Abstract

Distal limb wounds occur commonly in horses, and treatment can be frustrating for owners and veterinarians. Caring for these wounds is often very expensive, labor intensive, and prolonged. Many commercial products and clinical techniques have been developed to help treat these wounds. Healing of these wounds depends on many factors. With proper wound evaluation and treatment, affected horses can return to function sooner than in the past.
