Abstract
To compare the healing of purulent wounds with Shilajit dressing vs. Vishnevsky dressing in dogs with purulent wounds of >2 weeks of duration, eight dogs were chosen from same ages in two groups i.e., Shilajit and Vishnevsky dressing group. Dressing was done on every day basis for more than two weeks of follow up period. Main outcome of healing measure was completed at three weeks. Wound healing status was assessed at three days intervals till end of three weeks. Shilajit treated achieved complete decrease in the wound surface area, effect of healing score in Shilajit dressing group in comparison to the Vishnevsky dressing group at p > 0.05 level of significance. Shilajit is highly effective in achieving a characteristic feature of regenerative and granulation healing of purulent wounds as compared to Vishnevsky dressing group in dogs.
Highlights
Wounds often supervised openly in treatment procedure of veterinary medicine [1]
When a wound is treated in second stage from the wound, it is anticipating that the wound should have enough granulation tissue, contraction, and growth of smooth layer of epithelialization to get closed [2] [3]
Data were presented as the mean value ± standard deviation of the mean for wound healing size, hematology and biochemistry
Summary
Wounds often supervised openly in treatment procedure of veterinary medicine [1]. A lot of medical agents are used; generally these agents have a great variation due to wound condition and host factors [4] [5]. Shilajits have many essential anti-inflammatory agents which are used as independently for treatment of open wounds in many centuries [6]. Shilajit is a blackish brown exudation found in the serene surroundings of Himalayas. It is found in most of the sedimentary rocks especially in Afghanistan, Bhutan, China, How to cite this paper: Niazi, A.M., Tawfeeq, M.M., Aziz, A., Zabuli, J., Rahmati, S. and Irshad, A.R.
