| dc.description.abstract | The present study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of laser therapy with conventional therapy for the treatment of acral lick dermatitis and interdigital pyoderma in dogs and also to study the effect of laser therapy on haematological and biochemical parameters in acral lick dermatitis and interdigital pyoderma. The study revealed that the combination of laser and conventional therapy is more effective in treating acral lick dermatitis while laser therapy alone proved to be slightly less efficacious in treating acral lick dermatitis when compared to conventional therapy. Noticeable hair regrowth and reduction in the surface area was observed in all the groups. No local or systemic side effects were seen during or after LLLT. There was a significant difference in TLC, neutrophil counts, Total protein and cortisol in acral lick dermatitis post laser therapy by day 15. Cytological examination of all the groups in acral lick dermatitis revealed that the number of neutrophils and bacteria were greatly reduced in combination group when compared to group treated with conventional therapy and group treated with laser therapy alone. Present study revealed that conventional therapy has a moderate effect in the treatment of pododermatitis by day 15 while laser therapy has no beneficial effect in treating pododermatitis by day 15. With the results of the present study regarding pododermatitis, it is not possible to recommend laser therapy for interdigital pyoderma/pododermatitis with the dosage used in the study. There was no significant differences with respect to haematological and biochemical parameters in all the groups by day 15 in pododermatitis. No adverse effects or local or systemic side effects were seen during or after LLLT in pododermatitis. | |
