Abstract: This article presents an overview of modern methods for treating
wounds in animals based on a literature review. It includes information on wound
healing techniques, clinical diagnosis, and the factors contributing to tissue damage.
The study highlights the importance of identifying causes and utilizing contemporary
approaches to shorten healing times and improve treatment efficiency.
Keywords: wound, injury, organ, tissue, trauma, surgery.
Introduction
A wound is defined as mechanical damage to the div tissues, including skin,
mucous membranes, muscles, nerves, major blood vessels, bones, joints, and internal
organs, resulting in a loss of anatomical integrity. The main signs of a wound include
pain, bleeding, and tissue exposure.
Research Objective
The aim of this study is to develop and implement modern wound treatment
methods in animals, with a particular focus on reducing healing time and improving
clinical outcomes using advanced veterinary techniques.
Research Results
Surgical conditions, particularly wounds, are common among animals and
often result in significant economic losses. These losses are associated with prolonged
treatment periods, extensive use of pharmaceuticals, and the temporary or permanent
removal of animals from productive service.
In recent years, various protective substances have been developed to cover
wound surfaces. These products vary in terms of their
physical properties
,
chemical
composition
, and the diversity of active ingredients used [1].

According to K.I. Shakalov (1981), many diseases in dogs arise from damage
to organs and tissues. The severity of tissue damage depends on the intensity and force
of the mechanical impact. The heavier and more rigid the object, the greater the
damage it inflicts on soft and hard tissues [3].
Clinical Signs
N.P. Pirogov classified wound healing into three clinical stages:
1.
Inflammation and swelling
2.
Wound cleansing (1–14 days)
3.
Formation of granulation tissue [5]
Clinically, wounds in animals may present with tissue necrosis, putrefaction,
foul-smelling and cloudy exudate, elevated div temperature, loss of appetite, and
impaired digestion. According to M.V. Plakhotin, the primary clinical signs include
pain, bleeding, wound opening, and loss of function
[4].
Diagnosis
Various diagnostic methods have been developed to assess wound
progression. These include:
Planimetry
– to estimate the rate of wound closure.
Cytological analysis
– to evaluate cellular changes.
Biochemical tests
– to assess inflammatory response.
Electro-thermometry
– to detect localized temperature changes.
Immunological assessments
– to monitor immune response.
The
planimetric method
is used to measure wound healing speed, tissue
granulation, epithelialization, scar formation, and eventual closure.
Based on cytological and pathological changes, N.F. Kamayev divides the
wound healing process into the following stages:
1.
Initial phase (up to 12 hours):
Onset of inflammation
2.
Degenerative-inflammatory phase
3.
Regenerative phase
, consisting of:
o
Necrotic tissue clearance
o
Formation of granulation tissue

o
Healing and epithelial restoration [5]
Treatment
Modern veterinary wound management incorporates advanced techniques. As
understanding of the wound healing process evolves alongside medical and
technological progress, new treatment opportunities continue to emerge.
The surgical approach to fresh wounds was first proposed by
Charukovsky
,
later refined by
Friedrich
. Their theory was based on the observation that within the
first six hours after injury, microorganisms remain localized on the wound surface
and have not yet penetrated the lymphatic system, allowing for safe primary closure.
B.V. Ognev
demonstrated experimentally that microorganisms can be found
in regional lymph nodes just 30 minutes after injury [2].
In 1896,
N. Preobrazhensky
introduced the concept of
physical antiseptics
,
focusing on the
hygroscopic properties
of materials like gauze to absorb pus and
promote wound drainage [2].
According to
M.V. Plakhotin
, two healing phases are observed:
hydration
and
dehydration
. In animals, wound cleansing is often achieved through enzymatic
debridement, where necrotic tissue is broken down and eliminated as a liquid due to
enzyme activity [4].
Conclusion
1.
Early and proper wound treatment significantly shortens healing time
and restores the animal’s functional capacity.
2.
Successful wound management requires understanding the
cause of the
injury
,
initial first aid provided
, and
which organ or tissue
has been affected.
