“…The tracing is then placed onto graph paper and the number of squares counted. The total open wound area at each tracing was subtracted from that of the initial tracing to determine the area of contraction and re-epithelization during the period since wounding (9). The percentage of wound closure was calculated as: (area of original wound-area of actual wound)/area of original wound ×100 (10).…”

“…Healing by second intention may be an option for bite wounds in cats. In this particular case the size and location of the wound that made long-term bandaging and frequent bandage changes problematic, the high cost of the bandaging material, the poor cosmetic appearance of the healed wound and the slower wound healing that is described in cats in contrast to dogs made this option less appealing (Bohling et al, 2004, Bellah, 2006.…”

ABSTRACT.A 2, 5 -year-old DSH female spayed cat was presented with a history of a tail base wound resulted from an abscess inflicted in a cat fight. The wound was managed initially as an open wound for 3 days and was covered with a bilateral rotation flap. One year after surgery the cat was reported to be in good health and the wound healed uneventfully.Keywords: cat, wound, bite injury, rotation flap, tail base ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ. Γάτα ηλικίας 2,5 ετών προσκομίστηκε με ιστορικό τραύματος στη βάση της ουράς ως αποτέλεσμα αποστήματος από διαμάχη με άλλες γάτες. Το τραύμα αντιμετωπίστηκε ως ανοικτό για 3 ημέρες μετά την προσκόμιση και ακολούθως καλύφθηκε με αμφοτερόπλευρο περιστρεφόμενο δερματικό κρημνό. Ένα χρόνο μετά την επέμβαση η γάτα είναι υγιής και το τραύμα έχει επουλωθεί χωρίς επιπλοκές.Λέξεις κλειδιά: γάτα, τραύμα, δήγμα, περιστρεφόμενος κρημνός, βάση ουράς Case Report Κλινικό περιστατικό

“…Biologic and bioactive membranes are indicated for wounds in inflammatory and repair phases as they act on fibroplasia in extracellular matrix formation, in addition to attracting cells for repair and stimulating the differentiation of some cell types (HOSGOOD, 2006;DERNELL, 2006). Furthermore, we believe that the membrane will be useful in shortening the time needed for the formation of granulation tissue in animals that present a delayed healing process, like cats, mainly in the beginning of the repair (BOHLING et al, 2004). Figure 2 shows the decrease in wound size during the time needed for wound repair, in order to analyze the repair by focusing on wound contraction.…”

The study of wound healing and its treatment is extremely important in veterinary medicine due to the high frequency of wounds and the difficulty in treating wounds by second intention. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the use of a nanofiber membrane made of biodegradable polymers as a method of wound treatment in dogs. This study comprised two dogs with bite wounds. Debridement and cleaning was performed followed by the application of the membrane. In one dog, the wound was in the left proximal calcaneal region with clinical signs of infection, necrotic tissue, and muscle and the gastrocnemius tendon were exposed. The wound displayed rapid formation of granulation tissue which became excessive, so it was necessary to debride several times. However, with the suspension of the use of the membrane, formation of this tissue was not observed, and the wound evolved to epithelialization and fast contraction. In the second dog, there was a deep wound on the medial aspect of the proximal right hind limb, with clinical signs of infection, with muscle exposure. Once the membrane was placed, granulation tissue formed, and the membrane was used until the level of this tissue reached the skin. The wound underwent rapid epithelialization and contraction, without developing exuberant granulation tissue. Efficient wound repair was observed and the dogs exhibited greater comfort during application and use of the membrane. More studies should be conducted in dogs focusing on the application of this membrane until the appearance of healthy granulation tissue, as continued use seems to stimulate the formation of exuberant granulation tissue.

ResumoO estudo da reparação e tratamento das feridas cutâneas possui extrema importância em medicina veterinária devido à alta frequência e dificuldade no tratamento por segunda intenção. Este estudo objetivou avaliar o uso da membrana de nanofibras de polímeros biodegradáveis, como alternativa no tratamento de feridas em cães. Foram incluídos no trabalho dois cães com feridas por mordedura. Foi realizado o debridamento e limpeza das feridas e a aplicação da membrana. Em um animal, a ferida em região proximal ao calcâneo esquerdo, apresentava sinais clínicos de infecção, com tecido necrótico, exposição da musculatura e do tendão gastrocnêmio. Foi observada formação rápida de tecido de granulação que se tornou exuberante, sendo necessário debridamento seriado. Porém, com a suspensão do uso da membrana a formação desse tecido não foi mais observada, evoluindo para epitelização e rápida contração. No outro animal, a ferida em face medial proximal do membro pélvico direito, era profunda, com sinais clínicos de infecção e musculatura exposta. A formação de tecido de granulação também apresentou-se rápida, utilizando-se a membrana apenas até que o nível deste tecido se igualasse ao da pele, evoluindo para rápida epitelização e contração sem formação de tecido de granulação exuberante. Foi observada repa...

Cutaneous Wound Healing in the Cat: A Macroscopic Description and Comparison with Cutaneous Wound Healing in the Dog

Abstract: Surgeons should view the cat as a unique species, which presents its own special challenges in wound healing, and should take this into account when planning treatment of feline wounds, either by primary closure, or by second intention healing.
