Preoperative and Postoperative Ozone Therapy in Cats Presenting Extensive Wounds Treated by Reconstructive Surgery Methods-A Short Case Series.

The therapeutic management of extensive skin wounds in cats can be time-consuming and require multiple therapeutic interventions, which can have significant financial implications for pet owners. Reconstructive surgery is often necessary to close skin defects with tissue loss to provide a quicker patient recovery. Conventional therapies like systemic antibiotics, anti-inflammatories, and local dressings are not always successful due to antibiotic resistance or a poor response, such as no or delayed healing.

Physico-Chemical and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Ozonated Olive Oil Produced with a Medical-Grade Generator for Veterinary Purposes.

The search for broad-spectrum antimicrobial products that do not generate resistance upon multiple applications has led to increased scientific and clinical interest in ozonated oils. The aim of this preliminary study was to evaluate the physico-chemical structure and antimicrobial properties of 1-12 h ozonated extra virgin olive oil produced in a veterinary clinic with a medical-grade generator. Prolonging the ozonation time causes a decrease in the iodine index, followed by significant increases in viscosity, acidity index, and peroxide values ( < 0.

Development of a Novel Approach for Detection of Equine Lameness Based on Inertial Sensors: A Preliminary Study.

Both as an aid for less experienced clinicians and to enhance objectivity and sharp clinical skills in professionals, quantitative technologies currently bring the equine lameness diagnostic closer to evidence-based veterinary medicine. The present paper describes an original, inertial sensor-based wireless device system, the Lameness Detector 0.1, used in ten horses with different lameness degrees in one fore- or hind-leg.
