Species: fancy rat
Gender: Male
Age: 2 YO
Name: Spillo
Case report: A benignant subcutaneous 5-cm-diameter lipoma has been removed from Spillo, but on the 3rd day after surgery he opened the surgical wound with his mouth.
Therapy: Beside post-op pharmacological therapy, MLS® Laser Therapy applications have been performed on the wound twice a day, using the pre-set program “Infected wound”. After 3 days, Spillo could be discharged from vet hospital, and continued MLS® Laser Therapy sessions every other day.
The wound quickly improved and treatments ended 9 days after dehiscence, when the lesion had been completely closed by scar tissue.
