It is generally not recommended to allow your dog to ingest Silver Honey ointment, and it's important to prevent them from licking their wound.
- Monitor for signs of gastrointestinal upset, such as vomiting or diarrhea.
- Use an Elizabethan collar (e-collar) or a similar device to prevent licking.
- Observe the wound for any signs of irritation, infection, or delayed healing.
Silver Honey is designed for topical use to aid in wound healing and protect against bacteria. However, like many topical products, it's best to prevent your pet from ingesting it. Consuming the ointment could potentially lead to minor gastrointestinal issues, and licking may also interfere with the healing process of the wound.
For further peace of mind or if you notice any adverse reactions, you can book a vet consultation with one of our qualified professionals at Dial A Vet.
