Pathomorphogenesis of Thermal Injury in Animals

Abstract

In the practice of a veterinarian, it is not often, but you have to deal with various injuries and wounds in animals. Burn wounds heal especially hard in animals. And death often occurs from intoxication or septicaemia Physiological processes in the body of animals take place at a certain body temperature, which is peculiar only to a certain type of animal. Changes in the thermal parameters of the body lead to pathological changes. And a stronger increase or decrease in body temperature parameters can lead to death. Thermal injuries in animals can be caused by the action of open fire, boiling water, chemicals, ionizing radiation, as well as by improper use of electric heaters or insufficiently grounded plates of electric scooters. A thermal wound is a pathological process with a violation of the integrity of the skin, which leads to a decrease in the basic functions of the body, severe injury and death. The degree of tissue damage depends on the type of active damaging factor, its strength and duration of exposure. [5] Local infectious complications are very common in thermal burns. The resulting infection slows down the healing of burn wounds and contributes to the formation of scars [6]. The contamination of wounds with bacteria begins immediately after the burn and consists of conditionally pathogenic bacteria of the environment or the animal’s own biome.
