One case did not have conclusive follow\u2010up data from the referring veterinarian and was therefore excluded from further analysis. All seven culture\u2010positive ulcers were recorded as healed without complication: six healing after one procedure and one healing after two procedures. Thirty\u2010five ulcers were culture\u2010negative.
