TREATMENT OF AURAL HEMATOMAS IN DOGS WITH THE MEDICINAL LEECH, HIRUDO MEDICINALIS

Abstract

In this study,  hematomas were induced with trauma to the arteries and veins of the external surface of the ears of five healthy adult dogs. The following day, three medicinal leeches (H. medicinalis) were attached to the area of the hematoma in unanesthetised dogs allowed them stay until they were full and self detached. This treatment was continued daily for three days. In most  cases, the leeches attached to  hematoma quickly and detached themselves when they completed the blood sucking, usually after 10–15 minutes. In all case, aural hematoma of the ear resolved soon after the cessation of the treatment without complications.
