Profile red blood cell of local cat during auto skin graft healing which are given platelet rich plasma (PRP) and treated with tilapia fish bio dressing

Abstract

Abstract The use of auto skin grafts is a solution to rehabilitate the anatomy and function of the wound area. This study aims to observe differences in the red blood profile of local cats using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Tilapia Mozambique skin bio-dressing during ASG healing. The study used 6 male domestic cats aged 1-2 years with a body weight of 2-4 kg which were divided into 2 treatment groups. The first surgical procedure, a 2x2 cm wound was created period of 4 days. The second surgical operation involved doing an ASG using a donor from the thoracic region to the area where the wound developed. In the first group (T-I) used bio-dressing, while treatment in the second group (T-II) used bio-dressing added PRP. Blood collection was carried out through the Cephalica antebrachii vein on days 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 after surgery. The red blood profile including erythrocytes, hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular volume (MCV) fluctuated not significantly (P>0.05) while mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and platelets fluctuated significantly. significantly different (P<0.05) between the treatment groups and the time of observation. As an alternate dressing and treatment that can aid in the healing of ASG, PRP and bio dressing can be applied.
