Abstract

|
|
An 8-month-old, intact male Collie and a 4-year-old, intact male Siberian husky presented with severewounds on the limbs. Although the wounds were not managed adequately before presentation, there were no remarkablefindings except for secondary infections. The lesions were cleaned with a disinfectant and then treated with systemicantibiotics. Additionally, a hydrophilic moisture-absorbing polyurethane dressing was applied to the limbs because aconventional bandage with silver sulfadiazine ointment was not effective. Both cases showed significant improvementin the lesions over a short period of time. These cases show that a bioactive dressing works efficiently to heal refractorywounds in dogs.
