title: Clinical use of tissue adhesives in the closure of udder wounds in lactating ewes and goats.
abstract: Twenty-seven udder wounds in lactating goats and ewes were treated and closed with synthetic tissue adhesive. Twenty-four healed by primary intention (89%), two wounds were partially healed by primary intention and partially by second intention and a wound failed to heal and developed milk fistula. In general, non suture closure of skin wounds using tissue adhesive proved to be satisfactory and highly efficient in small ruminants.
