Abstract
The purpose of the research is to evaluate clinical efficacy and safety of electrolyzed water (anolyte and catholyte) in the treatment of parasitic dermatitis in carnivores.
Materials and methods. The study involved 15 dogs and 15 cats diagnosed with parasitic dermatitis of various degrees of severity. After etiotropic antiparasitic therapy, the animals were divided into experimental and control groups. In the experimental group, anolyte (an acid solution with bactericidal properties) and catholyte (an alkaline solution that stimulates regeneration) were used for wound cleaning and applications. The control group used standard antiseptic solutions (chlorhexidine, furacilin, etc.). Healing dynamics were assessed: inflammation severity, presence of exudate, granulation, epithelialization, and complete skin restoration time.
Results and discussion. In the animals from the experimental groups, statistically significant acceleration was observed for wound clearance from fibrinous deposits and necrotic tissue with anolyte. Subsequent use of catholyte induced active granulation and marginal epithelialization. Overall healing times for lesions in experimental groups were reduced by an average of 20–30% versus the control. No signs of irritation, allergic reactions, or toxic effects were detected.
