Although lucky, she didn\u2019t escape burns across her head, nose, ears, hind end and sides of her body, as well as severe smoke inhalation and respiratory problems.

So, she was put on intravenous, or IV, fluids and pure oxygen to help her breath. Once stabilized, the MSU soft tissue surgery team went to work, while ophthalmologists cared for her eye injuries<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe had to get creative with her burns because of the significant trauma to Stella\u2019s lungs,\u201d said Brea Sandness, a veterinarian and surgical resident at MSU. \u201cShe wasn&#8217;t a great candidate for anesthesia because of her respiratory injuries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when the surgical team turned to a less traditional method \u2013 using Icelandic, descaled cod fish skins donated by Kerecis, a company developing fish-skin products for use in burn and other medical procedures in humans and animals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-16614\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/fish-skin-2-300x177.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"381\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/fish-skin-2-300x177.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/fish-skin-2-768x453.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/fish-skin-2.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 381px) 100vw, 381px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-16613 size-medium alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-and-her-healed-burns-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-and-her-healed-burns-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-and-her-healed-burns-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-and-her-healed-burns.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #808080\">Stella&#8217;s burn wounds during and after treatment with Icelandic, descaled Cod fish skins. Photo Credit: Michigan State University.<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Because of the makeup of the tissue and high omega-3 fatty acids in the cod skin, these grafts have anti-inflammatory and antibiotic properties, important for healing and tissue regeneration. They don\u2019t require heavy sedation, either.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were able to place them on her with minimal sedation, which not only allowed us to heal her without additional stress to her lungs, but improved the way her burns healed,\u201d Sandness said.<\/p>\n<p>The descaling of the cod skins is what differentiates them from other fish grafts, such as tilapia. While scaled tilapia grafts, which gained national attention during the California wildfires earlier this year, are effective, they act more as an organic covering while the skin underneath heals itself.<\/p>\n<p>According to Sandness, descaled grafts have been shown to stimulate the production of cells and become functional, living tissue. In Stella\u2019s case, these grafts, which can be changed as often as the burn requires, were absorbed by her body as new tissue grew into the graft.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Stella is back to being a relatively active pup. But even though her burns are healing well, she still struggles with respiratory issues that will likely need close monitoring and care throughout her life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_16627\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16627\" class=\"wp-image-16627\" src=\"https:\/\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-4-253x300.jpg\" alt=\"stella\" width=\"300\" height=\"356\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-4-253x300.jpg 253w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-4-862x1024.jpg 862w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-4-768x912.jpg 768w, https:\/\/navc.sitepreview.app\/todaysveterinarypractice.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2019\/05\/stella-4.jpg 864w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16627\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A happy, healthy Stella thanks to the team at MSU.
