What are some factors that influence healing and long-term recovery?
Wound healing is a complex process, and there are some factors that influence wound healing and long-term recovery for the better, and some that affect it for the worse.
To begin with, an injury or surgical site needs to have a good blood supply. That’s because blood carries all of the healing factors, including oxygen, to the place they are needed. You need clean healthy tissue to allow proper healing. This is why surgical procedures must be sterile. Finally, a healthy functioning immune system is required to keep the healing tissue free from infection and prevent excessive inflammation from delaying healing. ,
Factors that can delay healing and increase the recovery time include underlying health conditions, such as diabetes, kidney or heart disease, or Cushing’s, to name a few. Any of these can interfere with blood flow or the immune system, increasing the time it takes for a dog to knit themselves back together. Another risk factor is being overweight. Not only does excess weight equal excess pressure on joints, fatty tissue can actually increase inflammation, Infection is a major hinderance to tissue healing. You’ll want to keep that surgical site from getting infected by following the vet’s orders of not bathing, not letting your pup lick the incision, and giving any prescribed antibiotics.
