Abstract
The article details the features of the horse wound process, the principles of post-traumatic treatment and postoperative infections, and also presents the results of clinical studies conducted on XNUMX horses with deep traumatic wounds. Each wound required an individual assessment to select the most appropriate treatment algorithm which was complicated by the localization of the wound in the mobile areas of the animal body. Detailed treatment protocols are presented in each case, indicating the antiseptic and antibacterial agents used, as well as drugs for analgesia and sedation of horses. This article pays particular attention to the method of proper wound lavage, along with the choice of a proper method for edge co-optation. Based on clinical examinations, an algorithm for assessing the condition of a horse wound is presented. Based on the results of the analysis of a wound healing, a protocol for the treatment of horse traumatic wounds in stable conditions was compiled. This scheme for assessing the condition of wounds and their treatment can be recommended for use by veterinary specialists and owners in stable conditions.
