Right foreleg amputation and laser therapy of the wound in a dog

Abstract

This clinical case study presents an overview of a patient that was involved in a road traffic accident and required right foreleg amputation including scapulectomy. The patient crashed and was recovered using cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Laser therapy was commenced from day 4 post-road traffic incident, and the healing process documented until full recovery was obtained. Since the surgery the patient is doing well and this case outlines some of the benefits of using the laser therapy in clinic as well as in the patient's home post-surgery.
