Abstract

The therapeutic use of medicinal plants has traditionally occurred in antiquity. The study of wound healing and the treatment of cutaneous wounds are of great importance in veterinary medicine due to the high frequency of injuries suffered by animals. There are different plant species that have cicatrizing properties, among them the Plantago, whose popular name is Tanchagem, has anti-inflammatory and healing indications. The present study had as objective to evaluate the effect of the ethanol extract of the dry leaves of Plantago tomentosa Lam. in the process of postoperative cicatrization in dogs. Twelve dogs submitted to ovariohysterectomy were randomly divided into two groups of six animals: Control Group (CG) and Group Treatment (GT). The GT showed better effectiveness in relation to the CG during a fourteen-day follow-up.
