stomach upset if licked and ingested. Dettol can be used if diluted. You must not allow Pavi to lick the area washed though. Thoroughly rinse after bathing and use an e-collar (cone) to prevent licking or chewing. ideally, she should be physically examined by your veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment of any wounds or infection.

Disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths twice daily at least for the next 4 days. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking/scratching. If not healing by then a check up, appropriate disinfection and possibly antibiotics (oral, topical or in a shampoo formulation) are needed to solve the problem.

Sorry to see that sugar has a lesion on her skin. My recommendations for that would be to get a hair clipper and remove all the hair on and around the affected area. Once this is done I would pain either a diluted Betadine or chlorhexidine solution and scrub the area until it is pretty clean. After having done this I would have obtain a triple antibiotic ointment or something with an antibiotic and steroid in it and apply it generously to the area one to two times a day. In addition I would obtain an Elizabethan collar to prevent sugar from performing any sort of self-mutilation which will ultimately delay the healing process. In some cases these lesions can require systemic antibiotics in which case it will not clear up and you will have to take sugar to the veterinarian to be seen. Hope this helps take care.

Although a picture would help to give you more specific advices, generally speaking I would recommend to wait until the lesion is completely resolved before having him groomed and bathed.

In these cases the most appropriate disinfection depends upon the location of the wound. Generally speaking disinfection may be started at home with very diluted hibiscrub or betadine or salted water baths. Buster collar may be useful as well to avoid any licking/scratching. Please give us more informations about the wound and possibly attach a pic on another question on the forum so we can give more specific advices.

Thanks for reaching out about Violet and including a photo. This foot/toe appears fairly swollen. The problem with topical medications is they do not penetrate deeply into wounds, so systemic antibiotics are recommended. If the bird is not placing weight on the foot, a fracture or other damage needs to be considered, where a veterinary visit is recommended. Wounds can be gently treated with warm water and a mild betadyne solution, but still will not penetrate deeply. Good luck.
