Abstract

A 3-year-old colt Thoroughbred horse was referred with obvious lameness (3/5G) and mild heat and pain on left hoof of forelimb. He was diagnosed with quarter cracks that have a typical conformation of sheared heel, which are a different length and height between medial/lateral heels. Various materials and techniques were carried out to repair quarter cracks by using many different kinds of clips, bar shoes on fifth times for about 10 months. It worked on him without pain and heat on the cracked hoof, and then he could retrain for racing from the 36th weeks beginning of therapeutic shoeing. We suggested that especially fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) material and therapeutic shoeing were a great help to treat quarter cracks induced by sheared heel.

더러브렛종 세 살짜리 경주용 수말이 평보 및 속보 걸음에서 좌측 앞다리의 뚜렷한 파행, 경미한 열감 및 통증을 발현하여 한국마사회 동물병원에 내원하였다. 왼쪽 발굽의 내외측의 길이 차이가 매우 큰, 전형적인 부등 제종에 기인한 제측 열제로 진단되었다. 열제면 고정, 부중 감소용 편자 장착 및 인공제벽 도포 등 다양한 처치방법을 약 2개월 간격으로 총 5차례 선택적으로 적용하여 좋은 결과를 나타내었으며, 발굽에 열감과 파행이 완전히 사라진 바 치료 개시 약 36주차 후부터 출전을 위한 훈련을 개시하였다. 특히 섬유강화플라스틱(FRP)재질의 연결판과 치료용 편자 장착 등 장제요법은 부등제종에 기인한 제측 열제의 치료에 있어서 매우 도움이 되는 것으로 판단되었다.
