Valjakkourheilua: Haavanhoito

I have a short presentation how pine resin works in wound care.
If you have a dog, sometimes shit happens...

Our 9 months old riesenschnauzer puppy had been bited bited and did have  such a deep and dirty wound.


My wife is a veterinarian. She suspect that the wound is many hours old, maybe over 12 hours and there is a big risk to get infected if she would suture it. So she told me to do so called open care and use pine resin.
- We washed the wound carefully with water and iodine.
- We put some drops pine resin to the washed wound twice per day

Six days later the wound was already smaller. We had washed it twice per day. The dog had been playing at house and also outside. She had also been out in the kennel.
The wound was not infected att all. Even it was open. It did not look infected. It was not painful. We could wash it easily.


It is very important to wash out all dirty and dead tissue from the wound. It is easy to scratch it slightly by finger.

Betadine contains iodine. It´s sold in pharmacies. It is very effective against bacterier. In hospitals iodine is widely used for cleaning the skin before surgery.


 We washed  Betadine away and then we put Relaxant Animal pine resin to the wound.

Seven days after that (picture over) and 13 days from the beginning the wound was almost healed. We had washed it eight days. There had not been any sign of infection.



Pine resin works well even in deep wounds. It is very effiective against infections. If the wound had been sutured, there would have been much bigger risk for infection. Now the wound was healed very quick. And I will show you later how it looks three weeks from the beginning!
