One of the main problems in veterinary medicine is wounds and skin injuries. In addition to the high cost of treating skin lesions and the resulting complications in equine medicine, some wounds do not respond well to current treatments and cause pain, higher costs, and even death. Since the knowledge of the natural mechanism of wound healing and the failure of these processes lead to chronic unhealed wounds, efforts are being made to diagnose and treat the cause of these types of wounds with new treatments. A 1-yearold male Mixed-breed foal with a left hind limb deep full-thickness wound involving the skin, coronary band, and hoof wall as a result of traumatic force, was managed through a mixture of kind of treatments such as topical utilization of antimicrobial cream, special bandage, and allowing the wound to heal by the secondary intention healing method. Parallel to topical therapy, systemic antibiotics, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were used for seven days. Bandage and topical treatment were changed every four days. After 35 days, no lesions were seen on the affected limb. A significant ability to bear weight was seen in the affected limb without signs of swelling and pain during palpation. It seems that the suggested treatment method used in this case will be suitable for similar cases.
