sudacream - really dopey question (sorry)

Okay I think I am having a senior moment - and I feel like such a wally having to ask this :oops: - so my apologies.

I noticed Twinkle had a sore bottom today (along with her lovely moult :roll: ) so once I had cleaned it I put some sudacream on it (keep calling it sudafed which shows how dopey I am today).

I smeared it on and brought her indoors to sit on some vet bed - do I wash the sudacream off now (I put it on this morning) or do I just leave it on and wash her in the morning. :?

If she was a person I would leave it to soak in - but i don't think it will soak in through fur.

Thanks

lol dopey Pam :D (and Twinkle)
 
Hiya Pam. you can leave the cream to just soak in overnight no problem :)
When you first apply it you can pat off any excess with a tissue after a minute or two, and then just leave it. Add more cream when the original cream disappears into the skin :)
If you need to get the cream into the skin, we usually trim the fur around that area with safety scissors, then you can get to the skin better :wink:
hope this makes sense? it has been a looooonnnnggggg day :lol:
 
thanks Adele :D

I feel a bit guilty as she is off to Lynda and Jim's for the weekend - I think I will leave the cutting of the fur to Lynda's steady hands.

It's not that I am a wimp, but...........

lol Pam
 
:shock: Oooooo this'll be fun fun fun! :lol: Just you bring her to her Aunty Lynda tomorrow, she'll be fine :wink: She's probably been holding off having a sore foofoo til the last moment, cos she knew she was coming to us :lol:
