Help Needed - Wound Pictures

[sea_view]

Hi all,

Looking for help, needing some piccies of basic wounds on horses for my PC lesson on equine first aid tomorrow. I'm doing a session on how to deal with wounds then practical session on applying bandages and polticing.

Have googled images on net but they are not great and some are a bit too disgusting for the age group. (7-14)

Any help gratefully received. Thanks in advance, in Uni for the rest of the day so won't be able to pick them up until later.

These are quite mild for that age:

Both hind legs. The result of being mounted by a gelding and then stood on with his front legs. Actually deeper than they look.

That's all i've got - nothing else has involved blood! **touches lots of wood**

Hi, don't know if these are any help? I haven't got one of when it was first done - the first pic was the next day before I cleaned it up. I don't know how she did it, probably kicking herself rolling we think!

This is the bandaged view:

This is what was underneath!

Ripple was a yearling when she rolled under electric fence, wrapped it around her leg - and panicked. The wound was down to the bone, and went straight through the extensor tendon. The pic shows it about 4 weeks into treatment and in the 'unwrapped' pic you can see the splint which was attached to the front of a shoe and went up the outside of the lower level of bandages and padding to keep the foot forward and the ends of the extensor tendon closely together so they could heal.

It was a bandaging nightmare! Cost more than £40 just for the dressings, cotton wool, orthoban, vet-wrap and elastoplast everytime it was re-dressed (and that was buying it on E-bay - the vet's price wa £30 more!! The leg had to be dressed and padded first - then the splint had to be thoroughly strapped into place. She was on total box rest for 4 months - then in-hand walking and limited yard turnout for several more months!

She has made a full recovery and is now 100% sound! She can gallop and buck with the best of them!

Rian my arab after sumersauling out through the jockey door of the trailer and onto the road

these were taken about half an hour after he had done them ( we thought he had broken a leg at first because for 10 mins he wouldnt put his foot on the flooor, he then had to be walked home, which took 20 mins (he was only 5 mins unp the road but it was very slow going getting him home).
he was pressure bandaged for 6 weeks, and was supposed to be on box rest for 6 weeks, but when he climbed over the dividing wall between the stables, kicked several large holes in his kick boards, broke the latch on the stable door and ripped his bandages off with his teeth taking some skin with it, it was decided that keeping him in was no longer an option so 3 weeks after the accident he was turned out in our back garden, therewas enough room there for him to think he was out and free but not enough room for him to go any faster then a trot, some grazinf and he could chat to the others over the fence.
these were taken about 3 weeks later (after his first day in the field and yes he did rip his bandages off and kneel in the mud
