Vetmedix Case Sharing丨High Power Laser Heals Post-urethrostomy Wounds

Introduction

Anuria, the absence of urination, is defined as complete inhibition of urine excretion by the kidneys. In healthy pets (cats for example), urine production is usually 1~2mg/kg/hr. If the urine is less than 1mg/kg/hr, it is medically defined as oliguria; if there is no urination at all, it is diagnosed as anuria. Unfortunately, Meow Meow suffered from anuria and underwent urethrostomy surgery. After surgery, he suffered from pain. At this time, laser therapy appeared. This therapy can not only significantly relieve the pain and inflammation of cats, but also promote drug absorption and optimize blood circulation. It is innovative and non-invasive. This case records the use of Vetmedix veterinary laser equipment for physical therapy of wounds after urethrostomy in cats.
