TREATMENT OF SUBCUTANEOUS ABSCESSES WITH METHACRESOLSULPHONIC ACID ASSOCIATED WITH NITROFURAZONE AND THE PARENTERAL APPLICATION OF ENROFLOXACIN
Keywords:
Abscess, methacresolsuphonic acid, nitrofurazoneAbstract
The utilization of methacresolsulphonic acid topically, associated with nitrofurazone, in addition to the parenteral application of enrofloxacin was described in the treatment of subcutaneous abscesses in 36 animals (22 bovines, four caprines, five equines, two swines, one ovine, one mule and one buffalo). Medical treatment was initiated after incision; drainage and lavage of the abscess with an antiseptic solution were made in order to remove any foreign material which might still be in the lesion. Only two animals showed relapses, attributed both to the inadequate utilization of the therapeutic procedures and to the non-observation of post-operatory hygienic measures. The association of these drugs proved to be effective and the drainage should be attempted in the more ventral area of the lesion, and the pathologic process resolution might occur between 10-15 days.
