03 Course of Treatment

Treatment date: 2024.9.25-2024.10.5

Treatment course: Twice a day, a total of three days treatment

(1 day of treatment, 1 day of rest, then 1 day of treatment)

Treatment plan: laser physiotherapy twice a day

Manipulation of the affected area: Large non-contact treatment head swept back and forth to irradiate the left forelimb

Short-term Recovery: After a dog was diagnosed with a canine radial ulna fracture, it underwent a 10-day hospitalization and rehabilitation with the VETMEDIX brand of small animal high-energy laser. By reducing inflammation levels, accelerating wound healing and inhibiting the overgrowth of scar tissue, this treatment option can significantly shorten the recovery process and provide faster and more effective treatment results than traditional trauma treatments.

Soon after the initial high-energy laser treatment, the dog showed signs of pain relief. The positive effects of the laser therapy were clearly demonstrated by the gradual increase in mobility with each session. During the treatment period, several follow-up examinations were performed to ensure that the wound was healing as planned and that there were no signs of infection. After 3 days of professional treatment, the dog had its stitches removed, its wound was healing well, and there was no significant scarring, and it returned home to continue its care.

Long-term Follow-up: After three days of careful care, the pet underwent a comprehensive reexamination and evaluation. The results showed that the fracture site had completely healed, and the pet was able to run freely and no longer limped. According to the owner, the pet has now returned to its pre-injury state and is full of vitality.

Conclusion: This treatment has successfully demonstrated the effectiveness and safety of Vetmedix high-energy laser rehabilitation in the treatment of canine radial-ulnar fractures.

For a Shiba Inu with a fracture of the radial ulna, Vetmedix small animal high-energy laser rehabilitation not only significantly reduced pain and inflammation, but also accelerated the natural healing process of the wound by strengthening the blood circulation mechanism. Vetmedix uses high-energy laser photobiomodulation (PBM) technology to provide a non-invasive treatment for small animals, which contributes significantly to post-operative healing. This innovative approach not only significantly accelerates the healing process, but also shortens the recovery cycle of the animals, allowing them to regain their vigor and health faster.
