ABSTRACT
Ghamsari SM, Azari O, Dehghan MM., Wound healing in thoroughbred and Caspian horses., Onl J Vet Res., 29 (11): 694-703,
2025. Limb
wound healing in ponies is associated with exuberant granulation and prompt
healing compared with horses. We describe wound healing in Caspian miniature
horses and thoroughbred horses. Rectangular (20×35 mm) skin wounds were created on lateral aspect of left
and right metacarpi and neck in 4 mixed thoroughbred and 4 Caspian horses.
Wound healing was compared through clinical and geometrical assessments. Neck
wounds were evaluated 5 weeks and limb wounds 12 weeks. We found no difference
in second–intention wound healing between thoroughbred and Caspian horses. However,
neck wounds healed sooner than limb wound in both groups. WE find that larger
limb size is not associated with healing in equids.
