1. Objective: To report outcomes of dogs with common Calcanean tendon (CCT) ruptures treated with a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) enhanced nonabsorbable loop-suture technique

2. Group A was treated with anchors loaded with Absorbable sutures, and group B was treated with the same type of anchors loaded with nonAbsorbable sutures

3. Close in layers: Close mucosal layer with Absorbable 5-0 suture; Irrigate from outside; Close orbicularis oris muscle with 4-0 or 5-0 Absorbable suture; Close skin with 6-0 nonAbsorbable suture; Vermilion border laceration

4. (A = Absorbable, N = nonAbsorbable) Trade name Knot security Tensile strength Tissue reactivity Wound security (50% tensile strength) Nylon (N) Ethilon Good Good + Non‐Absorbable Polypropylene (N) Prolene Least Best ~ 0 Non‐Absorbable Silk (N) Silk Best Least +++ Non‐Absorbable …

5. Aluminum-containing Antacids (except aluminum phosphate) combine with dietary phosphate in the intestine forming insoluble, nonabsorbable aluminum phosphate which is excreted in the feces. b If phosphate intake is limited and renal function is normal, aluminum Antacids (except aluminum phosphate) decrease phosphate absorption and hypophosphatemia and hypophosphaturia occur
