Avaliação do efeito cicatrizante e analgésico da pomada fitoterápica de falso-boldo (Plectranthus neochilus) e favela (Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus) em gatas (Felis silvestris catus) submetidas à ovariossalpingohisterectomia.

Abstract

To evaluate the analgesic and healing effect of herbal ointment boldo-de-jardim (Plectranthus neochilus) and favela (Cnidoscolus phyllacanthus), we used 10 female cats, healthy, obtained from the owners of the city of Patos, Paraíba. The animals underwent an adaptation period of 15 days prior to trial, in catteries individual on the premises of the Hospital Veterinário of Universidade Federal de Campina Grande, Campus de Patos, where the experiment was done. After the adjustment period the animals were subjected to ovariossapingohisterectomia, this procedure performed by the same surgeon. In Group 1, the wounds were treated every 12 hours with the herbal ointment pains and seven-slum. In Group 2 was administered flunixin meglumine in the first three postoperative days and cleaning the wound was done every 12 hours with NaCl 0.9%. The wounds were treated and evaluated daily until complete healing, observing the wound and the area circumscribed the following parameters: redness, hematomy, discharge, dermatological reaction and degree of edema. The assessment of analgesia was performed through the measurement of objective and subjective variables. The results showed that the group treated with the herbal ointment (Group 1) presented data similar to the control group (Group 2) thus exposing the same efficacy in controlling postoperative pain in cats submitted to ovariosalpingohisterectomy and noting its effect analgesic in vivo in topical use. Moreover, a slight effect was observed antiiflammatory. In assessing the wound healing effect was observed in the favela, which justifies its popular use.
