Chronic wounds and ulcers in dogs
– effective biological treatment
Introduction
Chronic wounds and ulcers in dogs are a serious clinical problem that arises as a result of injuries, chronic diseases (e.g. diabetes), bacterial and fungal infections, or blood supply disorders. If left untreated, they lead to severe pain, reduced quality of life, and the risk of systemic complications.
Symptoms of chronic wounds and ulcers:
- wounds that do not heal despite standard treatment for more than 4 weeks,
- recurrent skin infections,
- purulent or oozing ulcers,
- redness, swelling, pain and unpleasant odour from the wound,
- deterioration of the dog's condition and apathy.
Standard treatment
Traditional methods include wound cleansing, antibiotic therapy, the use of specialised dressings, and control of underlying diseases (e.g. diabetes). Unfortunately, in many cases, healing is slow or ineffective, and the risk of recurrence is high.
Modern biological therapies
PRP – platelet-rich plasma
PRP contains numerous growth factors (PDGF, VEGF, TGF-β) that stimulate angiogenesis, fibroblast proliferation and accelerate healing processes. PRP injections directly into or around the wound can significantly reduce the regeneration time of skin and soft tissues.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)
MSCs support tissue regeneration through trophic and immunomodulatory effects. They reduce inflammation and support the formation of new connective tissue, which allows even difficult-to-heal ulcers to close.

Therapy IL-1
In chronic inflammatory wounds, IL-1 therapy can reduce the local inflammatory response, limit pain and accelerate regeneration.

Approach depending on the stage of the disease
Stage 1 – fresh wounds with delayed healing: PRP as the first line of biological support.
Stage 2 – chronic, recurrent wounds: MSC for tissue regeneration and reconstruction.
Stage 3 – ulcers with severe inflammation: IL-1 as a therapy to support inflammation reduction.
Summary
Chronic wounds and ulcers in dogs are difficult to treat, and conventional methods often fail. Biological therapies – PRP, MSC and IL-1 – offer a real chance for faster healing, reduced inflammation and improved quality of life for the animal.
FAQ
If it does not heal within 4 weeks despite standard treatment.
It may support healing, but requires prior control of the infection.
Shortening healing time, reducing inflammation, tissue regeneration, limiting antibiotics.
Yes – the patient's own tissue is used, which minimises the risk of complications. It is crucial to maintain cleanliness standards during the cell cultivation process.
