I received another email in regards to my question about the possible formula changes. "Thank you for your reply. I can confirm that Lavender has been part of Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream since its inception. Sudocrem Antiseptic Healing Cream has been on the market for 80 years with its current formula." It could be that new labeling requirements required them to list the fragrance. So just because the old labeling did not list it does not exactly mean it did not exist in their formula. Since it is the last ingredient on the list it is quite possibly did not make up x% required to make them have to list it as an ingredient. I am sure that newer labeling requirements or a a internal decision to disclose all ingredients prompted the label changes. It is all speculation on my part.

Yep, thats basically what was mentioned on the Facebook group post. It would especially be risky not to disclose the information to their consumers since it has potential to turn into a lawsuit.

I also sent an email to thecompany and they confirmed that the 'Lavender fragrance' is Essential Oil based in Sudocrem and has always been present in the forumula. I'm researching an alternative

For emergency use only it shouldn't be dangerous, should it? I got some in case mine ever get open wounds but haven't even opened it yet.

The Lavender oil...is an EO. That is bothersome (this can cause organ issues). What is also bothersome is there is no real alternative that I've encountered. I looked up why the use of the EO as you certainly cannot smell it. Lavender oil is used for it's antibacterial and healing properties. There is a risk. What else can be said. What level do you want to play that unknown risk? Can you use it....what are the alternatives available and what are you willing to risk? I've been using it for years for wounds. I don't have an answer for you ciao

When ever you got open wounds, I think personally that it would be better to use antiseptic solution (Iodine based wound cleanser) or plain water (possibly with 1tsp of salt) and gauze. I have a Betadine Solution and betadine antiseptic ointment for minor situations in the medical kit for open wounds. I've always been warned not to use alcohol or hydrogen peroxide on the wounds since those may damage the tissue. Minor situations where you have simply a cut, or an abrasion, you can try cleaning the wound with water, then apply an antiseptic solution or plain salt water with a gauze or a clean cloth. If there is bleeding, It's best to cover area with a sterile gauze or clean cloth and apply pressure directly onto the wound to stop the bleeding, then tape it to keep the wound from reopening and get to a vet. Puncture wounds or long, deep wounds, shouldn't be meddled with and be seen by a vet asap. My basic rules I stick to for emergencies.

What I had always liked about it is that they hate the taste, so don't try to lick wounds, and it helps tremendously with touchy intros

That's what I use it for sherry I have never had a ferret who liked the taste of it plus it stays where you put it its like glue doing its job where it should be doing it years ago I had a whole hob who had a fight with another hob and he was literally skinned down his back a one inch by five inch wound the vet wanted me to put him to sleep I refused I simply flushed the wound twice a day and eased off any scabbing then I applied sudocrem result a fully healed hob and the fur did grow back only a slight scar in the centre of his back the use of sudocreme on him did not do any harm long term he lived to double digits ! I suppose its up to each person what they feel comfortable with sudocreme has my vote take care bye for now Bev

In that case I'll consider the threat of the sudocrem to be less than the threat of allowing a wound to get infected, and keep it on hand for emergencies as planned.
