Abstract
A 7 years old male Spitz dog was reported with the history of knuckling with complete sloughing of the
dorsum of the foot of left hind toe along with hard painful swelling on the thigh following administration of
an injection at the thigh for some other ailment. Clinical and radiographic examination revealed abscession
in the thigh with no bony involvement. The case was diagnosed as sciatic nerve deficit of second degree.
The knuckling was managed by application of ‘Sciatic Toe Bandage’. The wound healing was enhanced by
application of ‘LASER’ therapy along with collagen impregnated gauze over the wound and antibiotic coverage.
The wound healed up by granulation tissue formation and the outcome was excellent. The animal recovered
uneventfully.
