K-Laser Success Story #27

This dog presented to us after being found with its chain lead wrapped around its leg when it chased after a squirrel. The chain had severely lacerated the lower leg and caused ligament damage. The foot was severely swollen and edematous. We cleaned it and wrapped it after starting laser light therapy. The owner did a great job of doing hydrotherapy and bandage changes at home keeping it clean. There were times at the beginning there were fears of a need for amputation due to disrupted lymphatic drainage, but the effects of the laser to reduce edema and promote healing helped us avoid that! He is doing great and walking on it very well.

We first saw the dog July 20th and did 10 laser therapy treatments over 3 weeks!! The first picture was July 20th and last picture was August 12th.
