ASK THE VET: WOUND CARE

Answered by, Nolton Pattio, VMD, Rancho Cucamonga, CA

Question: My horse has been slightly off with lameness in which my veterinarian advised sweating the legs with furazone. By the second day of wrapping, his legs were scalded and ended up with horrible fungus on front of his canon bones. My question is: when treating this condition and after washing, should the heavy scabs be debrided before applying medication or leave them alone? I am getting contradictory answers from the veterinarian and the product manufacturer.
