It was done in the field.We feel like to use the horn bridge,but never we don't make him.We dont rely with the bridge or the plate.Because of that ,we put the fiberglass bandage.

Like other resections,we use the hospital plate and impression dental material,barshoe and fiberglass bandage.The concavity was filled with gauzes saturated of sugardine and metronidazol.Also we put a local perfusion of antibiotic in the digital artery.

The vet suggests antibiotics and Fenilbutazone.The food is very important for to avoid the ileon impact (constipation and colic).Hay or ray grass only.

beslagsmed OFFLINE Master Posts: 1798 Thank you received: 5 Karma: 0	Gabino, I'm suprised a shoe wasn't applied first. Here I've had vets want the shoe on first to stablize the horn wall before taking out the keratoma. Looks like a good job. Keep us posted on the recovery.

Thank's for putting photos up. I wish I had done spainish now so I could read your other part. Mine just had a keratoma remove in hind foot. He is doing well no bute now. He had to go away to the vet's for it. That was last Tuesday he is happy on foot and will be having hosipal plate shoe on tom along with a vet check up. Fingers crossed it carry on healing niceing. He has had a few abscess in this foot one that went down to the surface of the pedal bone. He went away for a week to the vets for this to be dealt with.

Then it was every 6 months or so we would have another one. After changing vets and farrier a lot of other issues has come to light and this keratoma was one of them!!! I have been reading up on this trying to understand it. Slowing I am now.
