Apart from the obvious advantages of controlling the dog and cat population, studies have shown that sterilisation in female animals, specifically, can not only increase their <strong>life expectancy<\/strong> by spaying, but can also decrease her chance of future diseases, including breast cancer and uterine infections.<\/p>\n<p>While most animals recover from surgery quite quickly and easily, some develop issues with <strong>slow-healing or infected wounds<\/strong> which can impact on the short- and long-term health outcomes for the animal.<\/p>\n<p>Cleaning the wound and ensuring it remains dry is essential in the <strong>post-operative care<\/strong> of your animal. While severe <strong>infections<\/strong> or <strong>swelling<\/strong> of the wound may necessitate a visit to the vet, most wounds can be treated at home using <strong>light therapy<\/strong> as an aid to <strong>wound healing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Red and infrared light therapy<\/strong> is an effective and safe remedy for helping to <strong>reduce the pain<\/strong> and inflammation commonly associated with wounds. It can penetrate deep through the layers of the skin and because it enhances and <strong>improves circulation<\/strong> in the skin and other parts of the body, it can bring oxygen and nutrients to injured tissues, promoting healing. It helps ease pain, relieve inflammation, and <strong>protect against oxidative stress<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the benefits of using <strong>Photizo Vetcare<\/strong> light therapy to treat injuries in wildlife include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>It is safe, natural, non-invasive, and painless.<\/li>\n<li>It <strong>increases microcirculation<\/strong> and <strong>formation of new capillaries<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>The <strong>wound area receives more oxygen and nutrients <\/strong>to help with the natural wound healing process.<\/li>\n<li>Promotes lymph system activity \u2013 this helps with <strong>detoxification of the wound<\/strong> without overtaxing the lymph system and <strong>prevents lymphoedema<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cleans up dead cells<\/strong>: boosted blood circulation helps with cleaning up dead or damaged cells, including dead bacteria.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Promotes collagen<\/strong> <strong>and elastin production in the final wound healing phases<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li>Helps to release ATP (raw cellular energy) which <strong>gives energy to the damaged cells<\/strong> in the wound so they can heal better and faster.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce oedema<\/strong> (<strong>swelling<\/strong>). Oedema has two components, liquid and protein. Researchers have shown that the lymph diameter and the flow of the lymph system can be nearly doubled with the use of light therapy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stimulate the release of endorphins<\/strong> which are the body\u2019s own <strong>pain-fighting<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>VETCARE Treating post-sterilisation wounds in domestic animals using light therapy There are many benefits to sterilising domestic animals.
