Description

Wound Care Management is designed to assist the student or practitioner with general wound care in horses. It includes basic wound cleaning and preparation, important anatomical considerations, moist healing concepts, dressing choices, and specific wounds by body region. There are detailed sections about wound closure techniques using bandaging and skin grafting. The highly visual format (70 color photos, 100 figures) remains consistent with the Teton NewMedia Made easy Series and allows veterinarians the opportunity to obtain information quickly.

Enjoy!

One aspect of equine wound management that often gets overlooked is continuity of care after the initial treatment. Even when wound cleaning, dressing selection, and closure techniques are performed correctly, recovery can be affected if updates between the veterinarian, owner, trainer, and rehabilitation team are not properly shared.

A structured approach to recording wound progress, bandage changes, and healing responses can make a significant difference, particularly with complex limb wounds where small changes need close monitoring. Resources focused on connected equine care, including: https://myapeironhub.com, highlight the value of keeping all parties informed throughout the rehabilitation process rather than relying on scattered notes or verbal updates.

The emphasis in this guide on moist wound healing and region-specific treatment is especially useful, as different wound locations can present very different challenges. Having clear visual references alongside practical management advice makes it much easier for practitioners to make timely decisions and track healing outcomes more effectively.
