Case Overview

Name: Bob 

Species: Canine 

Sex: Female 

Age: 2Years 7Months 

Case: Mastitis wound

Medical History

The dog suffered from postpartum mammary gland obstruction complicated with severe mastitis, which resulted in skin rupture. After milk leakage, a large tissue cavity formed.

Treatment Protocol

The Skin-Wound-Chronic 10×10 laser protocol was applied for irradiation. After 6 days of treatment, the laser power was increased by 25% and the irradiation continued. Meanwhile, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory drugs and metronidazole were administered daily, together with injectable marbofloxacin.

Result

The veterinarian performed debridement, along with medication and laser treatment. After treatment, the dog was in good condition, with a good appetite and plenty of energy. After 22 days treatments, the wound had healed.

Summary

Laser therapy is effective for various types of inflammatory wounds in dogs with mastitis (superficial lesions, deep cavity wounds, and postpartum congestive inflammatory wounds). Its core value lies in non-invasively regulating the local pathological state: working synergistically with medication to achieve anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, optimize the wound microenvironment, activate tissue regeneration, and reduce bodily stress. It effectively shortens the healing cycle of mastitis wounds and reduces sequelae such as chronic wounds, recurrent infections, and mammary tissue necrosis. It is a key adjunctive therapy for standardized rehabilitation of mastitis trauma.
