Laser Therapy – 11 Year Old Yellow Lab

On June 22, 2011, in Blog, Dogs, Laser Therapy, by Carleton Veterinary

An 11 year old yellow lab was brought to us from the Emergency clinic, from dermatology. The patient had been through a number of therapies including a number of antibiotics. The pet was diagnosed in May 2010 with methicillin resistant Staphylococcus pseudointermedius. Prognosis was poor for this patient. The pet owner came to us because she was fearful that she would lose her dog and that the pet was contagious to the population in general. We gave the dog two weeks of ultraviolet laser twice a week for 10 minutes.

See the healing we achieved within two weeks. The skin was also thickened and has become nearly normal thickness as our treatments continue.

22.06.2010 Beginning of the laser therapy (head), the wound was infected.

10.07.2010 Regenerated skin without infection, fur started to grow again.
