Abstract

The present study was conducted on 27 numbers of dogs having septic and contaminated wounds presented during a period of 8 months. The wounds were cleaned and prepared for application of nano-based healing agent as per standard operating procedure (SOP) along with administration of parenteral antibiotics and anti-inflammatory agents in 17 numbers of dogs (Test group) and 10 numbers of cases were treated with mupirocin ointment application (control group). The physical parameters of wound healing like photograph of the wounds along with measurement, extent of wound, tissue involved, exudates and peripheral swellings were recorded and haemato-biochemical tests like Haemoglobin, TEC, TLC, DC, PCV, blood glucose, serum total protein, serum albumin, globulin, ALT, AST, Serum Phosphorus, serum calcium were evaluated. The duration of wound healing were 11.62±0.70 days and 16.77±1.90 days for test and control group, respectively.
