Abstract

An 3-year-old female Thoroughbred horse was referred with moderate lameness (3/5G) and mild heat on right hoof of forelimb. She was diagnosed with white line disease (WLD) that was included hoof wall separation by radiographic examination and hoof percussion. Treatment was carried out hoof wall resection at first, followed by disinfection of affected hoof and shod modified heart bar. On the re-examination after 4 months, we could find a results which had no lameness, gas pocket in the white line and clinical signs was improved. Subsequently, she was trained and raced after 8 months of diagnosis. So, we supposed that resection of wall and therapeutic shoeing was good for WLD including hoof separation.

중간정도의 파행과 열감을 가진 3세된 더러브렛 암말에서 방사선 및 발굽 검사를 통해 우전지 발굽이 백선병으로 진단되었다. 장제요법 (제벽 절제, 변형 히트바 편자 장착)을 적용한 결과 4개월 후 파행이나 열감이 없었으며 8개월 후에는 조교와 경주에 출주하였다. 국내에서 사육중인 말에서 발생되고 있는 백선병 치료에 장제요법이 좋은 치료법임을 확인하였다.
