Abstract

The present study was carried on 355 drafting equine (135 horses, 210 donkeys and10mules)sufferedfrom different varietiesof skin wounds. These animals were subjected to full clinical study including history, physical and clinical inspection in addition to parasitological and hist-opathological examinations for the suspected non-traumatic lesions. The incidence, according to, the locations of wounds were in the head regions (28.2%), neck (5.6%), back (2.8%), shoulders (5.6%), chest (4.2%),gluteal region (2.8%), and abdomen(5.6%),fore limbs (19.7%) and hind limbs (25.4%). Wounds were treated either by surgical debri-dement, high-pressure lavage, suturing, infusion, lancing, excisions, electro-surgery and/or bandaging. Modified –shaped wound defects were closed completely or partially by the aid of centripetal closure, undermining, local skin flap and relaxing incisions.
Exuberant granulation tissue was seen as a common complication of wounds of the lower limbs in donkeys and horses. Mal-interference, chemical irritants, motion and infection promote its development. Primary closure was suited to fresh wound that minimally traumatized while in contaminated wounds delayed primary closure was adopted within 4-5 days of injury before the formation of granulation tissue.
