This study evaluated the effectiveness of a 10% ointment containing Artemisia lerchiana essential oil in promoting the healing of aseptic postoperative wounds in domestic cats. Two groups of ten cats each underwent ovariohysterectomy and received different postoperative treatments: the experimental group was treated with the Artemisia lerchiana ointment, while the control group received the classical wound treatment using Vishnevsky liniment.
Over a 10-day observation period, wound healing progress, physiological indicators (body temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate), and hematological parameters were assessed. The experimental group demonstrated faster wound epithelialization, reduced inflammation, minimal swelling, and better overall physiological stability compared to the control group. Hematological analysis revealed more balanced recovery parameters, with lower leukocyte and platelet counts, indicating decreased inflammatory and coagulation activity. The control group showed slower healing, increased inflammatory response, and more pronounced signs of discomfort.
The results indicate that the 10% Artemisia lerchiana ointment effectively promotes tissue regeneration and modulates the inflammatory process. Therefore, this phytotherapeutic agent is recommended as a safe and effective treatment for aseptic postoperative wounds in cats, with potential for broader veterinary applications.
