Use of gentamicin sulfate-impregnated sponges as adjuvant therapy for the treatment of chronic foreign body associated sternal osteomyelitis in a dog.

Abstract	A 2-year-old Labrador retriever dog was referred for evaluation of parasternal chronic draining sinus tracts associated with sternal osteomyelitis secondary to the presence of a residual wooden foreign body. The use of gentamicin-impregnated collagen sponges as adjunctive therapy to osteomyelitis treatment is reported herein.
