Item Eficacia y rapidez en la cicatrización de heridas con miel de abejas en caninos y felinos. Revisión sistemática(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2024) Monroy Morales, Karen Andrea; Restrepo Santamaría, Nicolle; Guarín Patarroyo, Camilo Ernesto (Director)The use of honey in veterinary medicine has been experiencing a boom in recent years. However, research on the benefits of this substance is recent and scarce in relation to others. The present review aimed to compile and analyze the most recent articles available, in order to verify the efficacy of honey in the treatment and recovery of wounds in dogs and cats. To select the articles, parameters of language, year of publication and concordance with the main objective were established. Keywords such as honey, wound, dogs, cats and healing were used. The search was performed in four databases. The selected publications were systematized in a matrix, which allowed for a rigorous analysis of the data, as well as a The selected publications were systematized in a matrix, which allowed a rigorous analysis of the data, as well as contrasting and classifying the information. The results indicate that honey possesses physicochemical properties with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and regenerative potential, which makes it a therapeutic option for the treatment of wounds. Although some commercial pharmaceuticals may show greater efficacy in certain aspects, honey stands out as an economical and effective alternative. Moreover, when combined with other substances, its therapeutic effect is enhanced, improving results compared to its isolated use. In addition, when combined with other substances, its therapeutic effect is enhanced, improving the results compared to its isolated use. Even so, honey alone has been shown to be effective in the healing and scarring of lesions, providing positive results in different veterinary contexts. This work suggests that future research is needed to validate with greater scientific rigor its use and explore its potential in the development of innovative treatments in veterinary medicine.
