Overview
Is your pet suffering from a wound that just won't heal? Chronic non-healing wounds can be worrisome and uncomfortable. Let's break down what these persistent wounds are and how we can help your pet heal and feel better.
What Are Chronic Non-Healing Wounds?
Chronic non-healing wounds are injuries that fail to progress through the normal stages of healing within an expected timeframe. In pets, these wounds can result from various factors like infections, poor circulation, or underlying health conditions that hinder the natural healing process.
Common Causes of Non-Healing Wounds
Infections: Bacterial, fungal, or viral infections can prevent proper healing.
Underlying Health Conditions: Diseases like diabetes, kidney issues, or immune system disorders can slow down healing.
Poor Blood Circulation: Reduced blood flow to the wound area impedes nutrient and oxygen delivery essential for healing.
Foreign Objects: Splinters, thorns, or other debris embedded in the wound.
Repeated Trauma: Constant licking, scratching, or biting can reopen wounds.
Which Cats Are More Prone to Non-Healing Wounds?
Older Cats: Ageing can slow the healing process.
Outdoor Pets: Higher risk of injuries and infections from the environment.
Pets with Chronic Diseases: Conditions like diabetes or kidney disease affect healing.
Immunocompromised Pets: A weakened immune system can't fight infections effectively.
Symptoms
Signs to Look Out For at Home
Wound persists without healing for an extended period
Redness, swelling, or warmth around the wound

Excessive licking or scratching of the area

Changes in skin colour or texture around the wound
How is it diagnosed?
Physical Examination: The vet assesses the wound's appearance and checks for signs of infection or underlying issues.
Laboratory Tests:
Blood Tests: To detect underlying conditions affecting healing.
Wound Culture: Identifies bacteria or fungi causing infection.
