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.
