1. Patient Background

Species: Canine Sex: Female Age: 3Years 5Months Case: Large wound

Mixiu was accidentally injured while playing outdoors. The wound was large and there was a risk of suppuration. The veterinarian performed debridement and suture, combined with medication and Max laser therapy. After the treatment, the dog is in good condition, has a good appetite, and is full of energy.

2. Chief Complaint

In outdoor environments, large dogs are typically active and curious about new surroundings, often running around. Owners should always keep their dogs on a leash and by their side to ensure safety. The outdoor environment is complex and contains many potential dangers, such as sharp objects (broken glass, thorny plants, and rusty metal), which can easily scratch a dog's skin and cause large wounds. Once injured, bacteria may quickly invade the wound, causing suppuration or even infection, which seriously threatens the dog's health.

3. Treatment Plan

The treatment process includes debridement and suturing, laser therapy, and drug treament. For surface wounds, a course of laser treatment is required, a total of 6 times, once a day, 6 times of laser treatment. Laser irradiation needs to cover an area of 2-5cm around the wound, with a small amount of laser irradiation in the middle and a large amount of laser irradiation around the wound.

4. Conclusion

Class 4 laser therapy played a key role in treating Mixiu's large wounds. It significantly accelerated the wound healing process by increasing the number of intact mast cells in the tissue, while reducing the risk of inflammation and infection. This therapy not only promoted tissue regeneration but also improved local microcirculation, providing strong support for the rapid recovery of the wound.
