Problem wounds of the horse.
Three clinical cases are presented to illustrate some of the problems that may complicate the treatment of wounds in horses. The three examples are a lower limb laceration, a chronic draining chest wound, and complications associated with a fiberglass cast. The use of ancillary diagnostic aids such as arthrocentesis, diagnostic nerve blocks, radiographs, and ultrasonography are indicated to assess change to deeper structures.
