Abstract
Local treatment occupies an important place in dermatology, since the applied drugs render the therapeutic effect locally on the lesioned skin. This method is often used as complementation to the systemic treatment, thereby shortening a recovery period and giving a veterinary physician an opportunity to reduce the dose and frequency of the main systemic drug. The article presents the results of efficacy evaluation of the drug «VetLan», which is composed on the basis of colloidal silver, nano zinc oxide and lanthanum oxide and intended for treatment of allergic etiology dermatitis in cats. The proposed drug helps to reduce the time and to increase the efficacy of cats treatment when included into a complex therapy. It was found that «VetLan» is efficient in 77.7 % of cases, namely 7 out of 9 cats were cured after application of the drug, whereas the efficacy after application of the drug «Eplan» was 55.5 %. The duration of treatment was 14.2 ± 1.38 days for flea allergic dermatitis, 9.3 ± 2.05 days for atopic skin syndrome. The respective figures for animals in the control group were 18.2 ± 0.68 and 10.6 ± 1.69 days. Compared to the control group, the regeneration of lesioned epithelium in case of flea allergic dermatitis was 1.4–1.6 times faster, in case of atopic skin syndrome 1.3–1.5 times faster. In the course of this study no side effects as of irritation or allergy were found in cats after using the developed drug.
