Chronic wounds and ulcers in cats – effective biological treatment
Introduction
Chronic wounds and ulcers in cats can be the result of injuries, chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes), blood circulation disorders or secondary infections. Cats, due to their tendency to lick their wounds, are particularly prone to worsening them. Untreated skin lesions lead to severe pain, decreased immunity and the risk of generalised infection.
Symptoms of chronic wounds and ulcers:
- wounds that do not heal despite treatment for more than 3–4 weeks,
- recurrent skin infections,
- oozing ulcers with pus,
- redness, swelling and tenderness around the wound,
- apathy and deterioration in the cat's condition.
Standard treatment methods
Traditional treatment includes wound cleansing, antibiotic therapy, specialised dressings and control of comorbidities (e.g. diabetes). Unfortunately, in some patients, healing is delayed or ineffective.
Modern biological therapies
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
MSCs have strong trophic and immunomodulatory effects. They support tissue regeneration, reduce chronic inflammation and promote the formation of healthy tissue instead of scar tissue. This is an effective method for treating hard-to-heal ulcers.

PRP – platelet-rich plasma
PRP contains growth factors that support angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation and skin regeneration. The application of PRP to the wound accelerates healing, reduces inflammation and reduces the risk of secondary infections.
Therapy IL-1
In chronic wounds with a strong inflammatory basis, blocking the IL-1 pathway helps to reduce inflammation, relieve pain and improve the regeneration process.

Step-by-step approach
Stage 1 – fresh wounds with delayed healing: PRP as the first-line treatment.
Stage 2 – chronic ulcers: MSCs to support tissue regeneration and reduce inflammation.
Stage 3 – wounds with severe inflammation: IL-1 in combination with supportive treatment.
Summary
Chronic wounds and ulcers in cats pose a difficult therapeutic challenge. Standard treatment is not always sufficient, which is why biological therapies – PRP, MSC and IL-1 – are increasingly being used to support healing, reduce inflammation and improve patients' quality of life.
FAQ
If it does not heal within 3–4 weeks despite standard treatment.
Yes – PRP is completely safe because it comes from the patient's own blood.
Yes – MSCs can accelerate healing and reduce the risk of complications.
Yes – autologous material is used, which minimises the risk of adverse reactions.
