Chemical burns are prone to developing secondary infections. It's important that a vet actually examine the areas and rule out that an infection is already present. Putting a salve over it can actually make it more likely to develop an infection because the balm can promote the growth of bacteria and fungi. I wouldn't do it unless you got the ok from the vet after he/she has actually seen it.

i got a major chemical burn a few years back with welts as big as a dollar bill & raised 1/2"...the pain was unbearable, i literally could not sleep or do anything. the doc had to prescribe something to calm it down and i had welts for months. please take your baby to the vet & get her an RX, it's got to be horrible walking on those poor paws even if they are wrapped.
i hope she heals quickly.

Agreed. I got a chemical burn at work and it hurt like h-e-c-k!
