ABSTRACT

Six dogs and six small ruminants presented with dog bitten wounds at different regions of the body were treated with Herbal Chitosan Spray. The clinical studies revealed the Herbal Chitosan spray was found to be superior in promoting healing process which may be recommended for management of dog bitten wounds.
