Condition Presented:<\/h3>\n

The patient was presented with severe tissue necrosis, infection and loss of the left hind paw after being caught in a snare. The patient on presentation had undergone numerous unsuccessful corrective surgeries and each time left the patient with even more necrotic tissue and skin.<\/p>\n

Duration Of Photizo Treatment:<\/h3>\n

Phototherapy was done for 8 minutes, once a day for a week and thereafter once every second day. The aim was to prevent infection and further tissue necrosis and produce a good granulation tissue bed for skin transplantations.<\/p>\n

Treatment Performed:<\/h3>\n

Treatment and case study was done by Vetlight in Pretoria.<\/p>\n

Condition After Photizo:<\/h3>\n

With the aid of phototherapy, no more necrosis took place and a good granulation tissue bed was present sooner than expected. The phototherapy proved to have a calming and pain relieving effect (serotonin effect); causing this wild cat to fall asleep during each of his phototherapy sessions.<\/p>\n
