Abstract
A triple antibiotic ointment and an Aloe vera extract gel were evaluated as to their effects on open wound healing
of pad wounds in dogs. The primary difference between the two medications was noticed at seven days when the
Aloe vera extract gel-treated wounds had a smaller unhealed wound area than did control wounds and wounds treated
with triple antibiotic ointment.
