Використання гумату натрію як біостимулятора загоєння кастраційних ран у кобелів (Клінічний випадок)

Abstract

Dogs play a significant role in human life. It is difficult to list all the various aspects of their application. But along with the positive qualities of using dogs is the problem of regulating the numbers of stray animals. Among the agents that stimulate the processes of repair and regeneration, increase the basic physiological mechanisms of protection of the body are humic preparations such as sodium humate. Taking into account that preparations of natural origin have a special influence on the inflammatory process, it is necessary to find and study the possibilities of using biological preparations of humic acids. Six animals were selected for the detection of the effect of sodium humate on dogs by analogues. Castration was carried out in an open manner according to conventional methods After surgery, the animals were subcutaneously injected with a 0.1% solution of sodium humate at a dose of 0.1 ml per 1 kg of body weight, and the control saline solution once a day for 14 days. Examination of wounds and thermometry was performed twice daily for 16 days. Castration wounds were treated with antibacterial aerosol once daily. No additional medication was used. In the post-castration period, all operated dogs did not observe any bleeding, loss of the common vaginal sheath, intestine, cult of the seminal cord, or other complications. Since the third day in the general condition of the animals of the experimental group significant changes were observed, which were expressed in the attenuation of the signs of inflammation, which was manifested in the reduction of hyperemia of the wound edges and their edema. The tenderness of the scrotal tissue was noted, and the scrotal skin became folded. In control animals the development of the inflammatory process was more pronounced and occurred 2 to 3 days later than in the experimental animals. On the third day after surgery, the control animals showed clinical signs characteristic of acute inflammation: hyperemia, sharp pain and swelling of the scrotal tissues, elevated local temperature. In two animals of the control group swelling was spread beyond the scrotum - a slight swelling of the prepuce was noted. These signs were manifested against the background of general depression and decreased appetite. Recovery occurred on day 12 in the experimental group and on day 16 in the control one.
