Wound Repair

In veterinary medicine, wounds are pretty common. Our goal is to minimize pain while helping the body’s process of healing so the tissue can return to normal function as quickly as possible. Because not every wound is the same, treatment pathways and the products used will vary. 

Will my pet need medication? 

When your pet is discharged from the hospital, you will receive specific instructions regarding your pet's home care. Typically patients are sent home with medication for pain management, swelling, and antibiotics to combat infection. It will be important for owners to follow all instructions regarding medication 

Does my pet have to wear a cone?

One of the most important goals is to prevent an infection from occurring within the wound. Often times when a pet has wound they instinctively want to lick it, but that can actually hurt them more than help them.
