Class IV laser therapy is an extremely effective treatment for both large and small area skin wounds. Clinicians are also increasingly impressed by how well laser therapy assists burns to heal.
“Ember”, a Jack Russell mix, suffered from severe burns when her home burned down with her still indoors in her crate. Ember’s burns were severe and her prognosis was not good. She was treated with Class IV laser therapy, which accelerated her healing, reduced her need for pain medication, and even helped her to grow her fur back.
Class IV laser therapy reduces pain and inflammation and is a key component in reducing a pet’s pain during the road to recovery for severe burns. Treatment is well-tolerated by the patients, and skin re-growth is greatly accelerated by the addition of laser therapy treatments for of burn victims.
More recently in the news is the tragic story of “Hope”, a mixed-breed dog from Tampa, Florida. Hope was allegedly lit on fire and spent a significant amount of time recovering at BluePearl Veterinary Partners. Laser therapy was added to her treatment protocol and aided in her rehabilitation.
