Journal Title: International Journal of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
In the present study the comparative efficacy of conventional suturing technique, Skin Staples and Surgical Glue for treatment of auricular haematoma were evaluated in fifteen adult dogs. These dogs were divided into 3 groups (A, B and C) each consist of five dogs. All the dogs in each group were sedated by using Xylazine HCL (Xylaz, Farvet) at 0.1-0.5 mg/kg I/M and Ketamine HCL (Ketarole) at 4.4 mg/kg I/M for maintaining anesthesia was used. In group A, Auricular haematoma was treated with conventional suturing technique. In group B, Skin staples were applied for treatment. While Dogs of group C, were treated with Surgical Glue. Closure Time, Cosmetic appearance and Healing Time were evaluated. Time for closure of skin incision was significantly less in animals who had treated with surgical glue as compared to conventional suturing technique and Skin staples. Cosmetic appearance grading were significantly different among all three groups. There were also significant differences in healing time among all groups. Surgical Glue is the most favourable and effective technique for the closure of skin incision for repairing of skin of pinna of ear as compared to skin staples and Silk suture.
