Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Canine Alopecia

The study evaluated the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy as an adjunct to conventional treatment in 20 dogs with alopecia, divided into two groups, with 10 healthy controls. Group I received conventional therapy, while Group II received additional PRP therapy. Results showed significant improvement in the PRP-treated group, with earlier hair regrowth, improved coat quality, increased hair density, and a higher proportion of anagen hairs. The average recovery time was 9 days with 97% recovery in the PRP group, compared to 17 days and 74% recovery in the conventional therapy group. The study suggests PRP enhances hair regrowth and follicular activity in canine alopecia.
