Carbon Dioxide Laser in Veterinary Medicine

Abstract

In recent years, due to advances in technology, laser apparatuses which are small and excellent in operability have been developed, and it became popular also in general animal hospitals. In addition, importance was attached to the idea of quality of life and minimally invasive treatment. Therefore, carbon dioxide laser surgery with less excessive bleeding and less thermal response has become mainstream. In this article, I explain carbon dioxide laser in the veterinary field with a case of onychectomy.
