Wound Case #3 - Ida

Ida, a 15 year old Jack Russell, was attacked by a 60 kg Boerboel. The wound was closed with a drain placement, but we were concerned that park of the skin would become necrotic. The next morning the wound was swollen and red. I decided to use doctorVet to improve healing with protocols for deep infection, general pain and inflammation.

info

Day 3 drain removed and 3rd doctorVet Treatment. Patient discharged with antibiotics and anti inflammatory medication.

Day 7 necrotic tissue removed and 4th doctorVet treatment.

Owners are very happy. They wanted to euthanize IDa because she was in so much pain.
