(a) Weighted granulation score for all wounds by whether the wound was on a forelimb or hind limb and whether the wound was biopsied. Data are presented as box-and-whisker plots, with median values represented by the horizontal lines and the interquartile range represented by the box. Black dots are values that are 1.5 times the box length above the 75th percentile. The ends of the whiskers represent the smallest and largest values not classified as outliers. (b) Wound temperature in °C for all wounds by whether the wound was on a forelimb or hind limb and whether the wound was biopsied. * signifies a significant difference in wound temperature and weighted granulation score between forelimbs and hindlimbs (P = < 0.05). †signifies a significant difference in weighted granulation score based on whether the wound was biopsied (P = < 0.05). Note that wounds on hindlimbs had higher temperatures and more granulation tissue compared to wounds on forelimb wounds, but taking biopsies only affected the severity of granulation tissue
