Use of Phytotherapeutics, Low Power Laser, and Ozone for Biting Wound in Dog

The document reports a case of a 6-year-old mixed-breed female dog with a chronic wound from a dog bite that was successfully treated using a combination of alternative therapies. Initially, the dog presented with symptoms such as apathy, fever, and difficulty walking, and was treated with systemic antibiotics, analgesics, anti-inflammatories, and topical wound cleaning. After seven days, there was significant improvement, and the treatment shifted to local care with a healing gel containing chitosan, aloe vera, marigold, sunflower oil, and barbatimao. After 21 days, smaller lesions had epithelialized, and the dog underwent three sessions of low-level laser and ozone therapy every five days, with a final session 14 days later. This led to the total re-epithelialization of the lesions and hair growth, allowing the dog to be discharged. The case concluded that the combination of topical and systemic ozone therapy, low power laser, and herbal medicine gel is an effective treatment for bite wounds in dogs, promoting rapid healing, decontamination, and tissue repair.
