No, don't use anything with zinc in it.
Derma-Gel is a great alternative, but I think you
can only find it on line. :(

Here's a link.

What about Gold Bond? I was trying to find something quick at the store,,,but if cannot find something I will have to order that for him.

UGH, I'm really am not sure.
Most likely he can groom himself there so I just wanted to make sure
he wouldn't ingest something that could harm him. :dono

Let me direct SammysMom to this thread for her opinion.

Sorry. I just messaged SammysMom so hopefully she can shed some light on
something OTC that would be safe. :imp :tilt

I've used Desitin but only where it couldn't be licked. A&d Ointment is good and easy to come by but Dermagel is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. Be sure to bathe the area before putting anything on it. I've also used Gold Bond to make sure skin was dry--also for a non licker.

A & D is what was used on a squirrel who had urine burn because of his paralysis. Clean the area and dry it carefully then apply the A & D to the area.:grouphug

[Norkthesquirrel]

So if he happens to lick the A &D he should be fine? Im not sure he will lick it but want to make sure if he does he will not be hurt. When I have any lotion on my hands he refuses to be on me.

Thank you Nancy, I really do appreciate it...Poor Nork I know he is getting annoyed with me, spreading his legs looking at it.

If I am not mistaken, the older version of the A&D doesn't have zinc. I think I am right about that, but I will text someone I believe knows.

:thankyou

This is what I've used on the babies I've had...and it did protect and help heal the chapped areas :dono no zinc but it did say white petroleum jelly...I think I've seen where SammysMom has said not to use petroleum products :hidechair luckily I had no problems ...thank goodness :grin3

Well, I got a response from SSM and she said the A&D ointment doesn't have zinc oxide, but that it will clog pores...:shakehead
She said for a rash, use cornstarch. :thumbsup

[SammysMom]

Well, he's gonna love this one... :eek Any chance of a pic?

[SammysMom]

Do you have any silvadene cream?

[Norkthesquirrel]

oh goodness,,,I hope Nork Will be okay, I went and got the A & D...He never licked it. He did smell and started running everywhere. His reaction was what the HECK mom,,,,he rubbed all of it on his stuff animals. :eek

"Oh the humiliation!!!" Poor little bub...that looks sore. A little cornstarch might go a long way to dry that up. :grouphug
What a little dollie!:Love_Icon

[Norkthesquirrel]

Thank you,,I will try the cornstarch this evening!
