How to Treat a Leg Wound on Your Horse When No Vet Is Available
only treatment available for a horse like that is for it to be sedated, have the proud flesh removed, and then start from the very beginning.
Follow-Up Care for Your Injured Horse
Depending on the severity of the wound, you can expect this to go on for quite a while. A degloving injury over the knee will open up every
time the horse runs, so healing time is normally months, not weeks.
If you do not examine and treat the wound every day, the wound can
become infected with bacteria or maggots. Tie your horse up and apply
some dilute iodine each morning, then spray on some coconut oil to control the development of proud flesh. Spray the edge of the wound
with a fly-prevention product.
Make Veterinary Care a Top Priority
Horses are expensive to purchase, expensive to take care of on a daily basis, and terribly expensive to treat when suffering from an injury.
