  • Title: Treatment of canker in horses.
    Author: Wilson DG, Mays MB, Colahan PT.
    Journal: J Am Vet Med Assoc; 1989 Jun 15; 194(12):1721-3. PubMed ID: 2753796.
    Abstract:
    Seven horses with canker had radical surgical debridement and various irritant substances applied to the wounds. Four of the horses were clinically normal in (mean) 3.6 months, 1 mare was lame, and 2 horses were euthanatized because of complications of their treatments. Seven horses that had minor surgical debridement and antimicrobial agents used systemically and topically were clinically normal in (mean) 1.4 months. Seemingly, canker in horses should be managed using minor surgical debridement and appropriate antimicrobial therapy.
