Ovariohysterectomy is a surgical procedure performed on domestic animals, where both ovaries and the uterus are removed from females. For this reason, the application of natural local healing agents is needed to contribute to the reduction of the wound caused by the surgery. The objective of this research is to determine the healing effect of dragon's blood on the healing process in Ovariohysterectomy wounds in canines. 9 designated canines were used in two treatments, with a total of 18 canines older than 5 months of age. An incision was made in the midline of the abdomen for each animal to carry out the surgery, the treatments corresponding to each group were applied, T1 based on dragon's blood and T2 (control treatment) based on chlorhexidine, both each. 24 hours for 14 days, the wound was evaluated using a Vancouver scale and histopathological tests, samples were taken on the 3rd day, 8th day and 14th day after applying the treatments. The results obtained through the evaluation of the Vancouver scale showed significant differences on the eighth day, the histopathology tests in the same way through a statistical analysis presented highly significant differences (p<0.05) between treatments, just as through the observation of the plaques there was a high presence of collagen on the eighth day in T1. According to the results obtained, dragon's blood has a greater healing effect than the control treatment in relation to time.
