Background
A 3-year-old Belgian shepherd named Pauli sustained a serious left ear laceration following an altercation with another dog.

Management of the wound
The wound was deemed a difficult surgical repair given the nature and location. A large amount of liquid cleansing was required, accompanied by mechanical debridement.

Conclusion
This individual case study has demonstrated how a dressing that binds bacteria and fungi can help prevent wound infection and facilitate normal wound healing.
