Hypovolemia leads to a decrease in cardiac output and this leads to tissue and organ hypoperfusion and cellular hypoxia.

Hypoproteinemia due to the protein loss is a serious issue, because, combined with the fluid shifts and hypovolemia, it sets the stage for severe shock and hypotension. Severe burn cases are extremely complex, with compromise of respiratory, cardiovascular, electrolyte, metabolic, immune and energy pathway systems, and require a proper understanding and management of physiology, endocrinology, and nutrition and immunology status of the patients, to provide them appropriate treatment. However, it is important to clarify that the severity and the extent of the local burn injury depends not only on the temperature but also on the duration of thermal contact. They are caused by domestic, in-hospital, or in-grooming accidents.ĭomestic conditions such as boiling liquids, direct heat from fireplace, hot metals (such as irons), but also devices used at veterinary hospitals or grooming facilities, such as hair dryers or heating pads, are common sources of burns for dogs and cats. In general, the majority of the burn cases in veterinary medicine are local burn injuries with less than 20% and more commonly around 5% of the body surface affected.

Thermal injuries represent severe mechanical damage to the cells of each layer of the integument.
