Abstract
Dogs and cats suffer accidental wounds and surgical incisions in much the same manner as do humans. Ideally, the surgical incision and most accidental wounds are closed by sutures so that primary healing results. There are probably few differences in the healing processes in these sutured wounds in dogs and cats as compared with similar wounds in experimental animals such as rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs or in humans. Some surgical incisions and many accidental wounds must be left open, for various reasons, to heal as open wounds by contraction and epithelialization. It is in this mode of wound healing that similarities are seen between dogs and cats and the experimental animals such as rats, rabbits, and guinea pigs; however, major differences are seen between dogs and cats and humans.
