How to Heal a Wound in a Pet in an Emergency [A Professional Degree]

Wounds in dogs and cats require care to avoid contamination, such as debridement of dead tissue, removal of foreign material and contaminants, drainage, the establishment of a workable vascular bed, and proper healing form. With the Professional Master’s Degree Veterinary Emergencies in Small Animal you will be able to handle these situations in the best way possible. You will gain an in-depth understanding of the healing process, which consists of three phases: inflammatory, proliferative and remodelling.

In this way, it is necessary to highlight the diverse types of wounds and how to treat them appropriately:

• Open wounds: These are where the skin is broken and blood gushes out in greater or lesser quantity such as cuts or scratches.
• Closed wounds: These consist when the skin does not break and the blood still is accumulated and can be easily found since the area tends to swell, reddens, and then changes color as the haemorrhage dissolves.
• Stitch wounds: Those wounds that stay after undergoing surgery in which a cut has been made and then sutured to ease healing.
• Fractures: There is a break or crack in a bone, which may or may not be exposed, therefore, these can also be open or closed.
• Burns: Injuries to organic tissues caused by fire, friction, hot soil or substances, or some corrosive chemicals. They can be of varying degrees depending on the layer of skin affected and the cause.

Depending on the severity of the wound it can be treated at home or ask for the help of an expert, normally in either case a very rigorous and clean procedure must be performed to treat it, such as cleaning with saline solution or other aseptic elements, removing foreign elements, disinfecting the area, and using medications to promote healing.

The Professional Master’s Degree Veterinary Emergencies in Small Animal of TECH trains professionals to properly handle the healing and management of wounds in emergencies.
