Oh NOOOOOO Spud - loads and LOADS of cold water and maybe a trip to A&E. XXNothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0

how big is the blister? just looked on nhs site and it said babies or children with burn should always go to hospital - http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/firstaid/Pages/Burnsbitesstings.aspx
but as BB suggested, call NHS direct.Cats don't have owners - they have staff!!

I would either ring NHS Direct on 0845 4647
but probably A&E to be on the safe side. They will have something better than cold water (like burnaid or cooljel which we have at work) to put on it. If its blistered it sounds like it needs looking at and probably some sort of treatment.Became Mrs Scotland 16.01.16

ouch!It's my 12 year old son, blistered at the top of his thigh. Poured a jug of boiling water over himself.
how did he manage that?
get him in a cold bath, or at least cover it with a cold something to stop the burning, and do phone NHS direct:cool::heartpulsOnce a Flylady, always a Flylady:heartpuls0 -
From NHS clinical safe practice website
Within 20 minutes of the injury, irrigate the burn with cool or tepid water for between 10 and 30 minutes. Do not use iced water. Ensure the person is kept warm to avoid hypothermia.
Cover the burn using cling film, layered on to the burn rather than wrapped around a limb. Consider using a clean, clear plastic bag for burns to the hand. Avoid wet dressings and topical creams."Stay Wonky":D

Spud.....cold water is a must. It stops the burn going any deeper into the skin. And yes, A&E to be on the safe side.
Hope he's ok....xYOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)
really....it's not hard to understand :T0 -

He was making some cheese sauce, knocked the jug with the kettle. I took him upstairs and showered cold water on it for ages, it's now blistered and an area about the size of my palm is raised
