Evaluation of wound healing by secondary tension

This article describes the assessment of wound healing by secondary tension. Studies were conducted on 6 dogs and 4 cats aged 1.5 to 8 years. In the course of research, a study was conducted of the features of wound healing by secondary tension, the rate of wound compression, possible complications after wound healing by secondary tension, and comparison of wound healing by secondary tension in cats and dogs. The animals used in the experiments, with wound surfaces of various sizes in the distal parts of the limbs, resulting from injury. Wounds in these animals were observed at all stages of the wound process. In case of extensive injuries, treatments were carried out with the use of painkillers: Morphine, IPA, Fentanyl. Sinulox was administered systemically antibiotics at a dosage of 12.5-20 mg / kg - 1-2 times a day, from 7 days to 1.5 months. Conducted a clinical examination, laboratory blood tests - a clinical blood test every 5-7 days to control the inflammatory process. And assessing the healing of wound surfaces in cats and dogs: the rate of occurrence of granulation tissue, the rate of wound compression, the effect of the resulting scar tissue on the functionality of the affected area. In the course of the research, the treatment of wound surfaces was carried out daily, and the assessment of wound healing in cats and dogs was carried out. As a result, we found out the following: 1) wound healing by secondary tension in cats and dogs was carried out from 20 days to 2 months with the formation of scar tissue, which in three animals led to contractures of the joints of the distal limb areas; 2) wound compression occurred at a rate of 0.6-0.8 mm per day, and started from 59 days from the periphery of the wound to the center; 3) in cats, granulation tissue was formed later than in dogs. The rate of wound closure, epithelialization and general healing were reduced in cats compared with dogs.
