An Eight-month-old intact Male Harlequin Great Dane Dog was presented to Small Animal Surgery Outpatient Unit of Madras Veterinary College with a history of a chronic non-healing wound on the lateral aspect of the distal hock region. Subjective analysis of the wound on the day of presentation revealed pink colour with purulent exudate and offensive odour. A wound planimetry was performed and the wound was dimensionally measured (10cm x12 cm).The wound was highly exudative and was in the inflammatory phase, a wet to dry bandaging was performed on alternate days until the exudates reduced. Surgical debridement and suturing of the sulcus persistent was done in addition and placement of a drain was performed under general anaesthesia to hasten wound healing and to progress to proliferative phase. After the cessation of the inflammatory phase which was ascertained with subjective analysis the wound was treated with Hydroheal (Amorphous hydrogel with colloidal silver) on alternate days. Following good granulation, surgical intervention was planned. Since the wound contraction ceased and the presence of the wound on tension lines prevented the opposing of the recipient wound bed with standard suturing technique, an 90 degrees transposition skin flap was performed. The outcome of the surgery and uneventful recovery of the pet will be discussed further.
