Excerpt from Wound Treatment
The treatment of wounds in the bauds of the average veterinarian has not improved as much in the last decade as have other branches of purely operative surgery. A score of years ago, few veterinarians expected that wounds made in the course of their operations could be healed without infection. Now, the more successful practitioners reproach themselves if a wound of their own making develops sepsis. The treatment of accidental wounds, on the other hand, is much the same now in the practice of most veterinarians as it was a double decade ago - that is, they are treated by washes, ointments, or dusting powders, as the inclination of the practitioner may direct, and seldom is a real conscious effort made to render them germ-free, suture them up, and procure healing by first intention without the development of sepsis.
This average of conditions is not true of the work of all, and it is for the purpose of placing the methods used by a number of the most successful practitioners in the hands of the whole profession that this little volume has been issued. It comprises the better articles on the use of antiseptics, suturing and treatment of wounds in general, that have appeared in the American Journal of Veterinary Medicine during the past four or five years. The editor is convinced that the treatments herein given are practical for the average practitioner, and their careful study will prove of much value to him.
