The aim of this report is to describe the clinical application of MLS Laser Therapy as adjuvant therapeutic technique in combination with topical wound management for treatment of pressure ulcers and open wound in four dogs. The dogs have sustained trauma, were hospitalized in the physical therapy veterinary clinic and had wounds that had to be treated concurrently with neurologic conditions. Pressure ulcers and open wound were managed by topical wound medications and contemporaneously were irradiated twice daily with MLS pulse. The wounds were measured at the beginning of the treatment and at the end of the therapy and showed a reduction in size during the course of treatments. MLS laser therapy may be useful as adjuvant therapeutic tecnique for treatment of decubitus ulcers and open wounds in dogs.
