Use of HEALx Soother Plus in a Domestic Cat with Severe Burns*
An 8.8-lb domestic short-haired cat, approximately 1-2 years old, presented with severe burns from a radiator. The burned areas were debriding.
The cat was initially treated with clavamox, silver sulfadiazine cream (twice a day) and meloxicam.
After almost 1 month without any resolution and very limited granulation, all treatment was discontinued.
HEALx Soother Plus (applied topically q12h) was used as the only treatment modality until healing (started at Day 0).
Amitriptyline HCI was added in the last week of treatment. The wound showed rapid contracture with addition of the Soother Plus as it healed.
