Effective treatment of a severe neck wound in a greylag goose (Anser anser) using autologous thrombocyte-rich plasma and xenogeneic fibrin mesh

Abstract

This report details the successful treatment of a severe neck wound in a feral greylag goose (Anser anser) using autologous thrombocyte-rich plasma and xenogeneic fibrin mesh from a domestic dog. The goose´s thrombocyte-rich plasma was obtained after collecting 5 mL of blood, mixing it with an acid-citrate-dextrose solution, and centrifuging at 200 × g for 10 minutes. The lower third of the plasma, along with the buffy coat, was collected. For xenogeneic fibrin mesh, canine blood was centrifugated at 553 × g for 10 minutes, and the clot was extracted and pressed between culture dishes for 10 minutes to create a mesh and harvest serum. After treatment with thrombocyte-rich plasma and the fibrin mesh, there was a notable improvement within 1 week, leading to complete healing after 2 weeks. This outcome exemplifies the promising potential of thrombocyte-rich plasma and xenogeneic fibrin meshes in treating wounds in avian species.
