Cat here! Green, red or white clay: We always have a glass jar or bowl of pure hand dug clay with water around the house and barn, (I use rain water). If you have a homeopathic of Arnica 30c or higher, take that under the tongue for trauma and shock. dollop the wet clay poultice on the burn and let it dry. The most injured part will stay wet longer. Gently wash the dry clay off with fresh sun warmed (not hot not cold) water making little circles on the area. This sucks out the liquid that forms the blister and removes the burnt dead skin so the live skin beneath, can breath. Repeat the process every two hours depending on comfort and visible healing. As the area heals the clay will dry faster. We use clay in the field on wounds also. Used this on a real bad burn from boiling water 18"X6" long after 24 hours there was fresh skin growing in 5 days skin was frail but nearly healed. 2 weeks a 3"x4" area remained visibly healing. 1 month no scar at all.
