12x12 inch full thickness laceration over lateral and ventral neck that partially transected brachiocephalicus m.

Treatment 

Flap was suture closed with a penrose drain; treated with pain meds and antibiotics as well as Tetanus toxoid vaccine; veterinarian was concerned about blood supply to the skin flap and thought that most would devitalize and have to be removed; prescribed laser therapy 6,000 J total dose each treatment, first three days consecutively, then EOD for three more treatments (six total sessions)
