SPECIES: Dog
BREED: German Shepherd
GENDER: Female
AGE: 9 YO
NAME: Niki
Clinical case: Niki was brought to the clinic with an injury obtained during a walk. While she was running, she hit her right side against a protruding piece of iron, causing a lacerated and contused wound.
The wound was sutured, but her clinical picture was not good: the piece of skin showed necrotic tissue and some stiches began to come undone in some points. A surgical curettage of the wound was carried out, with removal of the necrotic skin flap and a second stitch up.
Therapy: It was decided to submit Niki to MLS® Laser Therapy sessions. The "Wound (infected)" program was applied the first two times, to then switch to the "Wound" program.
Between each MLS® Laser Therapy session, the wound was also medicated with Hypermix.
