How to Use Epsom Salts to Treat Cat Wounds
Prepare the Epsom solution with a gallon of warm water directly from the faucet onto a pan. Stir in half a cup of Epsom salt.
Have all the things you need ready and do the procedure on a sink to work at a waist level while gaining control over cat.
Dampen a soft cloth or a short stack of gauze sponges with Epsom solution. Apply and hold this onto the wound. Surface debris from the wound may stick to the cloth as you pull it away. Rinse cloth thoroughly with water to keep the cloth clean.
Reapply the solution for a total of 10 minutes in between intervals of rinsing the cloth with tap water.
