Answer Thursday! Pressure from a properly applied bandage and carefully targeted topical steroids to keep that tissue in check is the answer.
Horses are excellent at making granulation tissue, the tissue that fills in a wound during healing. But when it grows above the skin’s edges, it gets in the way of new skin covering the wound. Control is key!
This is the same wound you saw yesterday, photographed just ONE WEEK later! We’re very happy with its progress.
We’ll continue bandaging as the wound shrinks, then transition to Silver Sox to help support the final stages of healing.
Wound care changes as healing progresses. The right treatment at the right time makes all the difference!

What's Up This Wednesday, along with the answer........What’s one thing you should never skip when getting a new horse?
A pre-purchase exam. Yes, even if the horse is free. ESPECIALLY if the horse is free.
The purchase price is only the beginning, and “free” horses eat just as much as the expensive ones!
A pre-purchase exam helps you understand the horse’s health and soundness, identify concerns, and make an informed decision about whether this horse fits your plans. It isn’t a crystal ball or a guarantee, but it’s valuable information BEFORE you commit.
Want to know what the exam should include, which additional tests might make sense, and what to do with the findings?
Join Dr. Lacher TOMORROW NIGHT for a webinar with The Horse! Registration here https://thehorse.com/1147530/what-you-need-to-know-about-equine-prepurchase-exams/

It takes a team to get a horse back on its feet!
When this horse was diagnosed with a tendon tear deep within the foot, we knew successful treatment would require more than just veterinary care.
We treated the injured tendon with equicenta CTM, an umbilical tissue-derived biologic product intended to support tissue healing using the ultrasound to put it right in the tear. But treating the injury is only part of the equation!
Working closely with the horse's farrier, we developed a therapeutic shoeing plan to provide appropriate support and reduce stress on the injured structures while healing takes place.
We diagnose and treat the injury. The farrier helps create the mechanical environment for healing. Neither can do it as effectively alone.
This is why we love collaborating with great farriers! Combining veterinary medicine, advanced treatment options, and thoughtful farriery gives our patients the best opportunity for a successful recovery.
Because sometimes the best treatment plan involves more than one toolbox!

Is your horse microchip ready?
Beginning December 1, 2026, all horses competing at USEF-licensed or endorsed competitions must have a microchip. We can easily place one at any appointment, just ask when you schedule!
Even if your horse’s only competitive event is racing to the feed bucket, a microchip is a smart idea. It can help identify your horse if they’re lost during a natural disaster...or if it’s just a Tuesday and a tree falls on your fence in the middle of the night.
Already chipped? Make sure your contact information is current with the microchip registry, and submit your horse’s chip number to USEF before competing.
